However you want to interpret 'personal entitlement', that is also definitely a problem of the Republicans and 1%, who want to support greed, guns, restruction of human rights, mistreatment of others, all for their own personal entitlements

And assuming that all trans people are the same is obviously a non-starter

Well they're all nuts, so what more do you want? And about personal entitlement: of course it's everywhere, but at least the right has the decency to not stoop so low as to claim something like "I'm not getting my way, therefore I am oppressed, therefore YOU OWE ME EVERYTHING I WANT." Which is essentially what the far left power politics are all about.

Which is why the left is so horribly dangerous: they will claim it's about human rights, equality, diversity, choice, freedom, underrepresented or marginalized people, etc. when in fact it's all about throwing a giant, never-ending tantrum until they get everything they want. And because they are insane, there is simply no pleasing these people, and so they are - unwittingly, I believe - bent on destroying the world until they feel they've made everybody equal.

But that "equality" only happens long after we live in an amplified version of Orwell's 1984, with its boot stamping down on a human face - FOREVER. Will they be satisfied once they're living under such a regime? Doubtful! And yet, that's the direction they're steering the world, under the guidance of the eternally subhuman master parasite, the Jew.

OK - I see your point about these problems with the left. Indeed, I support Bernie, but I don't agree with him about free education, deletion of all student debt, and other giveaways. Though the US can afford it (and spend less on the military, for example), the political establishment would never approve it. And thus it's a waste of time to propose this kind of legislation. Also, the banks are way too powerful in D.C. But Social Security - that's much more than an 'entitlement'. It's my money, and your money, put there for retirement. Reagan's Admin was the first to take money from Social Security, and the cuts to similar programs developed thereafter. This really pisses off those of us who appreciate what the New Deal has done for the US, as we watch the Republicans dismantle all of it. I'm not sure - perhaps I'm getting off topic. But my main point is that the 99% should be our focus, and I don't see the Republicans - historically - focusing on the 99%. In fact, quite the opposite. Thus we have to work with a corrupt system for political solutions that will start to help the 99%. For example, the $15 minimum wage seems to be agreed by both parties. Strange that Manchin killed that part of the recent bill. But again, I digress....

Counter point: guns are really fun.

Indeed - for most of us.
