Why are liberals so incoherent?

There's a formula to understand all liberal values: "Yes... But."

Yes, millions of people can't afford healthcare in this country, but we should use the taxpayer to raise our military spending or to bail out billionaire corporations.

Yes, Neo Cons are racist, pro-war and extremely corrupt, but they're principled conservatives and we respect them.

Yes, we're against white supremacists and fascists, but the Azov guys are awesome.

Yes, we're against racism, but racism against white people doesn't bother me, it shouldn't be even called racism.

Yes, we're in a recession, but it won't affect people's lives.

Yes, inflation is rocketing, but this is the price of our freedom and democracy.

Yes, Israel is a brutal apartheid regime, but they're the only fwee and duhmocwatic country in the Middle East and there's no problem if we give them billions of our taxpayer's money.

Yes, we committed a lot of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Julian Assange should get a life sentence for making it public and demanding accountability for those war crimes.
