Maybe the left should do a little introspection

No, I can't say I have.

Conservatives do seem to ponder the liberal's push on certain subjects to all ends to the point of annoying sometimes, but whine? No.

Trump is the leader of the party but no whining? Lol. Ok.

He may have won the race, but he is far from what I define as a conservative. Yes, he whines. ;)

Oh, isn't that useful. Let me try that out.

Any kid on a college campus that want's a safespace or whines isn't a liberal by my definition.

But most are liberals, because liberal indoctrination is to coddled and teach entitlement.

The left gets far worse.

Gloating over a victory is not condescending by default. It is human nature.

What about baseball, basketball, NFL, etc?

Is the gloating after a win, condescending by default?

Too bad our schools aren't classed as a safe place, so liberals will stop indoctrinating kids.

The school systems is condescending on kids of religion, or have other views considered conservative.
 
Here is a new editorial in Nature, that fits the thread:

Academia must resist political confirmation bias

Snippets:



In short, he asserted that many progressives live in bubbles; that they are educationally programmed to be attuned to diversity issues, yet have “shockingly little to say” about political and democratic fundamentals such as class, economics, war and policy issues affecting the common good. Of direct relevance to the US election, he argued that the excessive focus on identity politics by urban and academic elites has left many white, religious and rural groups feeling alienated, threatened and ignored in an unwelcoming environment where the issues that matter to them are given little or no attention.
​



Confirmation bias is rife in all walks of life, including the practice of research and the political viewpoints of academic liberals. No one should kid themselves that they are immune.
​



Kristof also argued that the low and plunging representation of conservatives and evangelicals on US faculties, and bias against these groups, is itself impoverishing intellectual diversity and discourse. He pointed to an effort to change this state of affairs: the Heterodox Academy, a website set up by centrist social psychologist Jonathan Haidt of New York University to advocate tangible remedies. His column did not go down well with liberals. “You don’t diversify with idiots,” stated one of the most highly recommended comments.

Nope. Because apparently I can just define it how I want. Did you not read the post I was responding too?

They may not be, but their actions are at an extremely low maturity level, and they are supported only by liberals.

See, it's that easy to address each as individuals..... ;)

Right so lets take that back to your original assertion about Trump. He's immature and only supported by conservatives. Glad that was cleared up.

False statement. Not only conservatives voted for Trump, regardless of their reasons.
