Nice piece. Too bad this article was hard to find. I’ve been a lifelong democrat myself, but I do not like all of the things I’ve been seeing that have been gaining traction:

  • Freedom of speech is being attacked. Anything and everything these days is being taken out of context and anyone can get offended for any reason; intent is being completely ignored. Even comedians like Bill Maher have been banned from certain Universities.
  • The use of labels. Every individual has to belong to some group. Depending on which group you belong to, you should be afforded certain privileges (i.e. if you belong to some minority, it is your right to act crazy because you are oppressed). This is exactly what they accuse the right of: painting with a broad brush. This is a slap in the face of every individual, regardless of race, religion, etc.
  • Using Moral Authority as an excuse for bad behavior. You addressed this issue pretty extensively in your article and this also kind of ties into the use of labels.

Again, nice article and I’m glad I found another like-minded person to follow.

Thanks!
