And intolerant of the criminal in the White House.

I found the full version and watched it. That Meathead is such a hothead. He gets bossy with Gloria all the time.

I've grown to really dislike liberals, thanks to social media such as this one. Whereas previously, I believed they were kind but naive with their "let's help others" policies, I now have seen how they look upon (and treat) people who disagree with them - with complete contempt and despicable insults. They are intolerant and hateful, and basically consider anyone who fails to fall lockstep behind the liberal agenda as an inferior life form worthy of disdain - sort of the way Hitler viewed the Jews.

What did you disagree about that made you feel like they disdained you?

The core left has always been intolerant. They sold tolerance and liberalism to the right to

undermine mostly selfless legitimate moral/religious concerns.

Now that that morality/religion (and selflessness) are pretty much dead,

they no longer need to pretend to advocate for "freedom for all" or stoic empathy.

Quite the opposite, the hideous snarky face of the left is that of the eternal adolescent.

Petty, absolutist, impulsive, perverted, ruled by emotion, vengeful, hypocritical, .

Disdainful of "truth" or the rights of the others if they impede progress towards the goal of their current fancy.

Shallow spoiled imbecilic and passionately vindictive. Truly dangerous animals.

There are countless examples, here and on other forums. One that comes to mind was when I said I thought we should abolish affirmative action based on race and instead base it on income. Much more fair, and it would still give people, black or white, a "bump up" in opportunities if they came from poor families. For that, I was called a racist POS, a neo-Nazi, accused of marching in Charlottesville, and all sorts of other hateful stuff.

You just likened whoever to Nazi as well. I'd say that evens the score.

Don't hold your breath -it's not there. I suspect that fewer than 5 or 6 posters bothered to even try to read the linked article and are merely reacting to the OP's flawed description.

Prejudice, in and of itself, is a defense mechanism useful for survival going back to our cave-dwelling ancestors. Being prejudiced against a saber-toothed cat was beneficial. Preconceived notions or opinions are not always wrong in certain conditions. Sometimes these ideas are backed up by research. The article cites a study...

"People also spontaneously stereotype groups on the basis of the groups’ social status (Koch et al., 2016).... Conservatives tend to support values and policies that maintain inequality more than liberals do (Graham, Haidt, & Nosek, 2009; Sidanius & Pratto, 2001)..."

So there is a confirmatory research finding that a widely presumed Liberal prejudice or stereotype against Conservatives due to their preferred policy outcomes that foster inequality is rooted in reality and is a correct understanding of Conservatives' motives and ideology.

So President Trump is a liberal.
