What is with the trashing of liberals on here? Seriously.

Some people act as if all liberals are evil and unpatriotic by default. As someone who has mostly liberals views herself, it has become frustrating, because I feel like I can't even discuss my views on here without being judged. I am really sick of it.

I believe it has to do with liberals who are elected public officials. Whether it's in congress, or a mayor or governor, and during the 4 years that Trump was president, some of those people went full force crazy, mostly in the things they said. There were some private citizens who might have supported what those public officials were saying, and I believe it's like a default umbrella now. Where if you are X and someone else who is X says Y, then it automatically means you also support Y.

The way I see it is, everyone is their own person. Me and Bob might be X, but if Bob says YYZ and YYZ isn't good to be saying or thinking, just because I might be X doesn't mean I have the same beliefs as Bob. I might support QRS.

I think it's wrong to assume you have the same beliefs and vision as others just because of your political affiliation. But, it all started with the people at the top in D.C., and in the media.

@twiigss Well that and serving liberals what they have been serving conservatives for decades seems fair.

@hippyjoe1955 I don't believe it's fair for one side of a political affiliation to bombard another, and then cry about it when it happens to them. What's fair is fair. You did X to me, I do X to you. That's fairness in my book.

Treat me well, I treat you well. Treat me bad, I treat you bad.

@twiigss Do onto others is a good policy but when you are constantly being called a racist or a dullard because you believe in the equality of mankind and the free and open exchange of ideas..... Yeah there comes a time to strike back. If the only language they understand is the language they use I will use their language against them.

@hippyjoe1955 though the fact is that you dislike me purely for being liberal thinking. But I dislike you because you seem like an ignorant jerk

@JonLosAngeles66 I don't even know you. I don't dislike people I have never met. I do laugh at liberal's ideas. They are so silly as to be suitable for a laugh track.
