In the “What’s the matter with Kansas?” era, elite liberals seemed to genuinely believe that people who didn’t vote for them were just poor, deluded saps who didn’t understand what was in their own best interest. Is that condescending? Sure, but at least it’s not hateful. At least it assumes that liberals still need to work to bring these people on board.

Does that attitude still exist? Sure, to a degree. In fact, just this week, James O’Keefe caught a CNN producer on camera saying he thinks that the American voters are “stupid as sh*t.”

This sort of thinking comes from the fact that liberalism is shot through with narcissism. Narcissists believe they’re better than everyone else just by virtue of being who they are. So do liberals. Liberals also believe they’re smarter, more compassionate and more caring just because they’re on the Left. Whether you’re talking about a liberal or a narcissist, this leads to high, but unstable self-esteem.

If you genuinely have high self-esteem, you can easily brush off challenges to your competence. When you have high, but unstable self-esteem, you become much more upset when your self-image is challenged. This can lead to anxiety, anger and lashing out as part of an effort to keep those doubts at bay. It can also lead to unchecked hatred of anyone who makes you question your value.

This tendency is amplified by the circular reasoning of liberals. Are you a better, smarter, more caring person by virtue of being liberal? Yes. Will other liberals challenge them on this? No. Will they pay attention to non-liberals who tell them that they’re not better, smarter and more caring than other people? No. So, this leads to an ironclad feedback loop. OBVIOUSLY, liberals are sensitive, wonderful and know it all and no one who matters will even question this thinking while anyone who does isn’t worth listening to in the slightest.

So, what happens when their views are REJECTED wholesale across the heartland of the country to such an extent that you can drive coast to coast without ever crossing a district run by Democrats? What happens when people point out that most of the policies they champion don’t work? What happens when people reject the idea that liberals know what’s best for them?

We got a taste of that right after Trump won and liberals were finally angry enough to be honest about what they really believe,

“This is what's terrifying: Even if Clinton wins, there are SO MANY people willing to vote for a bigoted imbecile. This is not my country. https://t.co/5wlgxi3viS” — Jill Filipovic

“Where is the primetime special on the pervasive white supremacy that allowed for Trump's rise & popularity?”— deray mckesson (@deray) November 9, 2016

“It appears racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia are powerful drugs. I'm so sad tonight. So so sad.” — Jillian Michaels (@JillianMichaels) November 9, 2016


“This was a white-lash. This was a white-lash against a changing country. It was a white-lash against a black president in part, and that’s the part where the pain comes.” – Van Jones

“Fascism just got hold of the United States. We are now seeing the worst of the worst elevated to positions of incredible power. Racism has been legitimized and the reports of hate crimes are rolling in. Trans children are committing suicide. Stock prices of private prisons and coal have skyrocketed. Women are months away from truly losing the right to control their own bodies.” – The Daily Kos

This was combined with liberals going to the psych ward, cutting all their hair off and faking hate crimes. Those are all signs of stability, right?

How about all the political violence we’ve been treated to by the Left? It’s turned into an epidemic. The Steve Scalise shooting may have gotten the most attention, but some of the other politically motivated assaults have been almost as jarring. Just to name a few…


“A Trump supporter was beaten and dragged by a car.”

“Protestors knocked a 71-year-old female staffer for California GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher unconscious during a protest outside the representative’s office.”

“Masked protesters at Middlebury College rushed AEI scholar and political scientist Charles Murray and professor Allison Stranger, pushing and shoving Murray and grabbing Stranger by her hair and twisting her neck as they were leaving a campus building. Stranger suffered a concussion. Protesters then surrounded the car they got into, rocking it back and forth and jumping on the hood.”

“A former professor was arrested after police said they identified him on video beating Trump supporters with a U-shaped bike lock, leaving three people with “significant injuries.”

Liberals project their own hatred onto conservatives regularly with their rhetoric. She doesn’t support gay marriage? She must hate gays. She doesn’t want to expand welfare? She must hate the poor. He doesn’t want to tear down a statue of a Founding Father who held slaves? He must hate black people. That’s their excuse for their own hatred. It’s actually YOU who hates everyone; so they have to HATE YOU right back. This accounts for what my girlfriend Sierra Marlee calls their "I care about everyone and if you don't believe that then I hope your kids get cancer" attitude.


You want evidence of this? Besides the fact that the Democrat nominee was someone who quite literally noted that “Republicans” were her enemies in a debate? How about this? How about the fact that there is almost no soul-searching by liberals after their defeat by Donald Trump? There’s no talk of changing their agenda (other than making it more radical), no talk of appealing to people who didn’t vote for them, no wondering what they did wrong.

That’s the problem. They don’t believe they did anything wrong. They believe the real issue is that you’re racist, sexist, subhuman pieces of garbage who need to be punished. When they get back into power, they’re going to do EXACTLY that and they will feel like you DESERVE IT the entire time because you’re so evil. I wish it wasn’t that way, but that is what the modern Left has become and if we don’t acknowledge that reality, we’re kidding ourselves.

The last paragraph is frightening.
If they regain power, those who differed with them will be punished because in their minds, you deserve to be punished. Wow. That thinking with political power behind it could be a significant threat.

The first thing that a liberal ever said to me that I believed was that he hated me. I was devastated, it wrecked my sterotype of lying liberals.

the reason they hate us is that we are everything they want to be but don't want to have to work hard to get it

I think its jealousy - pure and simple

if its not that, its just a mental defect - probably from bad water or eating onions

I don't hate them. I despise them.

That encapsulates the general attitude of urban/metro politicians, attorney generals, public interest law organizations (ACLU, South Poverty..) and a good chunk of liberal white professionals. Who coined the term white flight?
It was your car that got broken into, maybe you should consider your privilege and how being a property owner reflects upon those who have less

Your complaints of racism by your (insert non-white racial group) manager is highly unlikely.

I was thinking hypocrisy. Liberals are elitist, they want to force rules on the masses they are not willing to live themselves.

Has it ever occurred to you that they seem like the kids who always got their asses kicked in school? The only way they could get their way was to squeal "not fair" like the kids did who wouldn't work for what they want. And I was smaller when I was in elementary school so those of us who were smaller had to deal with bullies. But my dad taught me well that if you were willing to battle with them, then they would leave you alone. But liberals never learned that. Their only action when they want something is to whine and claim "unfair!", or your mean, or a racist, or a women hater, masogyinist etc, etc etc. They have made their strides through the courts and by using the system - being the squeaky wheel. Makes them very predicatable.

A liberal "friend" (west seattle) said gun loving people like me should be locked up.

Stakes are high over next 8-12 years. We need to win, and countinue to deprogram some of this generation while raising a new generation of Americans.

I'm reminded of a Mattis quote:

"I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all."

If they locked up everyone who owns guns, I wonder how much tax revenues would fall, how much incarceration costs would increase??

How in the HELL is he still a friend???

"People who want to arbitrarily take away other people's rights should be summarily killed..." See how they react to that.

Doesn't that illustrate the point perfectly. Your "friend" believes people should go to jail for doing something that is legal, and so fundamentally so that it's specifically protected in the Constitution. Why? Simply because their choices are different from his.

Sometimes I wonder how long our Republic can survive when so many are attacking its very foundation (in the name of tolerance, no less).

Good luck with that.

I went to a fireworks show last night and the young couple in front of us spent the whole time, literally, taking pictures of themselves with their dog. They never once looked at the fireworks and left as soon as the final fireworks began.

The "self-esteem" movement (clinically know as narcissism) is a pox on humanity.

They just can't stand to be told "No that's enough". Americans of all colors, creeds, young and old told them so when Donald J Trump became POTUS. This comes from stuff like everybody gets a trophy for showing up instead being told "Nope you didn't win". They want their Trophy Now. I say give them California and they all move there to be with their own kind and I don't have a problem with the Federal Gov sending them aid like we have with many third world countries. Chris

There's nothing stopping them from doing that right now.

Someone has an anniversary today, been on the forum 12 years.

Here's how the residents of California voted last November:



I live in one of the blue counties, and everyone I associate with voted for Trump.

Unless you're willing to compensate all of us who own property here, I'm afraid we'll have to reject your proposal.

The real answer is for the Federal government to bring to task the libtards who are passing anti-Constitutional laws in Sacramento.
