the majority of the leftists you know started off as liberals. writing them off as your enemy when they could be won over is not a very strategic way of building solidarity. the conservatives, on the other hand, are likely well on their way to supporting fascism as it is currently manifesting itself. it's important to identify these distinctions. If the only appeal to leftism for you is the ability it provides you to hate liberals, then you need to reexamine what brought you to the left to begin with.
My point wasn't that they're all completely unreachable, but rather that liberals have much more in common with conservatives than they would ever care to admit.
Conservatives are just liberals after the mask comes off.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
