@Derek: Thank you Derek, saying this makes my effort of the post very worthwhile and I appreciate what you said.
The hardest thing for me to take when considering the conservative position is that they're fighting against the wrong enemy. But that's what happens when they're fed a steady diet of fear and misinformation. "Us vs. Them" is a powerful platform and one that's been used forever by those in power to control the masses.
If the "real" Americans decided to stand up against our shared enemy, we'd all see a better quality of life. But until then, we get to hear about "freedom" (that denies freedom to others), a "Christian nation," (that doesn't extend mercy and compassion to those in need) and less government (when it's the government that is the only thing standing between them and ruin).

No. Nothing wrong with being liberal.
I'm progressist, that it's pretty similar to what people understand for liberal here. I'm proud of it. But, I try to listen to people who doesn't think the same as me.
I also share your opinion that we could talk about politics with respect for the other.

I agree with you about coming together, but not about Trump. Those allegations are unfounded without evidence.
You sound like a classic liberal not the cultural Marxists lunatics that prevail in the culture who have no common sense and want to destroy everything good in western culture. Those who turn reality on its head denying male and female, want their safe spaces, and can't hold a rational thought and keep calling others Nazis and racist, and speaking of "white priveledge." Wanting to ban the word "mother" because it offends trans people. These are the lunatic left who are irrational and illogical. You can't reason with them, and they think violence is okay.
No, I don't think you are one of them, but the left is now run by these lunatics, so I'm afraid your side is all lumped in together with the "useful idiots." Btw, I'm a conservative independent. I don't vote for the person but issues and values.
