That used to be somewhat of a life philosophy of people on the left.

What happened?

Apropos to what?

Holding police to account, questioning the American government backed state of Israel - seems like questioning authority to me?

The cop thing is just racial virtue signaling.

The Israel thing is just "Hate America" virtue signaling.

They aren't questioning any real authority.

Based on the original definitions of the left and right, Trump supporters are actually the left -

Oh, got it, you only want the left to question the authority that you deem questionable.

No, that's not what they're doing. They're destroying the institutions of police and organized religion. Don't confuse the actions of today's Left with the left of yesterday. They're not the same, and I would seriously expect that anyone who's politically engaged and older than 30 would know that intuitively.

Barely over 30.

I would argue that the institutions of police and organized religions are the biggest authorities around. I'm not sure what your original post was getting at?

It's amazing that this needs to be pointed out, after the way the Left reacted to the last two elections and the contesting of those elections, isn't it? Short memories, I guess. Or maybe it's just that the Left has no standards, everything they do is in furtherance of acquiring more political power and they just don't care if they're consistent or hypocritical, because truth and integrity aren't Leftist values. Or something.

Seriously?

Think harder. I'm not even going to entertain that nonsense.
