The Woke Left here will hate this but it’s totally true.

Found this on Facebook. It’s dead on, 100% correct.

Just shows you how fricked up the Woke Left mind is. They truly are a scourge on humanity.

They are the sole reason things in the world are fricked up.

The ‘If’ section of this is so accurate it’s frightening.

“ A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the conservative side of the fence."

If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him..

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative reads this, he'll post it. A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."

My Free Enterprise teacher in High School did this for the final exam. Right after the chapter on socialism. Made the point well.

Substituting grades for taxes is a point thats been made thousands of times.

This reads like a senior email chain.

If I had a 4.0 and a good enough friend who made a 2.0, I might gladly give 1 point from mine lol… 3.0 is still pretty good

A lot of you would do it to keep a star athlete eligible

Theyve ignored this storyline for a while now. They don't care cause the media isn't worth a lick on properly informing their viewers.

We all might want to help a star athlete or someone facing medical issues, but her friend was making her own choices.

This is why equal opportunity is the most we should strive for and equal outcomes is a pipe dream. Should we expect Kamala’s sister to become vice president.

I chose to not take out student loans. People close to me that did had money to live a better lifestyle than I could afford. Each of us made our choice. Why should I pay for them.

A safety net is for uncontrollable instances, not a lifestyle choice. The government doesn’t do anything well. Die Hard gave us the line” it took the government three days to get water to the Superdome “”

Problem is there are now more Audrey's in this country than the Unnamed Daughters.

I'd take that deal right now. Hard to imagine she's worse.

So far we have three down votes. Meaning there are three people so far that have fricked up DNA and suffer from a serious mental illness. I actually thought there would be more. Surely there are more deranged hopeless souls out there.

Serious Question: Is this the first time you have seen this? Because it has been floating around the Internet since the first two PCs were connected via a phone line and a 24.4 modem. I suspect it was a snail-mail chain letter long before that.

That is a perfect example to use. Younger generation doesn’t understand how life works until it hits them in the face with a sledgehammer.

Those clowns avoid threads like these for a reason. They choose not to get personally blasted.

I don't up/down vote. Only insecure people and idiots care about them.

If laughing at boomer posting stupidity is now considered "being triggered', then color my hair blue.

That’s one of the silliest, inconsequential anecdotes ever, even if it’s true(doubtful). Nice try, though.

I had a similar conversation with a lib niece of mine some 15 years ago. While she still has lib thoughts she’s come a long way since then

Funny thing but grade sharing actually IS a thing and has been for 50+ years at least.

My Uncle Junior (literally named Junior on his bc) was the starting pitcher at LaTech in the 50’s when Dad and Mom went there too (and a couple other siblings of Dad, remember he was 1/10 siblings).

Anyway, Uncle Junior ended up somehow getting the same calculus class as Dad the Civil Engineering student. Uncle Junior was a forestry and ag major. At the end of the semester Uncle Junior had a D and Dad his usual A. Unbeknownst to Dad Uncle Junior went to the professor and somehow convinced him to average their grades due to them being in-laws. Dad had no idea until he got a B for his final grade and Uncle Junior kept his eligibility (drafted to the majors before they paid big so he decided to work for the wildlife and fisheries department ended up in Ga and developed commercial strains of peanuts.)

The only non A Dad ever had on his college transcript was courtesy of Uncle Junior. He even got an A when he went back to a couple of classes on economics and marketing when he was 50+ and needed to know the material for the job he was promoted to.
