The main reasons I left the Left behind, along with my respect.

[Yerda]

1. The Trump decapitation. Remember that, when a comedian decapitated a fake Trump? Nobody cared. People defended it by comparing it to the right hanging Obama in the last presidency. Guess what guys, if it's wrong to fake murder a president in one situation it is in all. A rational person would be disgusted at both but no, not the left.when Republicans do it it's morally wrong but when they do it it's a valid statement to be celebrated. There is no morality, only what works for the left at the time.

2. Nothing good can be recognized if it may be tied to Trump. When's the last time ISIL headlined? Did you know unemployment is down especially for minorities? Hey there's a chance the Korean war may end? And what's that you say, the opiod epidemic is finally being addressed? Who cares, Trump can only be tied to evil! It's absolutely absurd. This is so emotional and irrational it's nothing but embarrassing.

3. Let's keep it short - most of the Left didn't give the slightest crap about things like the social work system and kids in it until Trump became involved in a way they could attack. This is DISGUSTING. Some of us have fought long and hard to fix this broken system and tried to do so for OUR OWN CITIZENS. But you didn't care. You didn't care when Obama was keeping children in poor conditions. It's not about morality for you,it's about Trump bashing, and it honestly nauseates me. Sorry, but we know what it is you actually care about guys, why didn't you care before?

Well at least it wasn't another rant about feminazis and Muslim infiltration...

It's fine to be bitter. The left is a bit of a shambles right now. Especially in America. Just be careful you don't go swallowing a whole load of nonsense from people saying things you want to hear.

It would help if you had photos of sad little kids Behind Bars eating bread and water. Maybe have Sally Struthers narrate if you ask nice.

Here's a bipartisan idea, since the left likes handcuffing little kids who already live here and dragging them off in police cars for processing, you can then hand them off to the right and they can stay in the Detention Center with the illegals so they can talk to each other How Great America is.

To the ignore list you go. It is clear where you stand and I want nothing to do with it.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Unlike the GOP who only benefit the American people who are white and straight? I'll take my chances.

That's weird, minorities in my area are doing pretty damn good in the world of reality outside of the cloistered group supposedly referred to as media.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Yeah the reality of things are pretty hard to take.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Yeah the reality of things are pretty hard to take.

Yep. It's pretty hard to believe that any human being could defend this inhumanity.

 

[Yerda]

Yep. It's pretty hard to believe that any human being could defend this inhumanity.

Sadly, it's not hard to believe at all.

People will defend almost anything that impacts on how they see their tribe. It's a rare person who feels shame for the awful stuff their 'team' does.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Yep. It's pretty hard to believe that any human being could defend this inhumanity.

What is inhumane, is the inability of people to solve their own domestic problems without necessitating a need to create new sets of problems for people elsewhere.

It's not like we're a country full of inhumane people, but there are channels that need to be traversed properly that were set up for valid reasons. Primary health and safety concerns come up when strangers approach your door and barge themselves through International borders.

It's not our fault people put themselves in these situations by going the illegal route.

Maybe it's a form of Poetic Justice. Given illegal immigration is systemic enough to capture national attention.

I can just imagine that many native nations here are now saying, "Now you know how we feel".

History repeats itself.

Your unsupported rants don't prove what you think it does.

Shunning anything outside our positions huh? No, impossible, it's the non-leftists who are fascist!

 

[David1967]

I thought the Korean War ended in 1953.

Nope. It was a cease fire that has lasted some 70 years. Technically there is still a state of war.What is hoped for is an official ending of hostilities.

 

[1137]

Yep. It's pretty hard to believe that any human being could defend this inhumanity.

Funny you didn't care about US children and the kids in the system here, but now care about illegal immigrants because it's a way to attack Trump.

*Insults teamwork, is part of the still existent human species that thrived on teamwork.* Like wtf?

You guys are really full on reality deniers aren't you. Like, even beloved CNN is aware of this. Black unemployment rate hits a record low

I think there is a useful distinction between what I'll call the "traditional left" and the newer "extreme left".

While over-generalization is bad, we must also be able to talk about groups of people who hold a set of ideas in common. Muslims hold a set of ideas in common. Christians hold a different set of ideas in common. And so on.

I would agree that some subset of "the left" are extreme. One indicator to me, is that those extremists will not debate their closely held ideas. If you won't debate ideas like multiculturalism or white privilege or how big is the gender pay gap really, then in my book, you're on the extreme left.

That said, there is some merit in the OP, because it's tricky to know how to handle things when a demagogue gets something right.

Nobody wins in politics. It's all a power play for folks who in the end have zero concern for you. Unless you have an issue that support the current agenda, no politician is going to care about your problems.

Best thing to do IMO is cut yourself off from all politics. Your life will be more peaceful, you can get along with folks better, you will experience a happier life by avoiding politics as much as possible.

It is for the most part emotionally driven drama. Like watching a reality show Soap Opera.

Go look up "confirmation bias". And stop giving credit to Trump for things he had nothing to do with.

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

If this is what it took to leave the left "behind" than your opinions probably weren't grounded in good reason anyways.

So a comedian decapitated trump...? So?

Quite so. If a single act by a single minor celebrity is enough to get you to abandon an entire political ideology, it's hard to believe you were ever that committed to it in the first place.

Been heavily considering this.

Lol well thought out and argued. See #2
