Is the Tory party actually on a mission to alienate every single voter in the country

[Monty92]

My glw, who has the misfortune of working amongst ordinary people - including, I suppose, so-called millenials, tells me that all these transers, radical feminists and Muslim apologists exist only on the pages of The Guardian, that I take too much notice of them, and that the people in her office, on the train and in restaurants and cafés are still sane.

You're calling my glw a liar.

I think she's right to a point, except that her assessment of your every day person being sane is not quite the full story. They are sane, but they are influenced by our culture through osmososis and reflexively support what they are told is 'progressive' while not really questioning it. They are also permanently told that we must accept other people's life experiences as to not do so is intolerant and arrogant. Of course, this sounds reasonable until 'acceptance' becomes something far beyond basic good manners and tactfulness.

In other words, they are useful idiots, and their tepid, apathetic endorsement serves to validate the entire movement.
