conservatives and conservative thought is more dangerous to a liberal than any foreign power or radical idea. they know they have the full force of the military to protect them from enemies abroad, the national guard and now the capital police and their personal security details to protect them here. these entities are now being 'redeployed' against their political enemies, blatantly and with impunity. Some, including some here, will defend the indefensible.
I don't think it's conservatives or conservative thought, specifically. More
dissenting thought. They attack the dissenting left just as vigorously as they do the right, possibly more-so. It is how they have gained power so swiftly, the left
fears the alt-left. They have been having internal power struggles on the left over ideology for the last decade or so. It started taking stronger hold during Obama -- largely because the first 'lady' was and is alt-left. We saw this bleed through regularly in Obama's speeches, but if you go read Obama's post-presidency speeches you'll very clearly see his beliefs don't align with his wife's. He's very left, for sure, but she's hard alt-left.
The Obama presidency gave the alt-left a foothold, but they were still fringe. In the shadows, so to speak. But during Trump's run through 2016 and subsequent presidency, the alt-left flourished. They didn't need to be in the shadows, they came out charging. Anti-Trump rhetoric was popular, and it sold in the media. So mainstream outlets sought out the alt-left to produce news content, rage content. And produce they did. During this period, the alt-left didn't just flourish -- they overtook the establishment left. Overtook them everywhere except actual seats in the House and Senate. But the alt-left has control of the institutions now and they have a strong foothold in the chambers of congress -- more importantly, they've taken control over many parts of the Democrat party.
Many, nay most, do not realize the parties are actual entities and those entities are not bound by law in how they function. There's a reason the demonrats can rig primaries and there's no actual consequence. They could literally anoint anyone they want to run, they do not need your votes. And, in some districts across the country, this is likely already happening. Just recently a district in Las Vegas had decades long staff leave because the alt-left took over:
The battle between insurgent progressives in Nevada and the Harry Reid machine began building in 2016.

I suspect that by 2022 the democrats will no longer have any hope to recover the party. The alt-left has control of the machine that gets them elected. They're funded largely by just a few sources. Basically these freak anti-America billionaires and China. The chinese influence comes largely in the form of advertising and product control. China controls the media through their ad sales department and business partnerships. If your news agency isn't saying the right things -- well, they'll just stop advertising with your company. Does your company advertise on that bad news station? Ohh, we can't manufacture your product here anymore -- that relationship there is problematic. They've been doing this, quietly, for decades -- and it's paid off.
They've been running these ops against the US for decades and we are too dense to even recognize it. Our military is already weakened significantly by this weird partnership the alt-left has with China. They've turned them, establishing institutional religious structures for their ideology in our own military.
So, no -- I don't think conservatives or conservative thought is more dangerous to a liberal. To a liberal, the most dangerous thing is the alt-left. But there's not many liberals left -- most liberals you would now think are conservatives and more likely when you use the term liberal, as though it is to deride another, is really directed at the alt-left.
This is the tactic of the left, to change the meaning of language, and it is 'everyone else' that allows them to do it. Sadly, because I think the average person is just too damn ignorant and too lazy to stay the persistent attacks of the alt-left. We have this pesky desire to live and be left alone, likewise we tend to leave others be -- and it's the latter that allows these leftist freaks to spread like bacterium.
