The left live in hope and the right live in fear.
I have always felt that things can always get better but my right wing friends think that things can only get worse.
Progressive is a positive. If it wasnt we would still be living in caves.
In essence,
Conservatives are authoritarian reactionaries who fear change, dissent, and expressions of individual liberty.
Conservatives work to compel conformity and punish dissent through force of law, with a complete disregard for citizens’ rights and protected liberties.
Conservative dogma seeks to return a country or nation to an idealized past that never actually existed to begin with – a past that was far from ‘ideal.’
Liberals embrace change, encourage dissent, and celebrate diversity and expressions of individual liberty.
Liberals are defenders of the rule of law and seek to safeguard the rights and protected liberties of the people from government excess and overreach.
Liberals correctly understand that there is no going back to the past.
Right...because conservatives are totally the ones pushing political correctness that if you violate, they’re gonna sear a scarlet A on you’re forehead...sounds about right. I mean god forbid black people who exist that don’t hate trump. God forbid you suggest due process should be a thing. And god forbid if you think racism against whites (or anyone for that matter) isn’t okay. Yea, conservatives are totally the ones pushing conformity these days.
The way I see it, the left are the new puritans, with their own religion, and it’s a religion you have to remain stupid to buy into. But don’t go against the dogma, cuz they’ll be coming for you. Like seriously...an astronaut just got reamed out by the left for quoting Winston Churchill...you read that right, he quoted Winston Churchill, and that was apparently an evil act he needed to repent for. This is the type of shit that reminds of the Christians who said Harry Potter was bad, because of witchcraft. Churchill fought the ******* Nazis, and has a shit ton of great quotes, but apparently he’s unredemable, for whatever reason, Ghandi was racist as ****, I’m still waiting for the left to go after him. But yet, eugenics (the most extreme form of racism) is all good for the left, that they can ignore and offer up a blind eye. When is the left gonna wise up and realize they over played their hand? Like ******* Trump is the president, the guy with the highest unfavorability rating ever in the history of that stat line being measured...yea that guy got elected, and he won states that should not have even been in the mix, like Wisconsin and PA...wake up left, y’all have become the new puritans, and no one thinks that shit is cute
