This story illustrates the problem that even a “to each his own” sort like myself has with the progs: their totalitarianism. My easy toleration of their strange ways, which I consider a great kindness to them, is not even close to sufficient for them. No, they want me to “celebrate” their lifestyle choices and to imitate them, to become them, to have my individuality obliterated by the progressive Blob.
Well, like my Daddy always used to say, people in Hell want ice water, too.
I like the term ‘progs” for these cretins. They switch into tolerant mindset only when caught in their true ways. The rest of the time they are control freaks using projection and stereotypes against anyone who disagrees with them.
Very, VERY well said!
