One thing I will say is a lot of the stuff that characterizes the "left-liberal" zeitgeist doesn't characterize those who post here sympathetic to other things considered left or liberal.

I tend to think not seeing that is a real problem everybody (everybody) has. Example: many (most?) teachers do not support social justice barbarian tactics in the schools, but if those people don't identify has conservative, they are typically lumped in as agreeing with the social justice barbarians.
