Fundamentalist Liberals Are Making COVID Worse

As increasingly secular liberals find more and more meaning in politics, they are becoming increasingly fundamentalist.

Liberals are adopting the same rigid approach they decry in others, refusing to compromise, consider alternative viewpoints or even view their beliefs as falsifiable.

Liberals have recently transformed their environmental campaign into a moral crusade, and they are bringing this absolutist approach to fighting the COVID pandemic.

The "With us or against us" mentality that alienates potential allies in the fight against global warming is now prolonging the nation's fight against COVID. Even as liberals proudly declare they are following the science, they continue to resist scientific evidence and common sense alike.

The media gives liberals credit for taking aggressive action in response to the crisis of the day, but often moves on to other stories before the actual consequences of those actions can be measured.

Liberals routinely deny the trade-offs inherent in their policy choices, preferring the simplistic approach of framing their political debates as good versus evil.

Liberal policies may still make sense to many voters, despite the costs, but liberals would be more effective in preaching beyond their choir if they made their case honestly.
