Modern day democrats are no longer classical liberals, they are largely heartless, evil Marxists.
I refuse to interact in any way with evil, heartless Marxists.

I hade a eureka moment. Actually, I had two. I work around a lot of liberals. Something I realized as I irritably worked around them was that they really care only about themselves, mostly. I began to think that this is the defining characteristic of liberals, that they lack empathy. It explains why they are so miserable and why they make others around them miserable. You have to lack empathy to kill babies, for instance. There can be no argument about that. You see the callousness in Mueller’s eyes, as well practically any liberal politician’s. You have to lack empathy to want to take away people’s rights as a well. But this explanation wasn’t satisfying to me because I look for the root cause of liberalism and I realized that this wasn’t it. My realization was that this callousness was a devastating symptom but wasn’t the cause of liberals’ motivation to inflict harm.
Then I had my other eureka moment and it gave me great relief as liberalism is an ever present irritant and threat to nearly everything important in life, imho. I realized that this callouness to do such great damage to people and society is rooted in selfishness. I think we have all seen or read about a selfish liberal. The lady from Planned Parenthood selling baby parts for the money to buy a sports car comes to mind. But selfishness isn’t really the core cause of a liberal’s callousness.
Then I finally got it. It is FEAR that motivates them to do terrible acts. Fear makes a liberal selfish and then callous like people trampling each other to get to safety from danger. Liberals reek of fear, whether it’s the fear of failure or the fear of the unknown like being able to take care of a child or engage in a committed relationship. Fear makes liberals want to hold onto power for dear life. Fear makes liberals want to ban guns because they worry they might get shot even if the chances of that happening are extremely unlikely. Fear motivates them to dream up new social programs for themselves because they fear they can’t cut it in the real world. Fear can lead to violence and we’ve seen that from liberals over and over again. Liberal fear causes so much misery.
Liberals should take advice from their icon, FDR: you have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Liberal vs conservative=Self centeredness vs maturity.
One of the best decisions i made in last couple year was to disconnect from facebook, the poisonous hate from old friends who had turned hard left was sickening to hear and made me down. So much better off to be without that distressing noise
Something that I understand now is that liberal’s fear makes it an uphill battle when trying to reason with them or when opposing them. Their fear makes them say and do such off-the-wall and nasty things.
I might take the same step about FB after my next class reunion this September. I want to stay informed about that and may find little use for it after that. It is an effective way to keep a group informed when organizing an event so that function will be hard to replace.

Some libs stupid some evil most both. At the center is pubs want gov power and hate freedom and free markets. Libs never enjoy talking with me.
I libs don’t enjoy talking to you then I’m certain that I would enjoy your company!
One thing you didnt really mention enough is that they like to think of themselves as better. They think they are smarter but they confuse knowlege with wisdom. They think that they are better hearted but they confuse soft headedness with actually caring -caring often means being tough. They fight amongst themselves about who can be the post politically correct and miss that pc does not equal true respect which is earned.
Liberalism is a disease that infects the mind and voids the host of all rational thought.
Study narcissism. Narcissists lack empathy. It’s the big tell. Click my name.
It’s the internet and we don’t have to let leftists hijack the language we use. They are not liberals as they flatteringly call themselves, they are leftists, as in envy driven people from the left side of the bell curve.
Liberals act like starved people from the 1930s without the job skills. They thus morally posture and attack as a mean of conquest replacing their inability to conquer someone via legit work and grown up leg work. Their attitude with abortion reflects exactly that, cheating and inability to support
I was having a similar eureka moment and came to the same conclusion. They Fear global warming, they are afraid of being wrong so they can’t handle our ideas, they are afraid their hedonism won’t be accepted and they will be damned.

I have the same experience. The leftists I had, as even friends, are too hostile and hateful today, which is a far cry from the happy, freedom loving tolerant hippies we knew in the 1960’s.
FB is for them. They can wallow in their hatred.
I have an old friend who turned hard left. I don’t talk to her any more. She kept trying to pull me to her side. Wanted me to vote for Hillary.
She would post lies about President Trump, when I pointed out her lies she said she knew they were lies but it was fun to belittle him.
I am sure she cried when he was elected.
I think their brains are fundamentally flawed.
Several weeks ago, someone posted a link to a video about a mouse “utopia” experiment. In a series of experiments, mice were placed into a habitat that was safe, had plentiful food and water, and was kept clean. The mice thrived at first, but then their social structures broke down, long before the maximum supportable population was reached, and the colony turned into mouse hell.
When I saw that video, I had an epiphany moment. The mouse behavior had many parallels to human behavior. Female mice reabsorbed their young when pregnant, or cannibalized or neglected newborn sell effect analogy to abortion, which is a manifestation of maternal instincts turning pathological. The mice became increasingly violent for a time, then started losing interest in any social interactions. I could keep explaining, but I will just post a couple of links below.
Most societal pathologies occur in cities, which are very analogous to the mouse colony. The root cause of the pathologies is that there are too many people for any one person to get to know. Thus, people cannot properly form social networks, and are constantly surrounded by strangers, which is stressful. Behavioral pathologies then manifest.
I’ve seen plenty of evidence from sociology “experts” that they imagine that some kind of utopia would result if all humans could be crowded into megacities. Thus, they constantly advocate for policies to move people out of the rural and suburban areas into the cities, and many politicians fall for those schemes. But they are wrong. Forcing more people into cities is exactly the wrong thing to do. The mouse (and later, rat) experiments demonstrated that.

I am astounded at the venom with which Trump haters react to anything Trump.
I could not stand obama but NEVER in my wildest imagination would treat obama supporters the way they treat the opposition.
And yet these anti-Trumpers, including some of my relatives, despise him with a contempt I never expected to see from them.
Excellent. Thanks for the links.
