yeah, it's that "Democracy Is the Worst Form of Government Except For All Others Which Have Been Tried"

Nihilistic Violent Extremist's, one could say (if one was the Trump admin).

Yeah, Liberalism isn't perfect, it's the "best of all possible worlds." which means we shouldn't challenge it because it will only make things worse. They usually love to quote Churchill on this, because liberals love their great man theory and think that influential people were just all soundbite generators.

that's what I mean by heaven, I just mean the afterlife that they desire. I don't mean a literal perfect world, but a liberal 'least bad' world. you're right that they're nihilistic, and when pressed hard enough will abandon liberal niceties before they abandon property or position. Still, they think that they are at the end of history. That the apocalypse already came and went, and they were the god chosen victors of it (colonialism and the ongoing horrors of industrialization).
