Do they just see it as one more great social wrong to right with a vast expansion of government authority?
I think we all know the answer to that question.
If I recall correctly, Rush Limbaugh predicted this food nazi movement years ago.
He said once they were done with demonizing and suing the tobacco companies, then they would go after fast food for allegedly killing us all with junk food.
There’s something in the nature of liberalism which leads liberals to think that they are right and everyone else is wrong. And not just that they are wrong, but that they are evil and should be destroyed.
Conservatives tend to think that liberals are wrong on the issues, and will engage in the debate on those issues.
But liberals tend to think that conservatives are evil, don’t see nuances of issues, and that no debate can be engaged with such lesser classes of people such as conservatives. The liberals just want to shut down debate on the liberal cause of the day.
