The liberals do not believe in discussion or compromise. Nor can they believe that any reasonable person can disagree with liberal positions.
Hillary’s screed, about how Trump supporters are racist, sexist, xenophobic, Islamphobic, etc. perfectly sums up the liberal attitude.
The liberal attitude is that those with differing views are bigoted, hateful, intolerant in some way, and thus, not worthy of discussing issues with.
I can think of some examples.
If you opposed homosexual marriage, you are homophobic. End of discussion.
If you oppose abortion on demand, you hate women. End of discussion.
If you oppose the whole global warming thing, you hate science, you are flat earther, you don’t care that mankind is imperiled. End of discussion.
If you oppose illegal immigration, you are xenophobic. End of discussion.
If you oppose Muslim immigration, or oppose Muslim terror, you are Islamophobic, because you will get lectured that not all Muslims are terrorists, and that the terrorists are not representing true Islam. Again, end of discussion, because you are some kind of bigot.
In all these sorts of discussions, the discussion ends because the liberal, from his perch of perceived superiority, decides you are not worthy of even discussing any of these issues, BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG. YOU ARE HATEFUL. YOU ARE BIGOTED.
That horses*** attitude is what we are up against with liberalism.
I think that is because Liberalism is based on emotion, not on logic or rational thinking.
It is indefensible by calm debate...hence the shouting, cursing, demonizing of--and even violence against--its opponents.
Exactly right and well said.
