Why are liberals always so nice? And why do they always expect the best of people? Is this their flaw?

 

I met a friend recently who actually thought that Joe Biden resigned, not because he was being chased and pushed to resign, but that he actually was a decent human being, and felt that it was the moral thing to do, due to his health (and let Kamala take over)!

That is simply ridiculous!  And I thought to myself how anyone could actually think like this? Sure enough, this friend of mine is a liberal and they naturally can't think like that.  They could only think the best of Biden; besides Biden being a career politician for the best part of 50 years, MUST be so self-less, and a person into public service.  My friend literally knows NOTHING about the American political process, and even LESS about just how corrupt the Biden Crime family are.

When I finally told them that Biden was pushed by his fellow Democrats, and that at one time, he had no intention whatsoever to resign, until apparently, Nancy Pelosi had to tell him that his own party would push for the 25th Amendment to be used; he looked shocked.  Honestly!  He was genuinely shocked!

But then they slowly realised that they were wrong and that we were correct with our explanations.  It was a very, strange experience.

At the same time, I appreciated their genuine "goodness".  This particular friend does not really have a mean bone in their body, but, in this case, I simply had to burst their bubble. 

Equally, I watch a lot of GB news; a "far right" TV network in the United Kingdom. 

It's not!  There are a good deal of leftists on the network, but it is then balanced with many from the right, or as I would label it, the Centre / Centre-Right.

On it there is a particular man called Josh Howie, who also suffers from this; I'm so nice type of syndrome - that I find that many from the left suffer from.

Time and time again over the past few years, he's always taken the side that people are good, that people are decent and all they need to do is listen to a certain logical argument and they will change their mind or come to a good, decent decision or viewpoint. And time and time again, he's proven wrong - and at times is exasperated by the Left's intolerance.

My point, that like above, when Howie has been confronted with the facts about things,  normally he changes his mind.  The below shows this:

He is still a Labour (reluctant) supporter, though he has admitted that his vote for them in the British 2024 Parliament election was a mistake.  

But once he saw -

1) Many of the Left are NOT into Free Speech!  (He is)

2) COVID hurt his family / children's education & the vaccines did little, if anything to help.

3) The economy was destroyed, as opposed to a country like Sweden.

4) How he was attacked / cancelled due to his classic liberal views.

And after the above were all proven true, and that we should NEVER have locked down, he changed his mind, and at times the last few years, loses it on his broadcasts.

Who knows, my point is maybe, just maybe, certain people on the Left DO look at facts / other opinions, and will come to a viewpoint that it more aligned to the right.

I don't know if I'll hold my breath though.
