I agree the rhetoric of the right wing has gone batshit insane. Its extremely toxic, this idea that disagreeing parties are unamerican. Such words are a road to fascism.
Just my opinion here. but liberalism: the concepts of tolerence, combatting poverty & racism, the pursuit of education - these are things that prosper in an environment of peace & freedom. In places that are chronically unstable, like africa & the middle east, anti-intellectualism, xenophobia, & rascism still reign. By extension, the american right wing mimics these more primative values & prospers in a climate of fear & instability. This is why the right wing is obsessed with demonizing the government.
