Leftists Like Labels

The left likes labels. They like them a lot. Say or do something that irritates a liberal/progressive/Democrat and you will quickly be labeled. "Racist, homophobe, transophobe, xenophobe, xenoglossophobe, misogynist," etc. These and other terms (labels) are thrown out daily by the left simply because you may have a different opinion or belief than they do.

Do you believe all lives matter? You're a racist. Do you believe people should provide identification to vote? That's racist too. Joe Biden said so. Are you opposed to being forced to embrace all things LGBTQ or do you believe there are only two genders? Do you support and embrace traditional marriage? You're a bigot, a homophobe or a transophobe... or maybe all three.

Do you believe people should follow our immigration laws and enter the country legally? You're a xenophobe. Do you believe all Americans should speak English and/or that English should be our official language? Well then... you're a xenoglossophobe. Yes - it's a real word.

Do you believe abortion on demand is wrong? You're obviously a misogynist.

Leftists love to label. It's one of their specialties.

There are some labels that apply to leftists as well. In my lifetime I have watched them go from fairly reasonable to progressive socialists. Some are even communists. And they're fanatics... climate change fanatics, abortion fanatics, anti-gun fanatics, race fanatics... the list is long.

There is actually a word for their gun hatred. Hoptlophobia - a morbid fear of guns. Many leftists can be labeled hoptophobes. They have a completely irrational hatred of guns, based solely on the appearance of the gun, without knowing anything about them. They call certain guns "assault weapons" and "weapons of war" because they think they look scary.

Democrat politicians think accessories like a front hand grip, a barrel shroud or the size of a magazine make a gun more dangerous. That's absurd. But they actually put those things in a gun control bill. Thankfully the bill went nowhere.

There is no label for people who label others. The best label I can come up with is liberal progressive. Take a real close look at those people who are throwing around derogatory labels. I guarantee ninety percent of them will be leftists.
