“but at the most fundamental level, liberal outrage is all about shutting up everyone who doesn’t agree with liberals.”

Precisely; they’re determined to set the agenda, and commandeer our language to squelch opposing views.

It’s like “bipartisan”. Really means both parties agree with the Democrats.

Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure, mental disease that destroys everything it touches....EVERYTHING. It will eventually destroy the entire world.
It is the BORG of this century.

Yes, the Borg can determine where they live, what they eat, etc. - but only as long as they sustain the Borg in its quest to consume everything else.

Here are some of the mainstream media headlines about that diplomatic triumph.

Donald Trump could cure cancer and the New York Times would complain that he put oncologists out of work.

To summarize, being outraged gives them power over others.

And they crave power in all forms.

The best description of Liberals was the old line “Nattering Nabobs of Negativism”.

Right. Leftist power is dependent upon our being willing to try to placate their upset. Their nightmare would be us getting fed up and not caring.

This is why they hate and fear Trump so much. He laughs at their outrage. He mocks them. Mocking drives them nuts.

Trump returned many issues to the public discourse that the left had shut down; illegal immigration for example had become practically enshrined in law (imagine that), and now the costs and crimes associated with it are openly discussed again. He is the voice of many millions of Americans that weren’t “forgotten” - THEY WERE IGNORED!

Libs/proggies are about victimhood, and getting the special, hands-off, pitying treatment that social victims get, imo.

They saw blacks getting it. Then women. Then queers. Then illegal immigrants. Now, all want it, for whayever reason.

They sure do. Our mission must be to deny them that power

The Borg were eventually defeated as will by the leftists who tirelessly work to destroy all that’s good and decent.

Suppose someone said, “Obama can claim that he’s white, now that he’s been POTUS.”

A good start would be to cut off their oxygen.

The LEFT MEDIA CARTEL is the oxygen to their fire.

Cut your cable tv to cut off their oxygen.

The Federation seemed to be somewhat oppressive as well, at least in TNG and beyond.

“Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease.....”

It’s also known as severe, untreatable, cosmic psychosis,
Pol Pot-Josef Stalin type.

Imho
