Why are leftists so obsessed with taking things from the American people?

[Captain Caveman]

It's always been my contention that a leftist is not a true leftist unless they are making other people miserable. I still hold that stance. Leftists are by nature miserable people and there is no sense being miserable alone I guess.

In light of the gas stove issue, something also crossed my mind: leftists are always trying to take things away from American people.

Leftists want to take our guns, or at least make it near impossible to own one or have the legal authority to use it.
They want to take away our reliable cars and replace them with golf carts that couldn't possibly withstand the limitations of our grid.
They wanted to take away our police until outrage came from their likely constituents, the poor and people of color.
In the past they've tried to take away happy meals at McDonald's for kids.
Moochelle Obama took away tasty food in schools and replaced it with crap no normal kid would eat.
Her husband instituted his healthcare plan that took employer sponsored plans away from millions of American workers.
They made tobacco products so expensive many could not afford them any longer so they took that away as well.
In some Democrat led places they took away our plastic shopoping bags, suggesting we use dirty cloth bags to carry our groceries home in.
They've taken away our historic statues that stood the test of time for generations without problem.
And as I led with, now they floated the idea of taking away our natural gas stoves to cook with.

People on the right have said liberalism is a mental disease. I never subscribed to that, but what else would explain this obsession of taking things away from fellow Americans?

If you would like to add to the list, feel free to do so. These were just off the top of my head.

But that's fundamental to Leftism/Socialism, the people share the misery

I think this is the absolute best break down of what you are asking....Evan Sayet explained perfectly how modern leftists think.........

In my opinion the statist left operate under the influence of the dark side of humanity. So ludicrous has the statist left become in their obsession for power & control over normal folks that their actions have actually backfired on them. More & more Americans are viewing the statist left with suspicion & even contempt. I would not be surprised to see in the near future Americans outright black balling the DNC corporation. In the near future look for the statist left to push their dark agenda to the point of self destruction.

When I see "statist" my red idiot flag goes up. I didn`t know that Glenn Beck was still on the air and still drunk. Thanks!

That`s why everyone is fleeing Denmark and heading for Guatemala. You think? Ever?

Funny that you misused Denmark for your post.........

Is Denmark capitalist? Yes. ​

Denmark is classified as a high-income economy by the World Bank, running on what is loosely termed a developed mixed economy.

That simply means that Danes celebrate free trade and market economics, but also enjoy considerable social safety net benefits.

Here’s a snapshot of some facts about Denmark’s economy that make the case for people trying to establish its capitalist cred:

High gross national income
As of 2017 Denmark ranked 16th in the world in gross national income per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP), a measure economists use to take the prices of specific goods and compare the absolute buying power of each country’s currency.

Economic freedom
According to a measure called the Index of Economic Freedom developed by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation and the famously market-oriented Wall Street Journal, the truth is that Denmark is a free market economy that’s ranked the 8th most free in the world in 2020.

The index’s creators based their system loosely on principles put forth in economic philosopher Adam Smith’s seminal 1776 work “The Wealth of Nations.”

Competitive economy
According to the 2018 Global Competitiveness Report put out by the World Economic Forum, Denmark enjoys the 10th most competitive economy in the world, and the 6th most competitive in Europe.

Even Danes say they’re capitalist
Hell, even the Prime Minister of Denmark was quick to point out that his nation’s system shouldn’t be confused with a traditional planned economy like you see in truly socialist nations.

During the 2015 US presidential primary election when then-candidate Bernie Sanders called Denmark socialist, then-Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen used a speech at Harvard to correct the social democratic US Senator.

Well said. Most of all, they want to take away our rights in several different ways. They tried to use the pandemic to take full control of our lives, claiming they would give us our rights back when the pandemic was over.

we are going to take all 30 million of you red hat mother fuckers, drop you in nevada, then drop 50 nuclear bombs on you dumb mother fuckers. That is how much america hates you. and if you want to get personal, bring it ************. I've got a big surprise for you as far as weapons are concerned.

Nuclear bomb, a Democrat cant even tie their shoes without Oprah telling them how to do it. Democrats are the party of Stupids, Republicans are the party of smarts FACT how many hood rats vote Republican ? ZERO

I have never seen or worked with a Leftist that did not have mental issues and I have never seen a Libtard that was informed on any issue without being emotionally programmed to bias a Billionaire Corporate view.

There are no countries that are 100% socialist dum dum, but Danes "enjoy considerable social safety net benefits". All Danes enjoy universal equal and free healthcare services. They`re rated #1 in the world for quality of life.

They've even gone as far as taking the privacy away from our daughters in school. Took away fair competition in female sports.

Before you get excited over Denmark, you look into their taxes. You think health service is free? Who pays the tax? You buy a new car in the UK, the vat tax is 20%, but in Denmark it's 150%!

I think everyone pays tax, even the poorest. I think employers deduct minimum 8% off wages and sends it to the tax man.

Whenever people compare countries, they should cover the full picture as we never get anywhere cherry picking.

If Denmark is so fantastic, why haven't you emigrated there?

 

[initforme]

Typical nonsense rey "why don't you leave"? If you take every critique of america as offensive you'd go out of your mind in my house.

Moron....the country is run as a capitalist country, which is why they have so much wealth...that, and their national defense is farmed out to the United States......they then take the wealth from their capitalist system, and spend it on social welfare benefits...

Socialism, you clod, is the government running the economy....they do not ******* do that........

If we were more like them, you wouldn't have the government shutting down our energy sector, telling us they are going to force us into EVs and that we are going to use solar and wind no matter how bad they are......

Nobody is touching your Medicare or SS. They may have ideas to try to fix these Ponzi schemes, but it would be political suicide to cut them.

It’s in the works for the short sighted far right bozos in the house. The (you) far right voting Humpers on Medicare and social security have long depended upon liberals to protect their SOCIAL programs. You guys are hilarious.

As they should since we never had a choice whether to participate in them or not. When you tell me you're taking my money with X in return, that's exactly what I expect from a lifetime of work. Medicare and SS are both going broke. This is the results of liberals creating and handling things. It's why we on the right don't want to see any new Democrat social programs; they will meet the same fate.

What has the left taken from you? Tell me.

 

[22lcidw]

What has the left taken from you? Tell me.

One little morsel. Live in a neighborhood bordering poorer or high crime neighborhoods and your auto insurance is red lined in many cases. Paying twice to three times more for it. Caused by the left as poverty is a permanent perpetuity agenda. Only the homes eing cheaper as they are most likely much older keeps the reason to live in these areas.

 

[strollingbones]

how are insurances the issue of the left?
