This person's obvious hatred of anyone who isn't as far Left (I believe they call it "progressive", but that's for another post and another time) as they are is palpably obvious based on their posts. I'm NOT that far left, (not even close) and would almost certainly be grouped in with Nazis and Klansjerks by this person.<br>So why did they reach out with a connection request? I don't know. Maybe they're looking for a new victim to browbeat so they can feel morally superior? Maybe they think that if I see enough hatred of &lt;insert any group here&gt; I'll start to feel the same? (That's the same tactic used by WS groups, Nazis, and the Klan, by the way...)<br>I'm just unsure of the motives, there, and that's why I rejected that connection. I've rejected others for similar reasons.<br>Perhaps I need to re-visit my profile and make it clear that I don't support hate, no matter which side of which aisle it comes from.</p>
