It's more than that, though. The secularization of politics on the left has been generally a good thing but has had some unforeseen results, where the void has been filled by what is essentially a new, secular religion of left wing dogma that's held equally sacred as any religious precepts and against which blasphemies are even more stridently punished. This is a habit of mind that's inherent in our imperfectly evolved brains, apparently. They fill a psychological need, so we fall into this same pattern, just with different sacred objects.

So, Bush and the GOP weren't just bad, they were evil, morally bankrupt people and we were morally superior. People will behave terribly, and take their beliefs to insane extremes if they truly believe their cause is the right one. It's a short hop from that to just labeling people as the "bad people" and thereby not having to listen to or engage their evil evil views.

This is obviously a hobby horse for Cliffletcher and myself, but it's becoming a real schism on the left. Ora's about to launch new shows with Gad Saad and Lalo Dagach, so I'm guessing we're not the only ones banging this drum. We ####ed up, now it's time to fix this before we turn into something just as bad as the right has down south.
