This story really defines the difference between radical leftism and just people have a strong political position that they have no problem discussing in detail. The radical leftist cannot separate their political ideology from the rest if their life. It consumes them and it bleeds into every single thing they do. Anyone, anyone at all with a different opinion is considered a threat and must be eliminated. This, in their minds, gives them permission to do anything necessary to remove the threat.
Those with strong opinions can set aside their politics and just take a break from it all. In short, they can go have a bite to eat and not really give a shit who is at the next table. If you can't even stand the sight of a person with an opposing view, so much so that you must find a way to remove them or you have to walk out yourself, you are in fact, more than a little nuts.
Currently in Asia on business...
I just had a wonderfully spirited and drunken ‘debate’ with a complete and total TDS Lefttard.
I enjoy these discussions because I’m an expert debater, not that it was difficult to deflect nearly every ‘point’ this guy was trying to make. From Taxes to Healthcare To Trump is a Nazi, racist, dictator....to Mueller and the Red Hen. It covered every base and the guy only was capable of reading off the CNN script.
Now I can agree with the insane, even when they are correct, and I have no problem ripping Trump on a few of the mistakes he’s made. He couldn’t name a thing that Trump had done right. He was deep down the rabbit hole.
I go to the bar and order some more drinks and I overhear the guy who I was debating leaning over to my friend (who is Mexican and somewhat ambivalent Anti Trump) saying ‘how can you be friends with this guy...I don’t understand people like this...people like this just aren’t right....you are better than this.... etc).
And I confront him and say ‘dude, I’m happy to have a spirited discussion with you about this and I defend your right to believe what you believe but I guess it’s not mutual...you don’t believe I should be able to say that Trump is great and I agree with A lot of what he’s doing...you can’t even discuss with me without throwing up a wall of hate, trying to turn my friend against me’.
He denied saying what I heard him say, like a typical leftist liar. Just rolled his eyes and we carried on.
I didn’t turn the guy, not by a long shot, because his TDS was too strong. But it was another interesting and live exercise showing the intolerance and low intellect of the Left.
