Is that a trick question?

Republicans need to recognize an important fact: Liberalism is not driven by any real political philosophy but by resentment, bitterness, and anger toward mainstream society. Conservatives keep trying to patiently and politely point out where Democrat candidates are factually and logically wrong.
That cannot work because liberalism is not about facts or logic. You can't explain the Democrat Party (which liberals took over starting in 1968). What is happening to our country is not about issues. (But, a clarification: I am focusing here on liberal activists and leaders. Many ordinary individuals are just caught up in their rhetoric.)
The Left irritates society with ever-more loony ideas. Conservatives think they can reason with liberals. But crazy is their goal, because liberals are trying to annoy people on purpose. Upsetting the mainstream is a way of expressing anger and bitterness. So reasoning with liberals is exactly what they don't want. They want to make you upset. Conservatives are trying to argue logic to a teenage boy who is bitter and angry at his parents. Liberalism is like a teenage girl who really wants to annoy her parents by dating a 30 year old covered in tattoos from a biker gang. Liberal "complaints" are actually proxies substituting for other issues.
