The last lesson is that it doesn’t take much to expose the lie and flip the script. That is why progressives engage in the politics of character assassination. They can’t win based on the merits of their arguments, so they engage in vicious, emotional, manipulative tactics. That’s why conservatives and Christians can’t just be wrong on the issues; we have to be “homophobes.” We can’t just have a difference of opinion, we have to be guilty of “spreading hate.”
