Those holding liberal views and the principles that go with them are very different from those of us who claim to be conservatives or libertarians. The contrast between the left and right that make up the halves of America has never been more pronounced — nor, I would argue, more hazardous to our country's health. With midterm elections coming up in just about ten weeks' time, this might be the right moment to reflect on just how different the two Americas are.
The overarching differences
Let's start with traditional conservatives. By traditional, I am referring to a set of values that have transcended many generations. Some of them are love of country, respect for authority and the rule of law, trust in our institutions, belief in personal accountability, fidelity to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, trust in our courts (and juries) to fairly adjudicate the cases before them and mete out appropriate punishment to the guilty, confidence in our schools and teachers to educate our children passionately but objectively, respect for our military service members and law enforcement organizations for the dangerous jobs they do,

The world of the left
The left's world is dominated by, as I've stated, a belief in situational dependency coupled with might makes right. Leftists eschew actual democracy and fear free speech. They see the forced imposition of their cultural views as a holy crusade, and if anyone dares question that crusade's legitimacy, he is summarily banned, doxxed, deplatformed, ostracized from polite society, vilified, and fired from his job — or accused of being a white supremacists, misogynist, homophobe, right-wing extremist, or domestic terrorist. Leftists have no qualms about offering up the names of the "opposition" to the media and to municipal, state, or federal authorities for later prosecution or persecution.

Leftist governments have a history of atrocities. And you know what they say about those who don’t learn from history.
Leftist nations also have a certian rate of overall failure.
The unprinicpled left starting rising in the late 1800s in Europe. This is not a new phenomenon.
Why are people so slow to see what is happening around them?
Because they believed that it couldn’t happen here.
The unprincipled left rose 50+ years ago. Just look at Rules For Radicals...and Bill Ayers.
I cannot answer the question.
“By traditional, I am referring to a set of values that have transcended many generations.”

These values are dying off as we leave. Those younger have been propagandized their entire lives thru school, media and news propaganda. How are we to fix that?
It is the cycle of empires. None last forever. The demise follows a pattern.
Read the Fate of Empires by Sir John Glubb. Here is a link I found to it on line:

“The unprinicpled left starting rising in the late 1800s in Europe”
Sorry I have to disagree with that. The truth is this started with the beginning of mankind, as soon as there were two humans there was disagreement. As this progresses the possibility of 100% everlasting peace is gone.
