Why are they like this? [I Don't Like Liberals Or Feminists]

I used to consider myself liberal, and in a lot of ways I still am pretty liberal, but I legitimately cannot stand liberals. I've never met so many backstabbing, fake, racists in my life. They're by far the most histrionic people I've ever met.
It seems to just be young millennials and gen z who are the worst..I just don't understand why so many of them are like that. How did being a liberal Democrat become so toxic? Or am I just opening my eyes for the first time?
If your not a liberal at the age of 20, you got no heart.
If you’re not a conservative by the age 40.. you got no brain 😁

I used to be ‘liberal’
There isn’t a single thing liberal about liberals anymore.

@Slade I never thought I'd be considering myself conservative..I was so sure the left was right...

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout [c=800000]Quite the comment, coming from the guy who sang "Anarchy in the U.K." and "God Save the Queen". I think there's a lot of us (myself among them) who were "old school" liberals and leftists who DESPISE what's going on today with the degenerate namby pamby crybaby censorious woke sissies and the undue and unearned societal and political clout these lesser beings are allowed to have by the establishment.[/c]

@theAlchemist Over the years Johnny Rotten and the Queen have become fond of each other.

Both are populists who have walked the walk (more than most famous people)

I think this happens when we realize that liberalism doesn't translate into compassion or sharing; and conservatism isn't about selfishness.

Restless - Congratulations on your epiphany!
I hope there are many more young people that follow your foot steps.

Keep in mind that the term "liberal" is an old and outdated label slapped onto someone by society. Anyone can be a racist idiot whether they are a liberal, conservative, Democrat, or a Republican. It's just the way that someone people are, sadly.
Slade · 56-60, M
@SubstantialKick Liberal means lover of liberty. Unfortunately, those that call themselves that are anything but.

It's an upside down world

Please remember that the Republican party also has nothing to do with "conservativism". Quite the opposite as well. They "conserve" nothing but their own power.

@DeWayfarer I've never really researched any other political leaning, or what they really stood for, outside of mostly left ideals.

All of my family on my mother's side growing up was conservative. My father was liberal.

I'm certain they are appalled at what has happened over the last four years.

They knew what it meant to conserve.
But not all dems are libs. Many people who align with dems are more interested in worker's rights, and care about the environment, etc. But sadly, with both the left and the right, it seems as though the fringe extremists have gained power.
I consider myself a moderate independent. On some issues, I find myself in agreement with the left, while on others, I tend to lean right.
Racism isn't endemic to a particular political party, (At least it didn't used to be so much) I come from a family of "Orange County Republicans" yet my dad was totally progressive in the early 60's hiring black managers for his stores and actively supporting civil rights.

I became a liberal in the late 60's due to personal changes in my own consciousness and observations of social changes needed.

That is why I'm an outsider.

The veil is being lifted, welcome to the light.
Restless · 31-35, F
@InHeaven it is! Especially when they preach acceptance and tolerance, but they're only accepting and tolerant until they get a bug up their butts
Correct. They’re accepting and tolerant of only the things they choose to accept and tolerate. So drug use, socialism, LBTQRST are OK. Everything else? No. Hypocrites. @Restless

@stratosranger LITERALLY
I don’t base my beliefs on what others think or believe. Seriously. It may be like the paradox of “no true Scotsman”, but based on what progressive and Feminist meant 50 years ago, I’m still one now and hold those same values, even if others who identify as such have changed. Conservatives follow traditions that I’ve never felt included me, and still don’t.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Welp now she knows. She should have figured it out a long while back.
No, you’re just seeing one facet of a group. I’m a senior liberal (or progressive). Being backstabbing or fake is not the province of any one political ideology. And as far as racism goes, progressivism discourages it, but people are people.

@RogueLoner that was the first generation, the second in the 90’s, here we are 2021 so it’s been 47 years. It used to be talked about as Lifeboat Ethics and self-esteem vs. respect by preachers and Bible teachers but I believe most have strayed from that type of teaching. I had heard that some of those programs such as Quest were underwritten by Masonic Foundation.
