This thread could as well have been entitled >> "Liberals Ruin a Good Thing". Wow. Does this mean that I, protectionist, actually agree with some policies of liberals ? Well, yes it does. There are a few. As a conservative who was a liberal for 40 years, before becoming an independent in 2003 (and still voting for Kerry in 2004, and then Obama in 2008), and then a conservative in 2009,I still have a few liberal preferences.
Some friends of mine say >> "If you think that, you should be a Democrat." Well, I'm not. I'm a registered Republican, and a very conservative one, as well. so what is that keeps me firmly entrenched on the right, despite having some left issue preferences ?
It is the crazyiness of the left that keeps me away from it. The problem with the left is that it goes waaaay too far in some of the things it stands for. It is so bad that I have to abandon some of my rather lefty policies, which i still firmly support, and go to the right, and vote for Donald Trump (twice). I also voted for Virgil Goode in 2012, because I thought Romney wasn't conservative enough.
I doubt that this will even make a dent in liberals' mindsets and political persuasions, but here are the reasons I could go never back to them again, and how they ruin their own polity, making it unacceptable >>
1. Being globalist, advocating open borders, and flooding the US with millions of people from 3rd world hellholes.
2. Accepting Islam as a religion, and its imposition of immoral and illegal practices upon Americans, including terrorism in some cases.
3. Pandering to blacks to the point of discriminating against whites in Affirmative Action, and engaging in lawlessness.
4. Disrespecting the 2nd amendment and infringing on the right to carry a gun for self-defense.
5. Support of crazy sexual orientation policies.
There are more but I guess these are the basics. What a shame. To ruin good policies, and a whole political party, just to support these crazy ones.
Let's examine your bullet points:
1. False Claim. All American Citizen likely want a secure border. We don't feel arresting mothers and separating them from their children at the border increases our security.
Permitting illegals to enter at will and stay indicates that you people emphatically do not want secure borders.
2. Islam is a religion, and one which was recognized by the founding fathers in the 18th Century.
Jefferson studied the Koran and Islam to gain insights into the Barbary Pirates. He wasn't a fan.
3. Affirmative Action was a practice by government to recruit minorities, incl. women, into the workforce so that government agencies reflected the demographics of its population.
Protected and privileged classes are unconstitutional.
4. The claim that the 2nd A. allows anyone to own, possess or have in their custody and control is a fiction.
No one has claimed that, easily evidenced by the fact that felons lose their right to own firearms.
5. Sexual preferences among consenting adults do no harm. Crimes of rape, sexual assault of minors and adults are crimes, and in most states sex can only be consensual if the participant is 18 and older.
The more openly decadent the society, the more likely it is headed to destruction.

Seems the evidence that the current administration is decadent; I hope Trump&Co. do not lead us to be destructed.
I don't employ undocumented persons. I check all contractors - many of whom hire workers who only speak Spanish - when I have work done at my properties. Not only do contractors hire persons not eligible to work in the US, so do hotels/motels, restaurants, roofers, cement contractors and other private sector businesses.
You offer no evidence in you comment about Jefferson. The First Amendment is clear, much more so than the Second.
Affirmative Action does not pander to blacks. AA was in effect to make the demographics of the community, city or county/parish mirror the entire population' demographics.
How would you feel if every police officer / deputy sheriff in your community was black (I assume you are white)?
