I don't necessarily have an opinion whether you are a nice person, you may be. Treating people kindly and with compassion is hardly exclusive to any political ideology. Wouldn't you agree? No? Neither is improving as we learn more. Pardon, but that is ridiculous in context. In fact it insinuates a contrary opinion of 50% of your fellow countrymen, and it says nothing about liberal policy, does not address absolute loathsome support for the worst humanity has to offer. I can't think of a better word to describe it than in some instances pure evil.
For instance, liberals appear hell bent on pairing up transvestites with young children, toddlers. Transvestite story hour in schools and such. There is a video out there of what appears to be a 3-4 year old girl rubbing the pubic area of a man dressed as a woman, on a stage. Nobody intervened and allowed it to happen, including the transvestite. Apparently, to the liberal mindset, it would have been a greater sin to offend the transvestite than to stop a young child from stroking ANY adults dick....in public, on a stage, with I would assume the child's own parents in attendance.
Treating people kindly and with compassion? See, there's often the difference. There is a difference between shrugging your shoulders in tolerance at a man who chooses to for reasons to include mental illness dress as a woman, and celebrating it, condemning others who do not as lacking compassion, and offering up your own children as a demonstration of greater virtue. It is a sick thing going on, batshit crazy.
You say you are a liberal. Do you support it?
Of course I don't support that. Who would? If
that's "left" - and you seem to want to identify it as the mainstream left, which is complete nonsense (I know tons of liberals, and
no one I know would be ok with a 4 year-old touching a grown man's penis) - then what's "right?" There are plenty of instances of disgusting behavior on both sides of the fence. Do I need to link to some disgusting videos from Westboro Baptist ... or some fine Republican congressmen that are convicted pedophiles?
If you want to list the worst example on one side and imply that it's representative of a collective belief system, then you have to compare it to the worst example on the other side as well. There are plenty of murderers, pedophiles, etc. on the right as well. Those people are just as batshit insane as a person on the left who defends that situation you described.
And I didn't say that anything I said belonged to only one political ideology. I was just answering your question.
You also said this:
"does not address absolute loathsome support for the worst humanity has to offer."
Funny, but I could say the same about Trump. He is, IMHO, just about the worst humanity has to offer. I mean, granted, he's not a murderer, but he's just about everything we teach our children not to be. And I'm not even talking about the "woke" teachings these days; I'm talking about the way I was brought up (I'm 50, BTW). Among other things, he is demonstrably (in no particular order):
A chronic, pathological liar. (Lying is hardly noteworthy for a politician, but I think most can agree that he takes it to a new level.)
Completely immodest.
As thin-skinned as it gets
Misogynistic
A total narcissist
Rude
A sore loser
A bully
An adulterer
Two-faced
A gaslighter
I could go on.
If you want to think of me as a jerk and a hypocrite because I said I'm a liberal, go on. Since I don't know you from Adam (nor you me), it's no sweat off my back.
Edit: I honestly believe that we're all not as different as the Haves would like us to believe. They intentionally frame issues divisively because they've learned that it's easier to get elected when you keep people feverishly divided. I bet if I met you in real life, we would probably end up friends, because we probably wouldn't be discussing these kinds of things.
I don't know if it's a vestige of the chat room days, when everyone had the anonymity of a "handle" to shield them, but people seem to really show their ass online .. much more than they do in person. Pair that with 24-hour "news" channels that simply act as echo chambers to rile up one side's base, and you have the perfect storm for sowing division.
I bet the Haves are just laughing all the f*cking way to the bank at this point.
