The idealism of leftists fails because they don’t realize that most people DON’T want to live in their utopia. I will never give up my SUV. I like my air conditioning. Hamburger and steak taste gooooood. I work hard because I want to support myself and my family and I want to live in comfort. I will never work hard to support some toadstool who injects recreational drugs all day, doesn’t bathe, and who thinks he is entitled to the fruits of my labor because he has a flawed epiphany where others support him.
You’re right. I used to be in their ranks, I guess I’m a Reagan Democrat who never went back the the democrat party after learning to reason. I still travel in liberal circles and these folks DON’T KNOW anybody who disagrees with their utopian dream. Against all logic, they simply assume we all want what they want. The tension between the 2 Americas (left vs right) is getting tighter, something’s gonna snap.
