I wish this discussion would occur on a national level, possibly initiated by a Tweet from Trump or something along those lines. The idiocy of liberalism has been treated like the crazy aunt locked away in the attic, a topic no one wants to talk about openly or publicly.

What causes liberalism? Probably due a part of the human mind that affects a sense of logic and honesty. Liberals tend to be deficient in those two areas. They're that way for reasons that may be similar to why some people have good retention or a poor one.

Some liberals may also want to be on the left because they have a guilt conscience about themselves. They may think their liberalism offsets their greed, intolerance, bigotries, jealousies, stupidity. In general, never trust the judgment, honesty or integrity of a typical liberal.
