Why the right wing keeps “winning”
My liberal view is a bias to like those who are different
The world's conservatives are intent on pitting us against each other
When we oppose them we lose; this is their trap.
Yes this is a rephrasing of the “must we be tolerant of intolerance?” debate. And that framing is also a forfeit from the beginning.
In short, the bulk of our communication as liberals MUST BE the promotion of fairness more than the opposition to unfairness.
But good news doesn't make the news and evil never sleeps and we MUST fight them back every day! And all of that is true. And still it is not enough. We absolutely must flood the zone with humanist messages all day every day everywhere.
