Liberals and the American Idiocracy

Being ‘liberal’ is still generally considered a good thing. After all, the traditional definition of a liberal revolved around being tolerant, open-minded, generous and empathetic. There are very, very few Americans today who fit that definition, especially those who self-identify as ‘leftists.’
Liberals today can better be defined as social justice warriors, as many ‘conspiracy theorists’ have started referring to them as. SJWs are primarily concerned with controlling thought, speech, and behavior. They are interested in restricting rights and liberties, not defending or expanding them. They are authoritarian to the core, and more quick to turn to violence than the most alcoholic rednecks are in their prime. They love shouting and name-calling.
SJWs are responsible for decreeing that only black lives matter, and react to the logical rejoinder that all lives matter by calling it ‘racist.’ In recent years, we have been told that brown paper lunch bags are ‘racist.’ Now, it seems that flesh-colored band-aids are ‘racist,’ too. In the U. K., recently it was determined that correcting someone’s grammar is actually ‘racist.’ Any criticism of Barack Obama, even references to him being angry, have been called ‘racist.’ I was chastised by an SJW on Facebook for citing the fraudulent nature of the official unemployment figures because to do so was being ‘racist.’
