More than a decade ago, many Democrats still in office now went along with Gorsuch as he was unanimously confirmed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in July 2006. Things are different today, ahead of his hearing for the highest court in the land.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., expressed deep doubts during a press conference last Wednesday about the nominee and asserted Gorsuch "may act like a neutral, calm judge," but "his record and his career clearly show he harbors a right wing, pro-corporate, special interest agenda."
[...] Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy said he would demand "real answers" to questions he has about Gorsuch's judicial philosophy.
"I hope next week, when the president's Supreme Court nominee will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he provides transparent, truthful answers to Senators' questions," Leahy said in a statement. "I will insist on real answers from Judge Neil Gorsuch, because there are real concerns about his record and his judicial philosophy."

They want to keep the country pure. You see nothing wrong with trashing it, bringing in rape culture from uncivilized cultures.
The right thing would be for you to realize that conservatives have no where else to go. They are stuck here, defending this place, because they detest much of the rest of the world. You aren't stuck. You love places like Mali and Eritrea, greatly valuing the cultural enrichment... so you should go there. That will make you happy, and the conservatives will be happy too. You experience a culture other than the American one you hate, and the conservatives will be able to preserve their culture. You like preserving cultures too, so that's an extra win.

You don't seem to know who you're talking to. I'm the one who gets shit from some weird anonymous stalker for supposed Islamophobia when I rightly point out that a hell of a lot of these people are uncivilized by any reasonable metric. You know, the one who gets yelled at for pointing out how completely bewildering it is that so much of the left seems to give Islam a free pass when it's basically the antimatter opposite of what they say they believe?
There are some good things about American culture, though from what I've read I'd do better in Canada or one of the Nordic countries, possibly Japan or South Korea, maybe Costa Rica, but definitely not anywhere in the Middle East. Sorry, but if you think you've got me pegged, you're deluded. It is possible to point out the sins of one side without being an opposite-natured parody of it.
