politics for Liberals is a personal quest for absolution. It’s a moral epic where they are the main character, and the primary goal is to alleviate their own guilt and “sin”.
They do not have the view of politics as a collective project towards material improvements, of wresting power away from those who oppose our interests.

Therein the arguments against socialist states. Every death under socialism is a failure of the government, because it dared to try to solve problems collectively. Under capitalism, deaths are due to the individual’s failures, and therefore no one’s responsibility. Therein the ability to justify angrily and self-righteously calling for a “return to normal” in the face of mass death and disablement.
I fucking hate the word ‘journey’ now. Why do obnoxious liberal douchbags need everything to be a ‘journey’? Main character syndrome?
