Prickly City by Scott Stantis for May 17, 2018

Ah, true Republiclan. Always finding the dark, conspiratorial, emotionally deadening, exploitive side to every issue and then believe despite all their success they are still the victim somehow.

Also conservatives tend to just be mean, so who wants to hang out with them. Winslow speaks truth.

It’s that authoritarian mindset, as described by Bob Altemeyer (https://theauthoritarians.org/options-for-getting-the-book/)

Odd, isn’t it, that the folks who loudly broadcast their Christianity (which they were told NOT to do by the Man they believe was God Himself) are the angriest, and show no inner peace at all?

Leftists can always be identified in their intolerance of those who think differently, and in their projection of their own lesser-tendencies on those who disagree with them.

Jbmlaw01… This is just past ignorant, it is projection on your part of the worst sort. This is actually an interesting, but deeply flawed rhetorical strategy that ironically demonstrates my point.

Who opposes the LBGT community? Who demonizes immigrants? What party do the intolerant evangelicals belong to? Who casts aspersions on black Americans? Who calls the Nazis very nice people? The regressives are generally intolerant of folks not like them. Th is includes the poor, immigrants, gay people, atheists, pacifist, environmentalists, urban citizens, on and on, projecting onto those who are different. It is that VERY intolerance that upsets progressives. Yes there are excesses on college campuses. But those are young students for goodness sake, not yet fully mature adults.

Of course, in the entire history of the US we have not had as crazy a “leader” as trump—whose very being and persona is built on projecting his deep mental illness onto anyone who challenges him.

Something tells me Winslow is referring to humans as a whole here…
