"they, like me, understand the value of free expression and free speech and resistance to the authoritative nanny state." Eh, not so much, at least in terms of the party system of North America. They stand for money (slightly more so than their opponents) and a certain sort of Christianity. The anti-government stance is incidental, and due largely to the fact that the President isn't one of them. Get the left vs. right shit out of your head, and you'll have an easier time (except when it comes to voting, because then you'll be shit outta luck).
My part, I don't give a good goddamn if other "leftish" people aren't all there. You don't need a chorus to use your brain - it's not my fault that they don't know even half of what they're talking about. 'Sides, they're very far from being in control as yet, and if they ever do gain serious influence, the backlash will make the anti-Tea Party stuff seem like nothing. We're talking Reagan's Reign times a million. Hell, the wind's already turning against them: publicity kills this kind of bullshit, because it can't survive without an insulated echo chamber. The faked college rape cases, the transracial spokespeople, the refusal to disavow violent rhetoric, all that stuff - this kills the SJW. Radical feminists back in the day tried to ban porn and advocated putting all men in breeding pens. Now, porn is more popular than ever, and breeding pens are almost never seen.
