I’m fascinated and continue to study the left. Meanwhile, it seems the Donald Trump has figured out a way to neuter political correctness. I have problems with some of the way he’s gone about this, however. I yearn for us to come together, but I don’t think that can happen right now.

But looking at the modern left. It seems they want to tear apart Western ideals. You used to be able to debate with the left; now they won’t even come on the show.

I’m starting to tie this back to a generation, who was taught by the generation who were the inventors of critical theory. People like Herbert Marcuse, who invented what we are now seeing in front of us. Conservatives are locked out and tolerance is thrown out the window; oppressive tolerance.

Leftists now tolerate the oppression of free speech. They are now practicing repressive tolerance. Young people are taught that you must tolerate anything from the left; anything that goes against the status quo and traditional Judeo/Christian values.

The left consists of double standards and hidden agendas.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
