LINK

This editorial was interesting. It sums up how off putting “liberal” SJW social commentary and policy can be.

I felt a little better about the state of affairs and political discourse. Then I read the comments. Whereupon a bunch of leftists engaged in the exact same behavior that the article discussed.

Liberals definitely own “smugness”, especially when it comes to being “educated”

Sorry. Minor technical difficulties apparently cause a really awful reaction. Enjoy the link.

Now that the secrets out, I guess we can expect common sense approaches from the left on all issues going forward.

People have tried to tell liberals this since Nov 2016. Many LIBERALS have tried to tell other liberals this.

Alas, the left's crazies outnumber the sane ones and they were shouted down or ended up just becoming the enemy themselves too.

Comment section basically validated everything the writer said.

And, also basically proved the writer is pissing up a rope. They're going to ride off the cliff no matter how much you point to the cliff.

Got to love the fact the comments to the article only reinforces the correctness of the article on just how delusional the left truly is....

Jorge from NOLA was like a moth to the flame

Tell me, as a gay Hispanic male of color why should I be respectful of homophobic, fascist, racist, classist views that this president embodies and promotes? If you vote for a person that represents those ideas you are okay with those ideas. Or at least they don’t bother you so much because they don’t affect you. We do not need to be polite to Trump supporters or even Trump voters. In fact, I think we should be like Michelle Wolf. If they are embarrassed it’s because deep inside they know that their ideals are wrong. If they vote out of spite it means that they hate people like me, that they hate women, and anyone who is not a white straight male. Or at the very least, they do not care about what happens to anyone who is not part of the majority in power. So no, I will not be “nice”. I for one am super tired of conservatives telling me how to feel about my oppression.

I didn't read the comment section but the article was on point

Donald Trump is president precisely because of the far left getting too much of a voice

The comment section basically makes the writer look like he engaged in tremendous understatement.

As a group, they're by far the most head in sand ideological sect. It's absolutely amazing how the left went from counter culture to damn near authoritarian in 40 years.

This once was fringe. Now it's mainstream.

It's shocking.
