Everyone loves the concept of democracy which has checks and balances. It cannot exist without them. Conservative and liberal provide those checks and balances. However todays progressives want no checks and all their programs, no matter how well intended, are imbalanced. With the caveat, I don't confuse actual liberals as he appropriately and correctly described in the video, with woke or progressive by the way.
There's plenty of people on either side of the aisle who are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. They may think of themselves as politically liberal or conservative. That's where democracy is, thats where the balance is. The rest of it has just turned Politics into a self-justified way to hate each other, plain and simple.
