Okay, but so what? The "American Right" is aging fast, and their kids are becoming who they wish to be, not what their parents chose for them. For some reason, you just can't accept that people have the right to be not-you.
I suggest that you flip this around and directly apply to yourself because it actually relates to you more than me. Yes, I have the right to not be you and the right to not think like you and the right to not view things/issues the same way as you as well. Yes, I have been demonstrating that to you and other blues for many years. Isn't that the primary issue that blues are having/facing with the American electorate these days at the national level.
Feel free to be whatever and whoever you wish. At your age, it's unlikely that you would change your mind, and it's not that important to me, or society, that you do. So, in your estimate, why do you think we on the left are so determined to do that? It falls right into the arguments you make that we're trying to impose communism on the US, and they make no sense either.
I never expect my children or grandchildren to be other than who they are. If I can't win them over by the strength of my arguments and the evidence of how the world works, it may be time for another change. I know that the pendulum swings, and the ever changing generational center of gravity is what triggers it. If I have no expectations and make no demands on my own, why should I care about you?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
