Then there is the scaremongering which invariably involves drawing parallels with the Nazi party winning elections in Germany. This is the standard, if also dumbed down, reference point to demonise the object of liberals’ hate. Of course the so-called liberals have never really been able to explain what makes the Left so right and the Right so wrong, especially since Leftist icons like Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong were responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, and yet the ideology they espoused is seen as progressive. It is also another matter that none of the doomsday predictions of the liberals ever come true, while all their fanciful notions about how the world functions inevitably crash on the rocks of reality. Even so, this fear-mongering and demonisation of their opponents by the liberals is relentless. The positions that both Modi and Trump took to further the interests of their own people and country on issues ranging from illegal migration to foreign policy were disparaged as xenophobic, communal, isolationist and nationalist – the last being a four letter word in liberal lexicon, which strangely enough, when thrown back at liberals by calling them anti-national, results in the usual litany of complaints of how there are being unfairly labelled.
