I’m angry this morning.

I feel like I’ve just woken up from a dream where everything I thought I knew about good and evil has been flipped upside down.

Where the good guys were the ones I was told by a liberal media to hate.

And the bad guys… well, it was me.

I judged you and didn’t do any research to learn if I was right or wrong.

I thought I was better than you and I never even met you.

I thought you should be censored because your thoughts were dangerous.

I was polite in public, but I secretly hated you.

I knew deep down that being “good” was more than just using the right pronouns for someone or saying to a group of people you thought Trump was a bad person…

But it’s easier to do that than it is to actually DO good.

I think for me, that’s the #1 thing most people on the right, don’t understand about the left.

On the left, being "good" requires only a checklist of beliefs. If you say you believe in the right things, you are left alone, you pass their test... and are now considered a good person.

It has almost nothing to do with your outward actions.

In a normal world, actions = accountability.

If you do something wrong, I can lovingly correct you, we can argue, we can grow and learn together.

On the left, this dialogue is almost nonexistent.

You either say the right thing or you are biggot, racist, unkind, totally backwards, and on the wrong side of history.

This does not generate growth in a person, it actually generates a bizarre form of morality in which saying the "acceptable things" creates a fictional, moral-forcefield around you.

Dialogue is lost. Dissenters are not tolerated.

Saying things is easy. Doing real good in the world... well, that's really hard.

So, you take the easy path.

This is how many people, who truly mean well, who want to do the right thing, end up caught in an endless loop of ever-increasing posturing and wokeness.

It started from a place of tolerance and kindness, then the goalposts for kindness move and you are left behind.
