You definitely have a point. I will modify my submission here. Generally, it is the younger people and the low-information types who can't move past their feelings. But you are correct in what you point out. I live in an 80% blue college city. These people are absolutely certain they are correct about everything and the local media, government, and university continue to tell them, in an iron clad loop, that they are smarter than anyone else and they are superior in almost every way. No one is as compassionate as they are. Everyone outside of their leftist view -and I mean everyone- is to either be pitied or bullied into submission because they simply cannot be wrong and there are no other possibilities. If you do not agree with them then there is something wrong with you. No other possibility. I see this every day.
These are exactly the sorts of arrogant, entitled attitudes I’ve encountered from true-believing leftists, even from some who insist they are “open minded,” “tolerant,” “for the little people,” and even “moderate.” The distorted image they have of themselves is actually disturbing.
