RE: Raging Crybullies - Cognitive Dissonance in the Age of Trump
Thank you @ddrfr33k for re-steeming this post! I would likely not have seen it otherwise. I am a big fan of Trump. No, I don't agree with everything he does and I don't like the way he talks sometimes. BUT I am in agreement that results speak for themselves. He campaigned on a ton of things and to this point he is working his way down the list checking them off as he goes. I can't recall ANY politician in my lifetime that has every done this and it is what all politicians should strive to do. It is interesting to get the take of someone without a real dog in the fight (non-eligible voter). It takes out most of the emotion and allows for true reflection of what is really being accomplished.
Re-Steemed as well!
Ain't that the truth...Politics is such a touchy subject nowadays. We don't talk about our differences, and treat "the opposition" as someone to be hunted down and eradicated.
I feel like a liberal sometimes. They are supposed to be the accepting, open minded ones. Yet, most of my liberal friends have de-friended me and want nothing to do with me anymore. It's so sad actually. Having a difference of opinion shouldn't lead to such great divide. Unfortunately that is what has happened to the left in America.
I know that feel, bro...
The left is no longer liberal in the Classical Liberal sense. They are regressive neo-Marxists.
Chances are, you haven't really changed your views that much, just the left has become more strident and radical.
I have never been on the left. I have an incredible right-wing voting history :) I was making the point that the left used to be considered the party of acceptance and tolerance. I feel I am very accepting and tolerant yet my left leaning friends wont even associate with me because I am not in lock step with their view of the world/politics.
Leftists are driving people to the right by the millions...
@roundoar03 - Yes I agree - Trump is doing his best to keep his campaign promises, in spite of opposition. We need someone like him in Canada, before Trudeau destroys us.
Thanks for the feedback and resteem!
I like Trudeau. He wants to be viewed as virtuous by making statements like "we welcome refugees and immigrants (illegal btw) that the US doesn't want. Please, by all mean, they are all yours.
Ummm...thanks but no thanks?
