Interesting analysis.
If you are going to suggest the desire for equality is evil then the same can be done for the rights desire of individual freedoms.
If you take the desire for individual freedoms to the extreme that means, as Rand Paul suggested, the need for discrimination laws is unnecessary. The "free market" will decide.
If you take the desire for smaller government to the extreme there would be US citizens completely uneducated, homeless, and starving to death on our streets.
Of course, if individual freedoms really mattered gay marriage (2 consenting adults) would not be an issue.
I can continue because making either equality or individual freedom a negative is foolish.
Actually, this video does a good job of defining this very issue. It doesn't without suggesting either side is trying to hurt our country.

Not at all. Individual freedoms leave you able to succeed or fail on your own efforts and merit. Equality of the group or society as the Left wants are the politics of envy (one of the mortal sins). That is, others are working harder and have more than you and you are envious of them but don't want to (or can't) put in that effort to gain the same benefits (often because of sloth, another mortal sin).
Anything taken to extremes usually is bad. Moderation is often best. Here, moderation and laws against discrimination, unfair business practices (like monopolies), that sort of thing do need regulation. The playing field should be level, but it's your choice as to how much you want to play.If you take the desire for individual freedoms to the extreme that means, as Rand Paul suggested, the need for discrimination laws is unnecessary. The "free market" will decide.
That happens in any society. History shows that Socialist governments actually create more of that. Look at the most recent failure: Venezuela.If you take the desire for smaller government to the extreme there would be US citizens completely uneducated, homeless, and starving to death on our streets.
Different issue. Ones like this are social issues. They are things society decides outside of basic Rights. Marriage, LGBTPDQRST acceptance or nonacceptance, human sacrifice-- whatever are things society decides to make legal or illegal. Drugs and such are another such thing.Of course, if individual freedoms really mattered gay marriage (2 consenting adults) would not be an issue.
Forcing artificial equality based on measurable aspects of people is what is wrong and that's what the Left does. Too smart? You can't have more education than the idiots get. That would be unequal. Too capable physically? All jobs are available to everyone, you get no special consideration so you abilities go unused in the name of fair and equal.I can continue because making either equality or individual freedom a negative is foolish.
No, it doesn't. It explains the various political segments and groups as they exist in America today. That doesn't really define empirically how things work politically.Actually, this video does a good job of defining this very issue.

The sin seen in the foul language of the lefty’s posts smh need new🫀s
Your attitude assumes we don't live in a society. On Survivor your attitude works. I personally care about my neighbor and recognize i benefit when they are healthy economically and physically.
You also assume all are born to the same opportunity. That is not true. I am progressive not because of the adults (secondary) but their children (primarily). I want the social programs to ensure the kids are safe.

My position is I shouldn't be expected to give money to my neighbor because he's unemployed, or has a crappy job, or isn't too bright. Those are his problems, not mine. Society doesn't benefit by giving largesse to the undeserving or ungrateful just because they demand it. Government enforced altruism doesn't work.
I put safety third. I want kids to grow up with skinned knees from riding skateboards or a bike, let them be "free range" and explore the world, and have schools that teach them not just academics but things that are exciting and practical too.You also assume all are born to the same opportunity.

The takeaway quote from that is "My job is to make you rich, not get you home alive. You want to get home alive? That's on you."
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
W/out a foundation will the rest of your argument stand??
Always simpletons accuse their rivals of crimes, which they themselves obviously partake.........
Only difference is who is to gain from it....
the gop & the dem party both use the government as a means to secure their power, which for the most part is merely an extension of wallstreet & monied interests......
One is as guilty as shit as the other....... THEY BOTH USE REGULATIONS & ANY/ALL OTHER FORMS OF PERSUATION THEY CAN MUSTER TO FURTHER THEIR AIMS & STIMIE THEIR COMPETITORS........
