No one can doubt that we are now in the most liberal period in the country's history. Since the 2012 election, Obama and the Democrats have moved to the extreme liberal left, both on social and economic issues. Only moron or a liar, such as a RoryN type, could even bother to deny this obvious fact.
Gone is any pretext or semblance of "new Democrat" moderatism that led Bill Clinton and the resurgence of the Democrats in the 1990s. Gone is the pragmatic free market moderatism of Clinton and Gore. Gone is the attempt to at least appear somewhat moderate on social issues. We are now getting the "real deal" of unadulterated hard-core post-modern liberalism, full blown, in your face, with a full court press from the adminstration, the Democratic Party in Congress and state houses, and above all in the compliant and supportive liberal mainstream media propaganda machine.
Even the third rail of American politics over the past 15 years, gun rights, are openly being assaulted in Congress, state houses, and the media on a daily basis. One state even called for annual "house to house" inspections of gun owners.
They are now openly fighting to push through the most radical dreams of post-modern liberals on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE, economic and social, in a way that even four years ago would have been considered politically suicidal by most pundits in either party.
So far there has seemingly been ZERO negative backlash in public opinion. Can that really last? Even with media brainwashing the public as much as they can, the current tornado of radical liberal extremism sweeping the land seems destined for some level of backlash; there always is a backlash when things rapidly swing far in one political direction. Can the current extreme liberal bitzkreig somehow be an exception to this historical rule? If so, what makes it different?
