There is a lot of confusion and misconception when it comes to politics.

People will often put leftists/liberals/Democrats, and right-wingers/conservatives/Republicans in the same category. That being said, let's examine some things here.

First off, liberals, conservatives, right-wingers, and leftists are not even actual political groups.

Not all liberals are Democrat, and not all conservatives are Republican. There are conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans.

Leftists and right-wingers are in their own world. I've talked to liberals and Democrats who scoff at leftists ideologies, and conservatives and Republicans who scoff at right-wing ideologies.

Just a little info for you all 🤷‍♀️. Maybe we should just do away with all these labels since they cause so much confusion, eh? 😂

You are spot on accurate.
However, let me add to your astute observations.
First,
True liberals, libertarians and conservatives, ALL hold liberty as sacrosanct.
Focus here. Focus like a laser.
The left is totalitarian and anti-liberty.
They are authoritarian and government control.
You said that we should do away with labels? You couldn't be any more WRONG.
LABELS provide clarity. Crystal clear clarity.
The left doesn't want a light shining on what they are. As it stands, they are literally incompatible with our constitutional republic, our principles of liberty and bill of rights.
The sooner you understand that fact, the sooner you'll be able to identify the HUGE difference between leftists and REAL liberals, libertarians and conservatives.
Again, we hold liberty to be sacrosanct.
The bill of rights to be sacrosanct.
Our constitutional republic, to be sacrosanct.
We believe in
"E plu ri bus u num"
From many, to one.
We are made up of all races and creeds.
The left wants to divide us along every possible line.
Divided we fall.
Labels prevent the left from brainwashing the weak minded masses.
Shine a light on what the left really is, and they scatter like cockroaches.
The more you educate yourself about the left, the more disgusting they are.
Throughout history, fascism has always been intrinsically intertwined with both socialist and communist governments.
Fascism, Marxism, leftism, socialism, communism, etc....etc....etc.....are ALL collectives. They seek to break the human spirit. It's a cult like mentality that destroys ambition and drive.
All thru history, the fascist finds a home in socialist and communist governments.
From Chavez to mussolini, from Castro to pol pot. Hitler to Stalin, Lenin to Mao.
etc.....etc......etc.......these fascist dictators ruled over socialist and communist governments. NOW, TODAY, the huge problem facing our future generations, is left wing professors who teach their left wing revisionist history and bullshit propaganda. They literally change definitions of words, lie about governments. THE press, media and academia, are controlled by the left.
Today in Canada and Australia, we see these left wing fascists actually seize the bank accounts of private citizens.
People are finally becoming increasingly aware of the left.
Only the brainwashed masses continue to be duped and manipulated.
Again, as a true conservative and libertarian, I LOVE true liberals. But the problem is that the democrat party today, is controlled by the left.
Stay tuned..

@bradhuskers

The requirements of the Leftist ideology...

This Leftist ideology requires a person to refrain from the use of logic, critical thinking, reason and common sense.

This "liberal" ideology requires self-loathing and the hatred of self-preservation. It requires a person to join the cult of climate alarmism. The person's mind must totally suspend itself from reality and one must come to embrace the confirmation biases of the fellow members within their leftist cult.

You must use the word racist with reckless abandon, within every form of debate you have. One must hate free speech and love censorship.

Being part of the leftist society requires you to have an affinity for being controlled and monitored 24/7. Cell phones and google are your best friends. Big Tech is your welcomed overlord. It helps darken your soul, with all the lies you must accept on a 24/7 basis. Convenience is your top priority and freedom your greatest enemy.

Leftists have stopped using cash because it is either dirty or inconvenient. The monitoring of their every financial transaction, the loss of privacy and the freedom that comes with this, just sounds cool to them.

The cult members of the left embrace the governmental control of everything, including their children, their medicine, their doctors, the food they eat, the water they drink, the air they breathe, the energy they use, the job they work and the very life they live.

Cognitive dissonance has become their ego massager. They must convince themselves to hate clean American fossil fuel production while becoming overjoyed by the import of dirty foreign fossil fuels from rogue dictators and corrupt nations.

Leftist drones despise their own country. Revisionist history and or the deletion of history helps a leftist forget. It reminds them that the USA is a very bad and racist nation. This warped take on history brainwashes them into thinking everybody who founded this country and paid for the price of freedom with their very lives were either evil, racist or xenophobic.

Leftist radicals must live their life according to what the leftist propagandist media spews and the self proclaimed leftist "fact" checkers claim to "verify."

Big Pharma is essential to their existence. The corrupt medical conglomerate which keeps their body and mind in a constant state of repair, confusion and delusion has become their security blanket for "wellness." Fauci is their prophet and government paid scientists are their faith-keepers. Lefties look to these medical/political czars to provide them with the prescription drugs that will quell their depression and anxiety.

As a committed leftist ideologue you must enjoy wearing masks and embrace government lockdowns. A sacred trust in government bureaucrats is a must.

Communist China becomes your new mommy and daddy. You rely on them for all your gadgets, pharmaceuticals and essential products. You have to pretend their leaders are benevolent, even though you know they are pure evil. You enjoy funding the CCP army with every purchase you make.

When one agrees to become part of a Leftist cult, one must "murder" their soul and conscience every single day. Life becomes a dull existence, one must choose existing as a lazy slave, rather than taking the time and effort which is essential to living free.

Leftists must worship Socialism, Communism, Marxism and reject Capitalism.

They must become a fan of massive gun control and despise the guns that their fellow law abiding citizens have within their possession.

Being part of the leftist club demands you to become a globalist, a citizen of the world. You are compelled to embrace a leftist totalitarian police state and reject any form of national pride you have.

Extreme leftists must hate western civilization and do everything possible to destroy it. Moral relativism affects everything they do. You must become a person who mocks the traditional nuclear family. You are required to laud homosexuality, transgenderism and anything which is considered freakish or perverse. Believing in God is something to be looked down upon, for the only god for a leftist is either the government and or technology.

Political leftists choose to embrace evil and loathe good. They must become obligated to existing in an upside down world.

A leftist must be soulless and embrace the culture of death, including abortion on demand, paid for by everyone's taxes. You must detest private home ownership and embrace government ownership of everything. You must have an affinity for credit card debt, "free" college and everything else the leftist tyrants of the world promise you.

Leftists believe in higher taxes, endless government spending and perpetual debt.

Citizens of the left must give a pass to corrupt leftist politicians, while ignoring their very crimes and policies, which create misery for their entire family and fellow citizens. These people never demand accountability for lawlessness, especially if it advances their extreme leftist political agenda.

Being part of the leftist cult demands they never question rigged elections, despising the idea of a person showing identification to vote is a must. They believe anybody should be able to vote, including non-citizens and dead people. Lefties believe in elections, which last weeks or months, they believe in counting as many ballots necessary, until their side wins. Illegal Ballot harvesting and Illegal Mail-in voting are good things. within the leftists warped perception of "free" elections.

A committed leftist acolyte welcomes the idea of open borders. These cultists believe in illegal immigration, which doesn't require any type of assimilation. Many of them ignore rampant child/human trafficking and the massive importation of illegal drugs, at the US border. Lefties believe in a world without countries or national borders. Being part of a world government is their accepted fate.

According to the Left, education should be used as a tool in destroying young minds, by either Leftist indoctrination or brainwashing. One must agree that students ought to be told what to think rather than cultivate the critical thinking skills within each student. Leftists promote and praise the idea of young children being taught about sexuality at very young ages.

Leftism requires you to love irresponsibility and reject personal responsibility. You must become a fan of out of control crime and you must rue the rule of law and the US Constitution. You firmly believe in no-bail law for criminals, no matter what the crime. You believe in activist Leftist judges and corrupt Marxist district attorneys, funded by radical George Soros. You rely on these corrupt people within the judicial system to push your vile agenda at any cost and you demand they ignore the US Constitution.

Leftist voters love the idea of leftist presidents within their party weaponizing the CIA, FBI, DOJ and other government agencies against rival political parties and US citizens. These brainwashed leftist minds actually believe white supremacy and climate change are the greatest threats to their safety and national security.

The leftist mind-set actually requires people to embrace the planet's, their country's, their mind's, their soul's and their body's self-destruction. It requires them to root for their own demise and feel good about it. Being part of the left requires a total suspension of reality and a 24/7 love affair with a fantasy world.

Unfortunately, it's becoming harder and harder to distinguish a radical leftist from a traditional liberal. Since liberals pay little attention to the Frankenstein creations which they are responsible for creating, they must now accept the responsibility for the deteriorating country we now exist in.

We must now consider liberals complicit in the destruction, which most of the radical leftists are unleashing upon the world right now. Willful ignorance of evil is evil itself. In fact, many consider it the greatest evil of them all.

What is worse, a society of evil people who are ushering in a dystopia or a society which ignores the evil people ushering in this dystopia? What's worse, those who facilitate the evil, or those who ignore the evil being facilitated?

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." -Ronald Reagan-

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke-

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” He also said “The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer-

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” -Oscar Wilde-

"To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That’s what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul – would you understand why that’s much harder?"-Ayn Rand-

"You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor." -Aristotle-
“Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” -John Wayne-

@bradhuskers I don't like having a label slapped on me just because of the way I think. Plain and simple.

@latinbutterfly
And I fully understand what you are saying. HOWEVER, if you aren't aware that the left is totalitarian, authoritarian, and incompatible with our principles of liberty and bill of rights, you may need a serious reality check.
Again, true liberals, libertarians, and conservatives, ALL hold liberty as sacrosanct, the left is anti-liberty.

bradhuskers · 56-60, M

@therighttothink50
Everything you said is 100% correct.
Thank you for your insights and astute observations. The left relies on the Indoctrination, and manipulation of the weak minded masses. The press, media and academia, including the democrat party, use bullshit propaganda to literally control these weak minded sheep.
The American people are making progress though, as Virginia just threw out their left wing democrat governor.
Stay tuned. We are snowballing towards November.

bradhuskers · 56-60, M

@latinbutterfly
I respect the way you think.
However, that being said, I will always point out facts about how the left wing is incompatible with our constitutional republic. Again, REAL liberals, libertarians and conservatives, ALL hold liberty and the bill of rights to be sacrosanct. The left does not.
Left wing politicians openly speak about tearing down our constitutional republic and replacing it with their own manifesto.
The more you educate yourself about the left, the more you'll understand how incompatible they are with our constitutional republic.
