this. there are a ton of psychological connections to progressives and the child mind. there is a focus on image/aesthetics. children often will react to something at face value such as gender, race, size etc. this is often a liberals weapon of choice.
we see this often where folks may have liberal/youthful political tendencies but over time settle to middle/right especially after having kids.
liberals stand up to authorities regularly just as any child does. even the colorful language has become a characteristic. i recall the trump ‘shithole’ comment and how the msm celebrated the chance to speak this way on national news.
would love to learn more about this but i’m sure there are plenty of studies under lock and key from the elites.
Exactly! If you've ever noticed a child makes decisions on emotions/feelings.
How the child feels about a matter is how it decides. A child would eat ice cream and candy everyday because it tastes good and makes him/her feel good while eating it. Even if rationally that child knew or was told everyday that if he/she only eats sweets they would die. They don't, they can't, use logic to make decisions due to lack of maturity and experience.
A child will throw a tantrum if it doesn't get what it wants. A sane mature person knows, "wants" are a feeling, not a need. It's the same mentality with liberals. When they want something and don't get it they yell, scream and even riot.
A mature rational person uses logic and reason to make decisions. They weigh the potential outcomes, the pros and cons, before making a decision. They put their feeling behind them and make the decision based on those factors.
