I admit this is a generality. But overall in my own experience, I get the sense of two things:
1. Progressives always need to preach and try to convince others to agree with them
2. Progressives think who they vote for and support makes them a “good person”
I work with a lot of these people. They are always asking or demanding, never offering help. If I don’t do what they ask (covering their event outside of work hours, when it isn’t a required job duty), I’ve had some go complain to the head of our organization.
It seems to me, most of these folks never do anything for anyone else, nor lend a helping hand. But they are “good” people, in their own minds, because they vote a certain way.

Conservatives generally have a religious conviction, from which their politics is informed. This represents an external source of truth and morality. Progressives generally don't have this, such that their politics is also their religion, and their source of truth and morality is internal, i.e. the will. That's why these battles are so personal to them. It's also why they are so dangerous because we all know what happens when the will triumphs.

Huh who knew I have a religious conviction and have not been to mass 35 years. I know other heathens that are total conservatives. That broad brush does not work. |

It's not a broad brush but a generality. Hence use of the word "generally." Further to that, not all irreligious are relativists. After all, the Greek philosophers believed there was an absolute truth outside of themselves. |

Facebook lol. A few posts tonight … one … if you voted Trump, please unfriend me. Bet. You didn’t even have to ask, I would have done it anyway. Taking out the trash tonight with every preachy post I see. (All progressives, btw)
You have to have so much cognitive dissonance to have this type of reaction.
I didn’t mention in my op, these people are also brainwashed.

I've noticed the Democrats are the party of inclusion. Except of course if you disagree with him politically or on any of their dumbass social policies. My Facebook page is plastered with hysterical Democrats telling anyone that didn't vote for Harris to unfriend them. I have never seen a post like that from a Republican on my Facebook page. Some of these are people of known and been friends with since high school. And saying that Democrats in their self-imposed purity tests are so eager to throw away friendships for political differences. And I'm not a hardcore republican. I'm pro-choice and fairly socially liberal. Democrats just push way too far. They had no mandate but that open border and many of the trans issues are a major turn off. Maybe they'll self-reflect over the next 4 years but I seriously doubt it. They'll probably come back more liberally insane than ever |
