Do you see any one affiliated with the right trashing liberal College's, burning down portions of cities, rioting with police, tearing down statues, entering political rally's and taking over the stage, overwhelming security and chasing guest speakers off stages and so forth? You hear them because they aren't really needed on the right.(03-11-2018, 04:29 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(03-11-2018, 10:13 AM)David Horn Wrote: Actually, voting is one area that youth are actually better prepared than their elders, because it's less emotional to begin with.

Hmm. Blue voting and blue politics seem to be more driven by emotion and more reliant upon emotion. I see a lot of emotion being used in politics on the left side. I see political gatherings that remind me of pep rally's associated with my youth/ younger days. I've seen airheads and idiots who didn't seem to understand or recognize the seriousness of the issues at hand or the issues that were at stake at the time.
The SJWs are the left's version of the Trumpists, so yes, both sides do it. The biggest difference is centrality. The GOP has swallowed the fear mongering and nativist nonsense from the Trump team, hook, line and sinker. If that becomes the baseline attitude in the Democratic Party as well, then we have real troubles ahead.
FWIW, there are voices on the left fighting back against this tendency on that side. I don't hear those voices on the right.
