    You’re entirely correct in your first sentence. I don’t support the left despite it sharing the majority of my values.

    If I were to generalize, I would say the right is just stupid. But the left has been becoming more and more dangerous with the rise of approval for authoritarianism and “ends justify the means” approach.

    “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
