Big Picture Explanation of What Happened in the Past 15 Years That Flipped the Social, Cultural, Media, Leftist and Govt Relationship
"... Liberalism literally went from railing against Big Govt, to embracing corrupt Big Govt. Why and how did this happen? ... The answer “why” is not complicated. not complicated at all. In 2008, the ‘activists’ took control of government. ..."
Makes sense to me!
Mirrors recent dynamic within the Catholic Church, actually. All the left-lib types were all about defying and challenging JPII and BXVI whenever they upheld a bit of Tradition. But then, Francis. Now they're all clamping down on dissent--i.e. clamping down on Tradtion-- because "you have to obey the Pope."
Liberalism wants freedom to do anything, and a powerful government that is capable of taking care of those who won't take care of themselves.
They were never rebelling against government, only against established principles. they love being taken care of by a huge liberal government.
