Totalizing nature of left-liberal ideology

Looks like American ideological irrationality wins out!
Above all, this has demonstrated the absolutely “totalizing” nature of liberal ideology.
For liberals, no geopolitical/strategic considerations of national interests, no economic profit, no moral principles will ever outweigh ideological goals — if anything, those are all just means towards that end.
These are a people who deliberately delayed the release of COVID vaccines, killing millions of people globally, to prevent Trump from getting re-elected, then bragged about it on Twitter.
You think some “strategic partnership against China” would tempt them away from their ideological goals?
Worse, some people on here think we can win the liberals’ affections by appealing to their apparent desires — by crying that we’re really decolonizing! — our religion is really feminist and environmentalist! — Modi isn’t a fascist, India is a vibrant democracy! — why do you support Islamists, they won’t be liberal like us!!
… but those are just the impotent cries of a man who tried and failed to win a woman’s affections by moulding himself into exactly what she said she wanted.
To give them anything they want is to betray yourself for nothing. The only correct strategy in dealing with them is that taken by the Gulf states, or by Singapore: be absolutely uncompromising on any attempt of their “civil society” groups to affect your society, delete their assets whenever necessary and say “hey, if you still want to be our friends, sure!”
