“For years, liberals attacked Swift for her relative silence on political and cultural causes. “
Why do the Left do this ? Why is it not enough to be silent or neutral ?
"The the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt."
Isaiah 57:20
There are five levels of support/opposition for the Left.
Active Supporters: Fully on board and working for the cause
Passive Supporters: Support the cause, but do not participate actively
Neutral: Neither support or oppose. Not involved.
Passive Opposition: Oppose the cause, but don't do anything about it
Active Opposition: Actively engaged in efforts to oppose the cause. Attend rallies, work the phones, contribute, etc.
The goal of the Left is not to take the Active Opposition and convert it into active support. The goal is to move people in each category one space to the Left.
For instance, they seek to make their Active Opposition into Passive Opposition. Do this by making them embarrassed to be part of the Active Opposition. That is why they portray every opponent as a toothless moron. Who wants to hang out with toothless morons? If you can make these people passive, you have eliminated your strongest opposition.
Also, you seek to turn your Passive Supporter into an Active Supporter. This is what they have done with Tay Tay. She has always been sympathetic to their cause. Now they are just trying to push her into a more active and overt role.
Because the left is intolerant.
