My wife and I had our daughter's birthday party Saturday. Lo and behold, our 20 something entitled liberal nephew showed up out of the blue.
He's been thrown out before, but we figured he might behave this time due to it being a child's party.
Nope. He had so little self control that, not 15 minutes after he arrived, he goes on a completely unprovoked tirade against Trump and all of his family being vile racists. Completely full of profanity and in front of my 11 year old daughter. I, being in the kitchen doing something, only heard him when he began shouting really loudly. I knew shit had hit the fan when he started yelling expletives at my wife.
By the time I got into the room my wife and daughter had retreated into the bedroom to get away from the maniac. He was in full rage mode. I grabbed the pinata stick ( a sawed off broomstick) and whacked the SOB. I then picked him up to his feet and shoved him out the door. His mom, who is wholly to blame for raising the bastard that way, grabs all the gifts the two of them brought and left with the son.
Sorry, I just needed to vent. I've been fuming all weekend. How do these grown children expect us to take them seriously if they act like this? I'm supposed to be okay with people like this ruling out country? They can't not ruin a child's birthday party, let alone run a country.
It's no sense of common decency.
It's also an inability to accept that people are allowed to see the world differently than you, and to even exist next to you while seeing the world differently.
Leftists of today are truly authoritarian and vile in that way.
Wanna know a secret?
They are not leftists. They are right wing.
WE are the left, anti-authoritarian, peaceful progressives who treat people equally.
It's another thing like the party switch.
Nah. I'm pretty sure I'm right wing.
And there was no "party switch" , that's horseshit. The Democrats have always been racist. The only thing they did was change their propaganda in the 60's.
Here's a quote from LBJ, right when the parties "switched".
"“These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again."
The Democrats realized they couldn't stop the civil rights movement, so they decided to pander to them instead, and use house negroes to spread the message. They gave them all sorts of free shit for being black, and kept them on the voting plantation.
The whole country was Republican until the blacks with their newfound Democrat masters used that "political pull" to start flipping states. Then came the 24/7 white guilt in the 90's,the communism (which flipped the northeast), and the mass immigration to displace white people, which flipped CA and Southwest.
It's semantics really: important but airy and shifty. The right v left thing is US-constitutionalist v marxist, practically. The confusion is that "liberality" means generosity: of personal freedoms when you speak of what constitutes the US, of inter-group equity when you speak of what constitutes the progressives. So it gets gummed up, because we're ALL liberal -- of something.
Right - has constitutional focus - is liberal (classical) - maximizes individual freedom - is permissive / egalitarian / representative / libertarian - The People embrace some form of republicanism ... their liberality is of imperfect representation and dangerous opportunity.
Left - is ideologically marxist - is liberal (progressive) - maximizes group equity - is hierarchical / forceful / aristocratic / tyrannical - The Group follows the noble leadership ... their liberality is of good feelz and bad outcomes.
The real divide, is over whether to apply force to accomplish ends. There's NEVER been a switch on that. The Right has always been pragmatic: what works to protect individual liberty, from all else. The Left has always been dogmatic: what advances the party as a collective, and its leader(s).
Wow, that's trippy.
