How Do the Enlightened Argue and Treat Their Opposition?

Isn’t this objectification of people exactly what the “Right” was said to have done to minorities and women in the past? Isn’t this behavior supposed to make us so angry at the Right now that we can’t take them seriously?

So, why is this dehumanization Good now? Because the Left does it? Because it is done now under the “politically correct” template?

If something is Wrong, it is wrong. There should be no Double Standard.

I would propose that this kind of dehumanization is the enemy of the common Good at all times and therefore is never enlightened. I would propose that, if people do it, we should question whether they are actually enlightened.

Why can’t we pick and choose the best from the Right and Left? Why does the hard Left, in particular, fail to see any value in the positions on the Right?

Does the Right truly have nothing of value to offer America any longer? Is it truly composed of nothing but greedy, stupid racists who are no longer entitled to a say in the American direction?

I wish all of life were so simple!

Frankly, I would like to see us mix the social justice and environmental awareness of the Left with the economic freedom and vibrancy of the Right.
