Of course, Eric did not do that, but instead launched a massive diatribe to which he applied every right wing and libertarian stereotype possible to me and emphatically stated what (he assumes) my beliefs and positions to be. The funny thing is that he couldn't be farther from the truth but he is a prisoner to the false dichotomy of liberal / conservative. More to it, he certainly falls into the pattern that, while common on both "sides", is certainly more pronounced on the left of demanding blind obedience to a set of doctrines and one is either for "us" and by extension every one of those doctrines or against "us".
He, and those who think that way are their own worst enemies.
Don't assume that the people you were talking about me with, have any of the virtues they claim.
How could I demand any obedience from you? I do not have that power.
You are the one who made the references you did to non-white people.
It is your opinion that the liberal/conservative dichotomy is false. I think it is true, by and large. That doesn't make me a prisoner to anything. It just means I disagree with your views. Are you denying that you are a libertarian? That would be as useless as me denying that I am liberal, wouldn't it?
Just to clarify my post above: I didn't mean to say all whites in flyover country are stupid. That's absurd exaggeration. But voting for Trump was a stupid decision, as I see it.
