It’s been my experience when push comes to shove, left wingers will always run the other way and let someone else do the shoving.
That someone else might be the govt or it might be you but they wont do it themselves, they will run to the protection of others to take care of them.
Not only will they run to you to do the shoving back, once you start doing the shoving back they will try and stop you.
You put your faith in the left to help you do the shoving and you are in for a rude awakening.
From your own experience that is one thing, but when it comes to human survival that beat out everything else.
