Liberal Shut-Ins

Leftists are so insulated in the little worlds that they have created for themselves, that I would venture to guess they have never feigned to listen to any conservative point of view or source....ever. Conservative people and opinions are as foreign to them as a pair of chopsticks would be to an American Indian in the year 1700.

Conservatives, on the other hand, know liberal points of view so well, because they are literally everywhere, that they can predict left wing arguments and, in fact, argue them better than left wingers can themselves. You may not recall when Pauline Kael said, “I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him,” but think about that comment for a moment. You really have to be one closed minded, insulated, surrounded by like-minded ideological conformity monkeys idiot to say something like that.

The real problem is that the left wants you to remain in your ideological bubble because the less you engage with non-likeminded people, the more the world opens up to you, the more you learn from others, and the more likely you will abandon the oppression bestowed upon you by the propaganda that was designed to brainwash you in the first place. They target the young and isolate them because then it becomes easy to hate the other side when you know nothing about them. A truly honest movement would encourage their followers to actually study the opposing side and devise arguments to counteract their own. Of course, when you are clearly wrong in your belief system then this is not an option...is it?
