Trust me, the Left will not let you coexist peacefully next to them.
***************
I get what you’re saying but the key to neutralizing the Left is to push back HARD. They are ideological bullies who have gotten away with intimidating anyone who disagrees with them.
The response should be to fight back and never give them an inch. Bullies are fundamentally cowards; they will always back off when you stand your ground and strike back.
You are right about pushing back HARD, but they are more than bullies.
They are stalkers.
They are the guy (or gal) who you are going to be with whether you want to or not, because they know what’s best for you way more than you do, and if you deny them too long, if you make them crazy and force them to take action, it usually ends very, very badly.
In the end, there is only one way to deal with such people.
