From civil rights to civic disobedience it amazes the hell out me how quickly Democrats and liberals have turned into government bootlicking little statists.

Democrats and liberals have always been government worshippng statists. Their whole political philosophy is based around it actually.

Idk. In the past, not so much as a whole. Plenty of Democrats have shunned government intervention when it harmed them. That's the way it used to be.

communism, socialism, leftism, progressivism is all based on govt being the end all be all - greater than any man and even greater than God himself.

As compared to Republicans, who are government boot licking little statists, or the alt-right, who are goverment bootlicking little statists who call everyone a "pedophile" because pedophiles are the only group of people universally more vile than the alt-right.

I don't disagree with you so much as that I take a sort of offense that instead of calling out Democrats you instead chose to shine a light on filthy bootlicking republicans as a scape goat.

yeah they are wrong but look at those guys!

it's a weak argument and one that deserves ridicule.
