The left-wing authoritarian echo chamber in media, entertainment, academia will only get uglier. Expect more Democrat skulduggery and voter fraud.
Shock: US edges more ‘center-right,’ just 24% liberal
By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner January 09, 2020:
They have an outsized voice in the media, pop culture, and politics, especially the 2020 Democratic presidential contest, but only 24% of the nation claims to be liberal, with the rest in the long-dominant “center-right” camp, according to a new survey.
In fact, Gallup today said that conservatives lead at 37%, followed by moderates at 34%, though more still identify as Democrat over Republican.

“The percentage identifying as conservative in 2019 was up two points from the 35% measured in 2018, while the percentage liberal was down two points from 26%. While these changes are statistically significant, some two-point changes in the past were short-lived, so it will be important to see whether these trends continue in 2020,” said the survey analysis.
The poll should cheer the Trump reelection campaign and the White House as it readies for the 2020 battle because it shows that the president may have a larger base to tap.
Republicans, for example, are calling themselves conservative more and more while Democrats are taking the liberal label slightly less.
“The large majority of Republicans have consistently labeled themselves conservative in Gallup polling over the life of this trend, although the proportion has inched up from about six in 10 during the early 1990s to over seven in 10 more recently,” Gallup said.
Democrats are more politically diverse and overwhelmingly liberal, but that has seen a change under Trump. “The liberal wing of the Democratic Party has about doubled in size over the past quarter century, rising from 25% in 1994 to 51% in 2018. The slip to 49% in 2019 suggests that trend may be slowing or leveling off, at least temporarily,” said Gallup.
And it warned that independents are growing as some Republicans and Democrats adopt that label.
Even though more voters call themselves Democrats, Gallup said that the fighting among Democrats raises questions about their ability to capitalize on that voter lead.
“It’s the combination of Americans’ party and ideological preferences that injects variability into politics. Even within the parties, there is dynamism, although perhaps less so among Republicans, given their general conformity around conservatism. But the Democratic Party is more fractured. And even though liberalism has been on the rise among Democrats, it is not yet the clear majority position, perhaps leading to the strong intraparty clashes seen over the past year on the Democratic debate stages and throughout social media, as Democrats try to come together around a standard-bearer for 2020,” said the analysis.

I believe it is more like 70% are Conservatives and maybe 20% (OR LESS) of those are moderate but lean right. Those 20% are the people who FOLLOW and not LEAD. I am a CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE that puts the Word of GOD, FIRST. Anything else is MANKIND’S FOOLISHNESS.

Hey Boys & Girls, stop talking about draining the swamp. Here’s a fool-proof way to actually drain the Democrats of their money.
Google any of the following names:
Bloomberg
Sanders
Warren
Buttigieg
No matter which name you Google, it will bring up a paid ad from that candidate. Click on the ad link. Done!!
Every time you click on their paid ad it will cost their campaign $5-$10 per click.
Pass this on.

I rarely listen to Rush but happened to catch him saying that only 24% are liberals.
These protests are just bought and paid for people and the protest pushers are very organized.
That want to give you the ILLUSION that you are out of step if you disagree with liberalism.

Demokkkrats have ruled us …
Mainly through voter suppression. They’ve convinced most of us that our voted does not matter.
They have been aided in this project by the GOPe. The Establishment GOP refuses to support any candidate more pro-American than a Demokkkrat-lite squish. Only the most dedicated among us have been willing to go to the polls on primary day and vote against the Demokkkrat-lite, and then – when the rare conservative wins the primaries, the GOPe remains silent while the Demokkkrat media tears him apart with lies and screams of ‘H i t l e r’ …
Few souls are willing to go to the polls to vote for someone they only know as ‘H i t l e r !!@#$%^&&**!!!!!’
Their other great weapon is their Voter Fraud Machine … and I won’t go through it again …
But the most important factor is counting illegals for the purpose of representation in gerrymandering.
This trick crushes votes like no other, and it has nothing to do with fake votes or illegals actually going to the polls, or corrupt officials creating votes out of thin air with absentee ballots.
Now it’s true that over my lifetime, the Demokkkrats have created an entire base out of anchor babies who are now legally voting everywhere … but the illegal fraction is twice as large as the legal fraction … based on the government’s own numbers. Don’t bother looking for them – you won’t find them.
But even with all that …
Have you noticed that the Demokkkrats vote at twice the rate of Republicans? We all know they vote over 100% of their registration in some cases, but their vote participation rates make no sense whatsoever.
I can believe government and union employees vote at ridiculous participation rates – especially in off-season and special elections – but do they really vote at nearly twice the rate of the rest of us?

That’s why the Democrats want to attract so many homeless and illegal immigrants to California.

The Left seem to be gaming the system in multiple ways. Here in Commiefornia we have automatic voter registration with driver license renewals. And that includes registering illegal aliens. We also have voter harvesting. In our traditionally conservative districts, the ballots counted after the polls were closed came in “inexplicably” 100% for Democrats… most probably due to shenanigans than fair voting.

Democrooks can not win honestly in America. The only way for them to get elected is to flood the country with foreign element.

liberal is the wrong term for what the poll is describing. The turn in the democrat party has been to the left or socialist. I don’t have a big problem with straight liberals. They have many policy differences with conservatives but at least they are patriots. Leftist/socialists, which I think are 30% of the democrat party now and running it, are totally anti American as they are run by the Squad and Bernie and most of those running for president.

This is probably shocking but only to Democrats. Even illegal aliens grow to love the USA eventually and realize that there is no country like this in the world. The real danger to the USA is Islam and now you can add the Democrats to that list because they grow to hate patriotism more every day. I’m embarrassed to admit that I was a Dem until last year when I permanently fixed it becoming no-party independent.
