Someone challenged me to give a list of problems liberals have solved
Well
—Rebelled against Britain
—The Founding of this country
—The re-founding of the country under a new Constitution that weakened states’ rights and enhanced federal power
—The Bill of Rights
—Beat breakaway traitors through force of arms; won the Civil War
—Abolished slavery
—Established national parks
—Gave women the right to vote
—Won WWI
—The New Deal
—The Manhattan Project
—Won WWII
—The Civil Rights Act
—Man on the Moon
—The Clinton economic boom
—Killed Osama bin Laden
—Marriage equality
An incomplete list of achievements by American politicians and political movements with “liberal” (socially-progressive, pro-federal power) views for their time.
Next I’ll do conservatives, but I’m afraid the list is going to be a lot shorter, as liberalism is the default mode of governing
