Intensely Illiberal Liberals..

Nothing Is More Liberal Than Sexual Slavery

So Trump is now President Elect, and lots of Democrats are losing their shit over it. Strangely though, all of the protesters look extremely happy. 
"I hate him so much it fills me with joy!"
Rather than get drunk with a gang of friends and set things on fire like so many young people did in Chicago and Los Angeles, I shall relay some useful information about how the Democrats can actually win the next election instead. 
Its very simple folks.

You need to get rid of the mad-bastards like this....

"Nothing says progressive like caving a sluts head in with a brick!"

"Hillary won, OJ was innocent, and my spelling is impeccable."



"I am all for women's rights.... the right to marry me when they are six years old!"

"And asking someone for their phone number is rape."
... and replace them with the logical, centrist, left-leaning New Democrats that emerged after the 1988 Presidential Election.

So where to start?

For openers, centrists needs to combat the idiots in their own party before they take aim at the Republicans.

 Or the Russians.

Passionate Democrats must be willing to reign in the far-left, destroy the illiberal liberals, and return to the centrist but left-leaning, common sense Democratic Party of 2008/2012.
This doesn't mean you are right of center. It simply means you are taking positive steps to drag the party back to the middle-ground, the middle-ground that always wins elections.

I am a socially liberal, typically very progressive person.
And yet come the election, I had one foot in the Trump camp because of the endless identity politics of the regressive left.

"Just because they pray 5 times a day, recite the Qu'ran, and fucking love Allah.. doesn't mean it's got anything to so with Islam"
I spent fifteen years criticizing the Republicans. It started when Bush proclaimed "You are either with us or you are against us" (ignoring the fact that France, Spain, and Mexico have little interest in murdering American citizens) back in 2001 and it continued throughout the Obama administration.

 Every shrill cry when Obama said something in fun, and the Republicans went “Arg! He’s a Muslim!” or he bowed to a head of state “Arg! He hates America!” made me cringe and say “are we really so childish?”
And then at some point in 2016, many Democrats suddenly started being just as silly.

A quip about making your ill relatives vote “He’s like a warped serial killer!” a bad sexist joke “Arg! He HATES all women!” a childish mocking of a reporter “he loathes the disabled” an uncouth comment about Illegal immigration “he despises Mexicans!”
Is life really so black and white? Do we ever act so judgmental and paint in such broad brushes in the real world?

 So he made some crass comments about a handicapped guy at a rally, not nice. But does anyone actually think it makes him "Literally Hitler" or warrant a headline like this?

"What do you mean hyperbole? He mocked a disabled guy once, of course he is going to stuff everyone with a limp in the gas chambers!"
 The endless, authoritarian use of language policing are ridiculous too (ever hear about Jordan Peterson?) the obscene demands for "safe-spaces" and "trigger-warnings" at centers of learning when anything more controversial than wallpaper is being discussed.

 The idea that little white girls having dreadlocks is disgustingly offensive, that only Chinese people should eat Chinese food, that absolutely everything is mean spirited or “cultural appropriation.”

"You know who else had hair? Hitler."
Incredibly, the regressive left even go all in for "hate speech" if the offender's actions were done with no base or hateful intentions at all. Indeed, sometimes the "offender" was attempting to do the exact opposite (Benedict Cumberbatch saying what were ultimately very nice things about black people but still being despised for it.)

"Must dash ladies, I'm off to push a black man down some stairs"
The move from equity feminism to “manspreading” and “mansplaining” and blatant misandry. Plenty of women put their bags next to them to avoid sharing a seat, you don't see foaming mobs of hairy men founding the "bitch-bagging" movement and demanding women give up their driving licenses.

Which incidentally is what they actually do in Saudi Arabia.. but let's not discuss that, because it upsets third-wave feminists.
The idea that as a straight white man, I must be endlessly polite to people who constantly dehumanize me, and label me, and are so quick to reduce me to an -ism without any evidence or merit. That's pretty silly as well. Its identity politics isn't it?

 Tens of millions of straight white guys are loving husbands, doting fathers, and general stand-up chaps. Why must we be cool with generic insults towards straight white men when we spend so much time talking about the dangers of broad sweeping statements about absolutely everybody else? That whole "Resolutions for White Guys" video by MTV was one of the most cringeworthy things I have ever seen. Does anybody not see the glaring hypocrisy of such a flagrant use of identity politics?

 If anyone was unlucky enough to miss it first time around.... enjoy!

"Tune in next week for Lesbians: They All Love Cock Really." 
The idea that words are assaults, that edgy jokes are hate crimes, and that the occasional use of sentences like “that’s a bit gay” means that you want to ban gay marriage and force those born with a different sexual orientation to enter the gulags.
That totally logical and entirely reasonable criticisms of bronze-age theology are “racist” (The ignorant and intolerant treatment towards the endlessly polite Sam Harris at the hands of Ben Affleck.)

The idea that wearing a Halloween costume from a culture you weren't born into means that you support internment camps.

"And after the party, I shall fly to Liberia and burn down an orphanage." 
And The final nail in the coffin for me, was the ceaseless partisan nonsense pushed by Google, Twitter, and Facebook. The incessant authoritarian behavior of a flagrantly biased mainstream and social media saw me slowly begin to hate a left I have always identified with.
Indeed, the past 12 months quickly pushed me from being a passionate and vocal Sanders supporter, to an ambivalent Trump supporter.
And in the aftermath of the election, more of the same. Endless hatred for “white men” despite the fact that Trump won more of the Hispanic vote than Romney (29%) a fair number of black people (8-10%) hundreds of thousands of gay people, and tens of millions of college educated women (42%). Nobody wins an election in a vacuum, so why is all the blame being laid at the door of straight white guys?
I’m pretty sure millions of people that either wrote someone in, or even went for Trump, probably see the world like me too. The authoritarian left, mainstream media, and every major social media platform all played their part. Everyone loves an underdog, and with almost every platform, paper, and media group ceaselessly attacking Trump for the last 9 months, absurdly it almost felt like the crass, arrogant, privileged billionaire was the one we should be rooting for.

 Basically, 2017 needs to see the death of the Social Justice Warrior. If these extremely illiberal liberals are not shown the door, the Democrat party is going to be shown the door too.

"Preventing slavery is racist!!" 

 I may not like Donald Trump, but I'm not about to join a fruity cult just to support the alternative....
