As someone who tends to vote Democrat to Republican 2 to 1, why am I saying this? Especially to a group of optimistic progressives with "We Win" if the turmoil in the GOP continues. I say this to help America! We need choice--clear and unfettered choice in our electoral process. As of now, we have 2 parties, but 3 core ideological bents. The Democrats, which is composed of Liberals and Moderates, and the Republicans which is composed of Conservative and Moderates.
This system has seemed to work only for the Liberals!! By increasing the tension between Moderates and Conservatives, the largest ideological groups in the country. While Moderate and Conservatives fight, Liberal squeeze through and get their Agendas past in the heat of the moment. If what I say is so, then why would any Liberal wish to change this dynamic. It is due to the trend of Conservatism slowly corrupting the Moderates with their ideology!
A quick look at Centrist ideology tells the whole story. Moderates hate conflict deep down, they are normally the ones looking for compromises and resolutions. Government is kept functional due to the Moderates hard work and even sacrifice of what they may want.
However, the Conservatives are not afraid of conflict! They see conflict as just one of the many tools to protect the things to preserve. Think about it. A quick to the head will warn any adversary against changing the core values they installed in America. They do not waste bullets with warning shots!. This difference is the first key to transforming Moderates into Conservatives.
The other Key is the fact that Liberals are taking advantage of the conflict between the two. Moderates do not favor 'rapid' change. They like to look things over and and weigh the pros and cons first. However, by being in lock battle with conservatives, they only get to hear the cons and are accused of supporting those cons!! The conservatives are waging a political and psychological war on the moderates. The conservatives weaponry only increase each time Liberals sneak-pass an agenda.
The ACA--Conservatives call Moderates socialist at best, Marxist soldiers running death camp for poor and elderly at worst!!
Gay Marriage--Conservatives claim Moderates don't read the Bible at best, atheistic homosexuals that support child rape and polygamy at worst!!
Now immigration. We know what the Conservatives say! Drug smugglers and rapist that kill and raping women without care. An invading army that are stealing jobs and decreasing wages!! A large group of squatters that suck the government teat dry and take a squat on American Traditions!! The Moderates support this, they scream!! The Moderates, with their Liberal allies, are enablers of Americas destruction!!
How long do you think the Centrist Wall will last, my dear Liberals and progressives?
How long do you think the "conflict resolving, lets all settle down and examine the problem, I'm sure we can come up with something" Mr and Mrs Moderate can hold up to the Conservative bombardment of anger and hatred?
Moderates are not ideologues. They do not readily throw themselves upon the martyr pyre of socialism nor capitalism. They are convinced something can be wrangled out so that all can live sufficiently, comfortably if they try hard enough. They seek political understanding and corporation with their fellows citizens.
This is what makes them a weak Wall! Their willingness to compromise and listen to the otherside. For the last 6 years, Moderates are the ones that took the blunt of Liberal accomplishment. The Moderates deeply considered what the conservatives have said, while liberals laughed it off as nonsense!! The Moderates feel the real animosity of the right as they wonder if they have not betrayed the founders dream, while Liberals moon conservatives and call all that anger "deranged madness derived from conservative xenophobia and insecurities!!"
The Centrist Wall is slowly crumbling, Liberals!! When it falls, many of those Moderates would have converted or quit politics!!
The only way to save what you have accomplished is to separate the Moderates from the Conservatives! Don't let your comrades carry your burden. Remove the Moderates from the front lines! Help divide the Republican party. Confront those Conservatives on the battlefields of political ideas. Give the Moderates a break.
It is not too late Moderate Republicans!
Help is on the way!!
