They're always doing that...
Consider - saying the Cambridge police acted - stupidly. Add in every time you took the perp's side over the police
during all the BLM incidents.
Nothing - perhaps you're bold by taking a stand against corruption here and there in law enforcement.
Challenge the clearly lopsided, biased investigation by persons shown to have a political agenda -
You're against *ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT*. Shame on you.
Tell your crowd to get in their face about the issues - good.
Tell your crowd to hit back if they *start* a fight - bad.
It's always the most extreme interpretation of stuff that clearly is not.
Even the statements about Mexicans and illegals crossing the border - many of whom are dealing drugs
and commit crimes here - oh, you believe they are ALL criminals? How racist of you!

They didn’t get this way overnight. They been cultivating that mindset in their followers for 50 years.
I think your description, in a post many weeks or months back, about them being cult-like was the most accurate interpretation.
Unfortunately like zealots of histories Greatest examples, they’re going to continue until they reach a boiling point and they become bold enough to start a civil conflict.

The illustration at the top stems from a concept that there really is only one "right" way to be on an issue,
as though social and political issues were mathematical equations where one answer is right and all others are wrong.
I remember a telling reveal from a woman I knew when we were arguing and I said "you really think you're right on everything don't you?".
She answered "of course, why would I choose to be wrong?".
I mean, I get it. If you're open-minded enough, you can be willing to be persuaded, so you do choose your position on something.
But while I think my position is right - like any scientist who adheres to a scientific belief - I am always prepared to challenge and change it
if the evidence points another way. How does that happen? From being wrong a lot. From experience.
And especially from finding myself in someone else's shoes.
You think lightly of discrimination - until it happens to you. A lot. You roll your eyes at people who are addicts - until you are one.
You wag your head when you see someone begging for money - until you find yourself destitute and have no options.
And THIS is why I don't draw the line at one answer, one solution, one right side of an issue.
Liberals think there's one right side - and I've heard it SAID to me - and any other side is tainted by SOME other influence.
YOU think otherwise because - well - you're ignorant of the "truth". Or you're bigoted. Or greedy. Or stupid.
Or any of a host of other vices (sound familiar?).
And I maintain there's more than one answer, because the universe is not so well defined. People are not always logical.
Perspective and experience tell you that this GREAT idea cannot work. That imperfect solutions are often the best ones.
That your position may rest on optimism, idealism - or pessimism and caution.
Give you an idea - really, wouldn't it be great if government DID handle our health care?
Doctor visits are free? Any expensive procedure would no longer worry you. What an ideal situation.
Except for two things - one - it's pretty much a one-way trip - once you go there, there's really no way back.
And second - anything that big is ripe for abuse. And you know once something is free, people will take advantage of it.
The ideal is destroyed, because it doesn't anticipate that human beings will abuse it.
So which way is right?
Nope goes back before WW II .... when Stalin labeled Trotsky a FASCIST and tossed him out, after Trotsky advocated revolution every 5 yrs
[that would have removed Stalin from POWER, he couldn't abide by that]
Trotsky was to the left of Stalin ....
Ever Since Progressives / Leftists / Communists / Socialists have labeled anything they oppose Fascist or Right Wing

There is no Free Ride in Healthcare. What you call free is expensive as hell.
Of course those who do not pay are not paying now.
Those who do pay are talking up the slack. That is one reason insurance is so expensive.
If Health Care were free as the word free implies the Doctors would be on a salary.
How many Doctors do you feel would work on a Government stipulated salary.?
How many would just work as a Doctor and not expand themselves to be Specialists.?
Who would set the pay scale and how would we deal with their Union?
Our system with all it's faults was the best system in the world until liberals started ####ing with it.

Sadly, what they don't seem to realize is that people are ready. I don't think conservatives will start it, but they'll sure as hell finish it.
