I totally disagree with you that liberals seem harmless. In the US at least the left wields asymmetric power and so the things they’re wrong about concern me a lot. Conservatives don’t seem to really do anything at all.
Here’s a few things about the left that really worry me. These are of course generalizations and not every lefty agrees with all of these but they’re things that are way way way more
common on the left than the right.
-On criminal justice there’s a subset of the left that is incredibly extremist, and will release obviously violent criminals again and again and again and again until they kill someone. But if a civilian attempts to stop these criminals even in a self defense situation they’ll come down on them
like a hammer. You may think I’m exaggerating but I’m not, look up Daniel Penney. Huge swathes of the urban United States are places so violent that it would be hard for a European to even comprehend (no offense.) The homicide rate in places like south Chicago are comparable to a country in the middle of a war. It did not used to be this way, crime rates skyrocketed in the 1960s when the left ascended.
-Their policies/behaviors on affirmative action in the workplace and education are a direct threat to my ability to make a living to support my family, and a threat to the livelihood of my own children in the future.
-The US had a developed something as close as possible to a post racial consensus that the left deliberately blew up in the 2010s by spreading completely false narratives about police brutality etc
-The position of the Democratic party on abortion is that is should be allowed for any reason the mother decides up to the moment of birth. To me that’s absolutely horrifying
-Leftist judges tend not to care about the constitution, and will just rule however they want. An interesting trend I’ve noticed in my years of watching the Supreme Court, there’s never any debate whatsoever how the liberal justices will rule on a contentious political issue. It’s not even considered by anyone for a split second. The question is always if some of the conservatives will defect. Leftist judges when they get power will ignore the constitution, precedent, and common sense and just brute force the country in the direction they want. For example for a half century the official constitutional interpretation of this clause was that it meant there was an absolute right to an abortion: “No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”
-The lefts position on parental rights is insane. They think that public school teachers have the right to talk to my children about sex and transgenderism and call them by a different name without my consent or knowledge.
-The left in the US does not believe that our country has the right to secure our border. We’ve had about ten million illegal immigrants move here since Biden took office, with the tacit support of the Democratic establishment
-The left does not believe in freedom of speech which is extremely important to me as it’s a right my people have had for centuries. The right has basically won on this issue in the past few years but the stuff I personally witnessed in 2020 is something I’ll never forget. I saw people lose their jobs for saying really milquetoast stuff in private conversations with people they thought were their friends.
That’s just off the top of my head. I hate a lot about the modern right too, like their retardation, the conspiracy theories, wanting to cut taxes for billionaires for some reason, but the left scares me more
