I did not watch any of these videos. I decided your purpose could only be to troll people you regard as liberal.
The problem I have with all this liberal bashing is that most of us do not spend time self identifying as anything. We simply respond to things, events, policies, ideologies, etc. out of our entire life experience. For instance, I believe our Interior Department under Trump is acting against the spirit behind the creation of public lands. But, that just comes out of me freely, and may be a combination of nature and nurture. There have been all kinds of studies seeking to explain why liberals are liberal, why conservatives are conservative, including weighing nature vs. nurture in the development of what may simply reflect personality types. Yet, individuals simply grow up in the environments in which they grow up, and react to things in ways that don't really call for self reflection. For instance, I may regard myself as an environmentalist, but I don't try to figure out, by examining my entire life from birth to the present, "when did I 'become' an environmentalist?"
I recognize I support more liberal causes then conservative. But what am I really? I'm just myself, reacting to things in ways that are most comfortable to me.
You have posted two threads recently, one involving a conservative pamphleteer being attacked on a campus, and one involving a personality on Comedy Central, in which you have said "this is the Left". Yet, in both cases, it was not some abstraction called "the Left", but rather the individuals involved. You have the habit of taking individual events and simply applying those actions as a blanket description of an abstraction called "The Left". When in fact the individuals involved bear responsibility for their own actions, and always will. An abstraction did not punch the pamphleteer, an individual did.
It may be a good thing for people to self examine, to seek to "know thyself", but I have just been me, and I suspect most of us are in that position. I never really spent anytime trying to figure out where I fit on a political spectrum. My beliefs simply emerge naturally. Both nature and nurture may be involved, but one simply lives one's life without trying to figure out why one believes what one believes.

Thats so ridiculous. I know exactly where you are going with that.
Its gonna send you right down the alt right nazi rabbit hole. Next thing you know you are on some kkk channel.
Ya, because only nazi's and the kkk can have conservative view points.
The left is so retarded. Anything right of Karl Marx is the alt right kkk now.
Good luck with continuing that mantra. You guys think its doing good things for your cause, but its not. Normal people are getting sick of it. Sick enough to elect Trump another 4 years.
Lighten up. I watched you're moderately funny videos.
