I do recall a time when " liberalism " did not have such a nasty , ILLIBERAL , disposition. Since becoming besotted with " identity politics " early in the Clinton era it has become increasing the voice of a privileged RAINBOW elite- and has burned all bridges with the white working class, in fact with the generic American working class.

 The Hillary Democrats sound more and more like a strident bunch of neo-con war mongers. Their VOICE is the voice of the mainstream news media. Even NPR has lost touch with objective reality.

In smearing Trump no " liberal " voice recalled the J. Edgar Hoover's " motel " spying on Martin Luther King. The spy agencies are not a force for truth in the world. The CIA, the FBI, Homeland Security serve the American plutocracy. They START wars.
