There used to be social norms that bonded society together and those who didn’t like them were a minority and kept it to themselves. Today, being in the minority seems to mean you should have even more rights.

My great grandmother talked about WWII and the fact that people plowed up their front yards to plant victory gardens because they wanted everyone to know that they supported the troops. If you didn’t plant a victory garden, you were likely ostracized by your neighbors.

Those societal norms have been re-branded by the use of words that obfuscate their true meaning - people sound like they are talking about the same things as us but they are not and they use words to hide their true meaning i.e. tolerance to the left is believing what they believe it does not mean tolerance as we know it. Most people believe being intolerant is a bad thing so they feel under the weight of the word to be tolerant as it has been redefined.

Clever/evil b#stards some of those lefties.
