Oh my.

The main points are covered here, but it's best to go to the link above and read the whole thing.

The 5 Biggest Things Liberals Get Wrong About Themselves

If self-delusion were magic, average liberals would be David Blaine, David Copperfield and Houdini all rolled up into one. Most of what they say has no relation to what they’re doing, the policies they push rarely work and logic might as well be a strange, alien language to them.....

Quote
.....1) Liberals Are Better Than Everyone Else: If there’s one thing that liberals are sure of beyond all others, it’s that they are better, smarter and more capable than everyone else by virtue of being liberals.....

Quote
.....2) Liberals Are Victims: Wrong. Liberals are bullies. In fact, they’re the worst kind of bullies -- bullies who believe that they’re the victims. Those are the worst kind of bullies because they believe they’ve already been wronged and therefore almost anything they do in “retaliation” is justified.....

Quote
.....3) Liberals Are Rebellious: If some nerd standing in the middle of a Star Trek convention shouted, “Star Wars is inferior to Star Trek” and then wanted everyone to pat him on the back and tell him how courageous he was for doing it, people would laugh.

Yet liberals surround themselves almost entirely with other liberals, get liberalism served up to them at school, watch liberalism on TV at home, hear liberal messages from their favorite celebrities and musicians, get their news from MSNBC and the Daily Show and then want all the other libs doing the same thing to laud them for their courage because they say, “I don’t like Donald Trump” or “Good for Colin Kaepernick for protesting during the national anthem!” “Look at how I’m fighting the power” by saying the same thing as the New York Times, Washington Post and Lady Gaga!....

Quote
.....4) Liberals Are Tolerant: The LEAST TOLERANT people in America outside of maybe the God Hates F*gs wackos are liberals. Don’t believe that? Try being a conservative who’s invited to speak on a college campus, a black man who likes Donald Trump or a gay American who opposes gay marriage and see how that goes for you when you interact with liberals.....

.....The most abusive people in America when it comes to women? They’re liberal men talking to conservative women. Incidentally, the second most abusive group are liberal feminists who claim to represent all women. Liberals are habitually nasty, dishonest and vindictive toward people for no other reason than because they’re incapable of tolerating even a politely offered dissenting viewpoint.....

Quote
.....5) Liberals Are In Favor Of Progress: Liberals are so sure that they’re in favor of progress that they call themselves “progressives.” Meanwhile, they’ve been pushing variations on the same economic agenda for 80 years even after socialism became so discredited that even the “red Chinese” started moving toward capitalism.....

I don't mean this disrespectfully, but most of the 5 points are reasonably apparent, nod-your-head-in-agreement material. This sentence is actually a bit more insightful:

I think we've only started seeing this clearly evidenced with all the violent Hate-Trump tantrums the past year or so.

SPOT ON.

This needs to be an OP over at Discussionist.  I'd love see it posted at DU, but it would flame out in about two seconds.

Nice find!

Leftists, don't use liberals because they are anything but that, lack any iota of self reflection. Not there at all.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I just wish they were worm food.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I would settle for big huge chunks if would expedite the process.   :cheersmate:

Proglodytes believe they are twice as virtuous as everyone else because they have double the standards.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
