“You can’t argue with me because you’re wrong. The very fact that you’re arguing with me proves it.”
This assumptive belief encompasses far more of leftist thought than just the “race issue”.
They believe that their ideological opponents are unworthy of conducting discussion with because they’re immoral, and the proof of their immorality is that they hold an opposing viewpoint.
To arrive at this convoluted reasoning, liberals have this inherent base assumption that since their intentions are “good”, any policy they support must be inherently “good” and moral. Any opposition to those policies is therefore immoral and evil and not worthy of debate.
Yep, and what you’re describing is the same close-mindedness the Left accuses religious “zealots” of having.
