What would life be like if liberals had their way? (1 Viewer)

This forum wouldn't exist except for different ways of saying "Glory be to the mighty POTUS" and "thank you...Can I have another".

 
Conservatives do not personalize the differences nearly as much as liberals who attack the character and hold hatred towards individuals and want to cancel and punish people.  Conservatives view liberals as naive and ill informed and thinking with their feelings.  But not in terms of bigots and hate mongers who want to harm people.  Conservatives are far more tolerant of opposing ideas and do not try to employ every means possible to shut up the other side.  To me the January 6th witch hunts perfectly illustrate this.  
I think this might be your craziest take yet.

How about everyone puts away their broad brushes, because the level of ignorance in here is becoming too palpable.

You are completely oblivious to the truth.  Liberals have no idea how nasty liberals are until they take conservative positions against liberal positions.  A liberal speaker never faces the kind of nasty protests, the deplatforming, the calls to be fired or fined for simply speaking out on a topic.

I never said some liberals aren't nasty. Some conservatives are too. Like the ones calling in death threats to like every single person who had a role in stopping Trump from subverting democracy, or the ones who smeared their feces across the halls of Congress (unfortunately, that's not a metaphor). Point is, bad actors abound in all ideologies.

I asked to stop painting with a brush brush because plenty from both sides are not the people who do these things. Most aren't. Thing is, "Guy Politely Disagrees on Political Issue" isn't a headline we ever get to see, but that doesn't mean it never happens or even that it's uncommon.

 
There would be a lot more fine dining. Conservatives’ idea of a fancy meal is The Olive Garden. Liberals eat at The French Laundry.

There is no comparison between the two sides.  Certainly there are bad apples on both sides.  But what separates the two is not only the quantity and spitefulness but also the mainstream acceptance of those vile attacks from those on the left.  It still blows my mind that cities across the country were ravished by BLM and the left still want to characterize them as mostly peaceful and the violence is excused.   If this were a relationship, the left would be the borderline/abusive partner.

Maybe if they are taking grandma with them.    Otherwise  they are at capital grill  or Ruth Chris's.

I for one am at a sports bar, sushi.   I buy 1/2 a cow a year.    I cook my steaks at home.   Best of the best.

I don't know what to say to you. The protests were mostly peaceful, that's factual. When and where there was violence, there was nothing but condemnation of it.

Maybe stop getting your information from propaganda sources?

VIDEO: Ben Shapiro (DEBATES) Piers Morgan on Gun Control 01-09-13 Oct 10, 2017

After the terror at Sandy Hook, Piers Morgan made the unfortunate (for him) decision to host Ben Shapiro on his CNN show to argue gun control in the United States....

VIDEO (8 Years Later): Ben Shapiro and Piers Morgan Revisit Their Viral Gun Control Debate Apr 10, 2021

In this clip, Piers Morgan and I revisit our viral debate over the issue of gun control. I greatly appreciate Piers' willingness to accept my invitation to join the Sunday Special—especially given our well-documented policy disagreements. Piers was "cancelled" by the woke mob just a few weeks ago for absolutely no reason; it's extremely important that conservatives stand up against cancel culture in all of its manifestations. At this point, anyone to the right of AOC is being castigated out of society as deplorable and irredeemable, and things are only going to get worse from here...

There's a lot of truth to what jon is saying here. Piers Morgan is a good example. He was a stalwart for the left until he got cancelled, then the ONLY PERSON TO HELP HIM WITH THEIR OWN PLATFORM was Conservative Ben Shapiro, whom he battered and battled with over gun control.

You can see Morgan's tone change 8 years later when realized Shapiro was hosting him again as a matter of principle.

Unfortunately jon, you will be ignored and attacked for pointing out a hard bu clearly open reality of the "cancel culture"

You're a good poster. I'm glad you are still with us. Shapiro is right, all Conservatives should stand up and stand together.

 


Headline: Breitbart Editor (Ben Shapiro) calls Piers Morgan a bully standing on the graves of the children killed at Sandy Hook

On Thursday Morgan had Breitbart News Editor-at-large Ben Shapiro on his show 'Piers Morgan Tonight' to talk about gun control as part of a series of episodes Morgan is doing about 'Guns in America.'...You may recall that in the first episode of the series Morgan called the Executive Director of Gun Owners an “unbelievably stupid man.” He then brought on Fox News contributor and gun advocate John Lott only to call him a liar....

Last night, when Morgan asked Shapiro why Shapiro thinks he's “off the rails on this issue,” Shapiro quickly fired back with, “You have kind of been a bully on this issue....You tend to demonize people who differ from you politically by standing on the graves of the children of Sandy Hook, saying they don’t seem to care enough about the dead kids. If they cared more about the dead kids, they would agree with you on policy..."

“How dare you... How dare you accuse me of standing on the graves of children who died there...How dare you.....” Morgan responded.

(Shapiro) continued to tear into the host: “I think we can have a rational, political conversation about balancing rights and risks and rewards of all of these different policies, but I don’t think that what we need to do is demonize people on the other side as being unfeeling about what happened at Sandy Hook....Well, I mean, you can keep saying that, but you’ve done it repeatedly. What you do, and I’ve seen you do it on your program, is you keep saying to folks if they disagree with you politically, then somehow this is a violation of what happened in Sandy Hook....I would really like to hear your policy prescriptions for what we should do about guns because you say you respect the Second Amendment....”

(Shapiro) present(ed) a pocket version of the Constitution. “I brought this here for you so you can read it...I would really like for you to explain to me what you would do about guns that would have prevented what happened in Sandy Hook....If you want to do what you did in the U.K., which is ban virtually all guns, that is at least a fair argument and we can have a discussion about whether that’s something that we ought to do or not.....Your passion on the issue doesn’t really justify the rationale for why you want to ban assault weapons....”

Direct Headline: Lorraine Kelly Argues Piers Morgan Has Not Been 'Cancelled' As Pair Clash In Cancel Culture Debate

"You’re not cancelled though! That’s the thing."...Lorraine Kelly tried to prove to Piers Morgan that he hadn’t been “cancelled” as he made an appearance on her chat show on Thursday....The former Good Morning Britain presenter returned to ITV for the first time since his infamous exit from the channel’s breakfast show last year to promote his new talkTV series Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Back in March 2021, Piers departed GMB after calling into question Meghan Markle’s claims that she’d experienced suicidal thoughts during her time as a senior royal....He later revealed ITV bosses had asked him to apologise for his comments or leave GMB, with Piers opting to stand by his words and exit the show....Piers has since landed a show on new station talkTV, which he says will aim to “cancel the cancel culture” that saw him forced to leave his previous job....

“But you’re not cancelled though! That’s the thing,” she insisted. People say that you’re cancelled, but you’ve got this massive show coming up.”

....Piers responded: “Lorraine, I do and I’m thrilled and excited about it, but I was cancelled from Good Morning Britain, because I did not want to leave and I was told, ‘You’ve got to apologise or leave’ – that is what cancel culture is....Sharon Osbourne was cancelled from her show simply for saying I had the right to an opinion, and I just think society has got to get a grip of this....I respect your opinion, but we should be allowed to have different opinions and this woke mob have decided that only your opinions can be tolerated, and if you deviate one iota from it, then you will have to be destroyed. They’re not liberal, they’re a new form of fascist and I’m not going to let them get away with it...."

Again, Piers Morgan was formerly a blood hound for the left. There were times he'd go full tribal and savage. Then he got 'cancelled' Then all those former left leaning MSM outlets turned their back on him. Only his long standing name recognition and ability to draw in an audience helped him survive ( much like Rogan and Chappelle and Gervais and a few others have managed to pull through)

The cancel culture is just blood lust. The only survivors are not fellow liberals, but the handful that have such powerful established platforms that they can adjust and keep moving forward. Very few people have that option. Very few people could have survived what Joe Rogan escaped from and battled through.

Morgan tried to cancel Shapiro, then nearly a decade later, Shapiro gave Morgan a chance to get his voice out into the public sphere again to a US audience.

As I always say, everyone has their name on the cancel culture list, just some are written a little further down.

Here's something you probably haven't considered, if the radical left and establishment Democrats wipe out all the Conservatives and Republicans, someone will end up being the new "right wing" to be persecuted and hunted down.

What if it's your kids? Someone you love? Someone who helped you in the past and you know is a good person? What if it's you?

"Everyone laughs until they realize they are standing in front of a mirror"  - GordonGekko

 
Also when people  speak derogatory of liberals, they usually mean the left.   

Liberals are the lefts useful  idiots.   Because they get the bullet  too.    Usually  first.

 
Again, Piers Morgan was formerly a blood hound for the left. There were times he'd go full tribal and savage. Then he got 'cancelled'
I've always thought Morgan was conservative. I never paid much attention to him, so I could be wrong. But I thought he was the token conservative on CNN.

 
Please stop using language like this if you expect me to continue engaging with you.

Oh, and perhaps you should consider this:

Biden and Fauci SUED For Coercing Big Tech To CENSOR Dissent


My apologies. If you'd like to defend your previous statement about how the left are the ones pushing censorship in light of the many, many, many examples to the contrary, please feel free to do so. One favor though- can you do it through articles about things of consequence rather than 11 minute videos about irrelevant actions?  Suing someone is meaningless. I could sue you for censorship if I wanted. I'd lose of course, but so will these people.
