From a developmental standpoint, liberals sound a bit on the childish, egocentric side, with an external locus of control.
Maybe that explains why the young trend liberal--youth tend to be more binary in their thinking and also less able to imagine another's point of view. They haven't done too much in life, and perhaps did not have stand-up, responsible parents as models.
To be clear, I think the liberal mindset is a necessary balance to conservatism, but only in a limited way. Change for change's sake, utopianism, and purblind moral reasoning is poison, unchecked.
Fellow adults, let's try to keep the lights on until this mob of silly assholes either grow up or Darwin themselves.

@FzCzombie1group Strauss and Howe point out that the traditional sæculum cycle is "about the length of a long human life" 80-100 years. They add that American society formed with European colonists recently and abruptly, without the Old World's ancient traditions and previous civilizations to muddle things, so America's turning are unusually regular. (Yes, Amerindians were here, but they and their culture could not countervail)
Another big point about Fourth Turnings is that, while the crisis is usually "total war," it could also be famine, pestilence, or economic catastrophe. Currently, Neil Howe thinks that the beginning of our current crisis was either the 2008 banking crisis, 9/11, or both, and that the crisis has not yet reached its climax, and won't abate for another decade.
We won't know for a few years. It could very well be that the attempted coup on a constitutionally elected president was the worst of it.
Hope so!

I like the north well enough, but LA and the surrounding desert is icky. Driving in LA is worse than Dallas, Chicago, Minneapolis, Memphis, D.C., New Orleans, St. Louis, Seattle, Portland, or Kansas City.

we've been to a couple of political rallies, including a couple of Trump rallies. They always have metal detectors and wands, make you empty out your pockets, and confiscate anything remotely menacing, such as jacknives and vape pens. At the most recent Trump rally, we left our sidearms cased and unloaded in the car, about a quarter mile from where Air Force One landed, but we could have carried right up until Secret Service confiscated them at the magnetometer and turkey-walked us to wherever they wanted to detain us. If we had been open carrying in the long lines, cops would have found us well before the metal detectors.
Edit: while waiting in line, hubby discovered that he'd left a strip of .357 rounds in his pocket, so he tucked them under a semi trailer to retrieve when returning from the rally. Someone was watching him, because they were gone, later.
