Liberals love to talk about being on the wrong side/right side of history. It comes up all the time. Indeed, California Gov. Newsome used the phrase to discuss car makers who opposed its attempt to legislate them the other day... why, they're on the wrong side of history harrumph! Liberals love to say this. But let me point out a few things.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when they endorsed eugenics.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when they declared that overpopulation would lead to starvation.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their politicians interned Japanese citizens.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their magazines declared Hitler man of the year.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their justices declared separate but equal.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when they worked for Stalin.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their governors imposed Jim Crow.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their hippie legions smeared drafted American soldiers.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their leaders invaded Cuba and sent armies to Vietnam.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when they declared that we would run out of oil.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when they declared that industrialization would create a new ice age.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their politicians blacklisted Hollywood communists.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when they proclaimed that the Soviet Union would never be defeated.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when they defended slavery.
Liberals were on the wrong side of history when their leaders dropped the atomic bomb.
Liberals will also prove to be on the wrong side of history when it comes to creating yet another race-based ideology and a gender-based ideology, and standing in the way of technology and science they don't like, stifling free speech to protect their delicate sensibilities and impose ideological unity, seizing the medical system, and supporting religions that would happily throw their members off buildings.

BTW, the polls are looking bad for the Democrats on impeachment. The percentage of independents opposed to impeachment is up 10% in the past two weeks. That's what happens when the only witnesses you have are biased and are all just speculating.
That said, Louisiana's election suggests a disaster coming for the GOP.
I don't think that we had much choice but to drop the atomic bomb, given a totality of circumstances. Otherwise, I'm with you.
LL, I agree with you... but the left views it as a war crime, so let's point out that it was their President who built it, it was another of their Presidents who dropped it (twice).
Just like Obama expanded drone use and kept Gitmo open, they want to claim these things are crimes and yet they ignore the fact it was their own side doing it.
I don't think Louisiana is any bellweather for the coming National Elections. The Democrats in Louisiana have a very well built vote fraud scheme. They have been doing it for decades. If the Democrats are able to do that all across the US in 2020 then, yes, we are in trouble. That trouble will resolve in a civil war.
"The Right Side of History" is great evidence for a lot of peculiarities about liberal thinking.
❄ First, it's a future-facing concept, which is the opposite of actual history. Liberals see everything backwards.
❄ Second, as Andrew so deftly points out, to fit themselves into that view, liberals have to ignore past history.
❄ Third, it has religious overtones. No matter how hard you try to stamp it out, people will always find a god to worship.
❄ Fourth, it shows that liberals care primarily about being liked. Conservatives also hopes to be appreciated for their legacy, but they rarely approach issues as a popularity contest across time.
❄ Fifth, liberals are just plain deluded if they think their descendants won't someday adopt values that look down upon them just as they currently look down on their forebears.

As for Louisiana, Election Day is almost all of a year out. Democrats have a decision to make. The longer they drag out impeachment, the better things get for Trump. However, there's virtually no chance the Senate will remove him, which would be better yet for Trump. "First president to survive impeachment and go on to win reelection" is a phrase we might all be using very soon.
Just to put the whole Louisiana election in perspective. Louisiana has had only 2 Republican Govs since 1876. Louisiana is the only real Democrat holdout from the "Old South". However, they are as much Democrats in the South as the Republicans in the Northeast...in name only.
1. *Shrugs* 'Wrong side of history' doesn't mean much without a time machine. Anyone who makes a habit of predicting the future is going to be wrong at least half the time.
2. In the US there are at least as many political factions/philosophies as there are anywhere in the world but everything is crammed into two parties. Apparently liberals fought against communists and supported communists at the same time. Along those lines, standards (and political factions) shift over time. Upon its founding the NRA was a hunting club that not only supported gun control, but often proposed gun control.
3. I think the complaints about the current level of freedom of speech are strange. People have way more freedom of speech now than at any time in history. The problem is so many people treat the internet like a diary or a friend, so views (and pictures) that were once private are now often public. Of course that has consequences. Nowadays the government won't come after you if you flip off the president's motorcade or talk about how a real school shootings has never happened and they are all hoaxes created to make guns look bad or public protest some perceived government wrongdoing. However other private entities might use their freedom of speech to protest you and your employer might exercise their freedom to fire you.
