My perception has been that conservatives tend to lump everyone they disagree with as left-wing, regardless of whether they are Democrats, socialists, or communists. Even independents are sometimes lumped into "our" camp on some issues. Each of us believe in different paths to a liberal society (that is, one characterized by rational thought and a power based derived from the population rather than elites/rules), but that doesn't mean you should aggregate us into one composite whole and conclude that our lack of cohesion is a flaw or impediment. We
aren't a group opposite your beliefs--we each belong to distinct ideological groups in their own right.
