Modern progressives shut themselves off from any ideas they don’t already agree with, making it impossible for them to discern whether what they believe is true or not.
Of course this is also true of many religious conservatives. It’s just now equally true of those on the far left.
On any topic you want to pick it's typically the radical right wing who have their fingers in their ears.
This isn’t hard to grasp.
I don’t care about immigration either way, I don’t have an axe to grind.
I’m not reflecting this idea, of course, because I’m a progressive. It does seem a bit imaginary, though.
I consider myself to be a progressive and am more than happy to critique "lefty stuff" all day long. I know I'm not alone in that regard.
Try me.
