I don't think anyone here would ever accuse me of a victim mentality. Let's stop wth the name-calling, okay? It's truly hard to have a real discussion when people want to just dismiss a different political belief by painting with that paintbrush.
But here are some labels for you and a little more info than you asked for ... I'm glad to say I'm progressive left. I'm also a feminist. I'm a parent who loves her children more than I value my own life & I believe in pro-choice. I support gay rights, because I just can't fathom why anyone should care who another person loves. I'm also a gun owner (and fairly proficient
), but believe we need better gun control in place. I've earned my own living through life & every penny I have is from the work I've done - but I donate to those less fortunate. I recognize that my life has been easier than some because I was gifted with a good education and born in a country with opportunity. I'd like to see more given the chance I've been given. I'm not vegan, but I aspire to be a better person. And I was disgusted by Kathy Griffin, who clearly stepped over a line. Just as I'm disgusted by people like Ted Nugent who called for the assassination of the president (and was subsequently invited to the WH by the next president).
So lay off proclaiming what is 'wrong with the left'. No one here is a victim. And perhaps you got it right when you said that "
some believe their own bullshit so much, that they are caught off guard when it turns out not everyone shares the same viewpoint." Points for self-awareness
