I've known many Leftists who learn that I am a Conservative and accuse me of being a dictator who wants to control everyone, take away their fun, and oppress minorities.
I say, "No. I just want you to leave me alone."
But they aren't buying it. They know that Conservatives are control freaks who get off on messing up other people's lives.
It's projection, of course.

If they are honest and not just bigots, then they are reacting to puritanism. Most American liberal opposition to religion is along these lines.
Who are the puritans today?

It's projection, of course. And the fact that many who do want to run your life call themselves "conservatives."

In all fairness, controlling other people's lives 'for their own good' is a hallmark of certain sects of conservatisim......
but the whine of 'UNFAIR' by the more progressive members of society is downright childish. Particularly when all that happened was a repeating what this blithering idiot said.
