As a Bay Area (born and raised) liberal (former) Democrat, I really don’t like left politics anymore. Why? In some ways, the left is becoming even MORE intolerant than the “backwards” right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I can speak as a liberal who grew up in uber-leftist Bay Area (East Bay). Being born in 1988, I’ve witnessed the evolution of political correctness and also the evolution of notions of “tolerance”, “equality”, and so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now with Bay Area liberal politics, you’re not “allowed” (tolerated) to have differing opinions. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
For example let’s say I’m from the Bay and I support Trump (I don’t), but if this were the case… I would not be “allowed” to be a Trump supporter in public. It wouldn’t be tolerated. If I openly admitted or shared I were a Trump supporter in Berkeley, I’d probably get burned at the cross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My view and vision of tolerance <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Tolerance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t like your opinion or way of thinking, but as long as your thinking and actions aren’t violent or incite violence, I will bear with your views. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
This is true tolerance. A society with the maximal amount of tolerance is the best society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
