No. I think that people rationalize choices they make by exaggerating the negatives of the choices they didn't make.
So that's why you whine so much about liberals.
Yes. Because they constantly exaggerate the danger of free religion, and free speech, and the right to own firearms, and the right to teach your own children what you want, and the right to decide whether to get immunized, or the lack of free health care, or free food, or free housing, or...
See the pattern here? The entire liberal political methodology revolves around exaggerating the danger of not adopting their ideology. What's funny is that on some level, I suspect it's a form of "misery loves company". At some point, people grow up, leave never never land, and realize that liberal ideas don't work. Then one of two things happen. They either become conservative and live happy lives from that point on, or they refuse to accept that they were wrong, double down on their liberal positions, and expend serious effort trying to indoctrinate young people to their positions so that they don't end out alone in their misery and wrongness. And then the cycle of abuse continues.
Or at least, that's how I'm selling it!
