    I have a hard time understanding what they are “crusading” about. I believe they don’t know either

    Pretty sure it’s just enhancing and absolutely securing their own power over others. Seems pretty simple, really: whatever vector you can use to legally, extra-legally, or even illegally crush those who don’t want to be ruled by you, foment hate and fear against them, take away their resources, and just altogether put them at your absolute mercy, you take.

    Oh. I’m also talking about the right in general (liberals), not just the nominally conservative ones. Haven’t met a liberal yet with any power who’s not threatened by even the chance that leftist ideas will be realized. Those that aren’t conservatives just don’t seem to feel like it’s quite as inevitable (why would it be when they co-opt leftist ideas and movements and funnel them into liberalism, making sure avenues like the Democratic Party are as radical as people can get), so they’re more content to use legal and general economic methods to subvert, control, and starve us…at least most of the time (but then, there’s always shit like election fraud like they pull against the Green Party, though).
