Our approach is simple to summarize and is built upon the ideas of generations of progressives from Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Barack Obama: everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does his or her fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules . As progressives, we believe that everyone deserves a fair shot at a decent, fulfilling, and economically secure life. We believe that everyone should do his or her fair share to build this life through education and hard work and through active participation in public life. And we believe that everyone should play by the same set of rules with no special privileges for the well-connected or wealthy.
They can’t see the themselves in the mirror. It’s the same type of narcissism that leads them to believe that their opinion is superior and that they are above everyone else. Narcissists cannot see themselves in the mirror, as it would lead to the revelation that they are not better than anyone else. It would expose their false selves as a sham. So for this reason, and the reason that they think in terms of black-and-white, leads them to great lengths of hypocrisy. It’s sad to see, but I’m quickly losing empathy for them, since most are becoming incredibly hateful.
It’s as if they think that legislating and regulating everything will be a solution. Liberals used to be free-thinking individualists, and now, they are just the opposite.
I watched them all have opinions and fantasies about “what Iraqis and Afghanis want” for years having never even met one. Oh, the expert opinions there.
Mostly every liberal in Jersey follows the assault style weapon ban and 10 Round mag law. Plenty of gun control laws and they rarely get violated except for the occasional stop over in Newark. but I can bring guns into Texas. Who runs afoul of our strict gun laws.
It is vastly different to enforce a law I don’t like because it could make people feel bad than it is to enforce a law I do like. (Paraphrased from multiple posts in the thread on ICE)
It seems to me there is a pathological need to convince people that so and so is racist, Nazi, whatever. Just the worst characterizations possible at a personal level.
And the reason is to drown out the voice of dissent. To convince people the voice isn’t worth listening to.
I’ll admit, it’s kind of been a nice break from the “rUsSiA RuSsIa rUsSiA” but unfortunately, it’s also back to the same lame nazis under their beds routine again.
