No dearth of lunacy in Leftie Land.
It's the result of our distorted reality due to public policy of equality and fairness. For those who lived before the policy was in place and functional, the stupidity is apparent. But only because these people have a perspective of how things were before without the policy that distorted the base reality.
Once someone is born after a policy has already been put in place, the distortion on reality this policy brings is not known. There is no knowledge of the distortion a policy has on reality, because they have no experience of how things were before the policy.
So in a way it's best if our government stopped making so many policies, because the distortion they are making are making people really stupid.
It's why no one has common sense. Common sense is based on understanding reality. How can you establish a sense of what is common, when you live in a distorted reality based on policies distorting what is naturally supposed to be happening.
This has caused political correctness to replace common sense.
