This portion strikes very true. We see it all the time.....”racist, bigoted, uneducated, undereducated, morons, inappropriate, unacceptable, etc”
Pressing a political view from the Oscar stage, declaring a conservative campus speaker unacceptable, flatly categorizing huge segments of the country as misguided — these reveal a tremendous intellectual and moral self-confidence that smacks of superiority. It’s one thing to police your own language and a very different one to police other people’s. The former can set an example. The latter is domineering.
This judgmental tendency became stronger during the administration of President Barack Obama, though not necessarily because of anything Mr. Obama did. Feeling increasingly emboldened, liberals were more convinced than ever that conservatives were their intellectual and even moral inferiors. Discourses and theories once confined to academia were transmitted into workaday liberal political thinking, and college campuses — which many take to be what a world run by liberals would look like — seemed increasingly intolerant of free inquiry.
This is true about many republicans.
It can be true about both parties but I see it more from one side on here. You probably see it just the opposite but I don’t see many, if any, republicans or conservatives using these words to describe democrats or liberals.
.”racist, bigoted, uneducated, undereducated, morons, inappropriate, unacceptable, etc”
That goes to the parts I made larger in the paragraphs.
