I will say, life was much better in The County before the idiots in the Pentagon shut Loring down.
I live in the “progressive” Western half of Oregon.. where the California liberals have turned the Willamette Valley into a Liberal fiefdom.
I myself am from Eastern Oregon which is primarily a conservative area..and the arrogance of the “tolerant progressives” drive me nuts because they are not tolerant of anything but the liberal view of things...
The abuse you describe happens because liberals are unconcious. In psychology the correct term for their behavior is “Projection”. They take the worst elements of themselves and project, or cast it, onto others. They do this as a defense mechanism and they are totally unaware of it. Most young people go through a stage like this and outgrow it, but many don’t. It’s the root of the victim mentality we see so much on the left. They think everyone is a victim because they think THEY are a victim. Its why they call conservatives ‘fascists’ and yet would happily implement a draconian Nanny State.
These people are petty, destructive and dangerous... especially when they organize. I try to ignore them but be aware that you are NOT dealing with concious, rational people.
