My comment was born out of some personal experience. I grew up among die-hard liberals in a very liberal city (San Francisco). It was cool to use drugs, and some did very hard drugs in their youth. Now this generation is in charge.
Oh no! No apology needed! I guess I didn’t communicate too well.
I understood what you meant, as I also know some liberals who are substance abusers - and all of them are slackers with no ambition except to vote for ultra lib dems.
They’re the former anti-establishment types, and they’re sort of humorous really if you can have a conversation with them without screaming. Freedom to them means they’re free to sit on the couch all day and still collect a check, and they don’t think anyone has a right to interfere with them doing so. They have no comprehension of what their parents accomplished through physical labor and sacrifice, nor do they care. They believe those of us who carry on the tradition of working for a living are suckers.
However, I also have many liberal family members who are stone sober. They also vote for ultra liberals and I can’t blame their brain disorder on drugs or alcohol, and they’re too old to have been hippies! That was the point I failed at making in my earlier post. Sorry for the confusion.
