It's crazy to me how many Americans think that political differences are like having a preference for pizza over hamburgers.

Politics exists as some kind of ideological exercise that floats around in the ether as opposed to a way to exert power over people.

Surely, they can recognize that if they got everything they wanted politically, some people would be unhappy.

Like, if I got everything I wanted politically, chuds would be fucking pissed. I would understand why they hate me. I wouldn't sit there like a deer in the headlights wondering, "hmm, why are they so worked up about my political beliefs? 🤔"

Tbf I think once they felt the material improvements to their lives, a lot of them would come around.

If I got what I wanted a lot of them would be too busy re-wilding forests and rivers and shit, and some others would be compost so altogether incapable of getting pissed. What I'm saying is that my way is objectively cool and good and we should do it

trump-enlightened but they'll experience the zen of being one with piss

Some, probably. But so many have a stick up their ass, they'd never ever let it go.

They brag that they are more politically tolerant than the left. And even that isn't true. Sure over a dinner we'd be more likely to tell em to fuck off but that would be because the most "offensive" thing the left would say is that lgbt folks should have rights. They keep saying racist and batshit things that end up having terrible consequences in the long term. How they act like its all the same is crazy

They have the invisible weight of cultural hegemony on their side. The stupid shit they say is just normal to them.

Like fish not knowing what water is.

[–] policywonk@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

this is why they can call trans people mentally ill pedophiles and then turn around and say they aren't bigoted, just "saying facts".

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

“Just facts”

And then they call us “elitist” for showing them actual studies on why they’re wrong. They’re entire ideology is pretentious smuggery.

They’re both too stupid and too arrogant to argue with.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

Exactly. Just normal to say skull measuring shit. "Common sense". Then they say oh nation went too far left we're returning to normal. Like when the majority disagreed with interracial marriage? That wasn't long ago matter fact in 200p some places it was illegal

[–] policywonk@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they assume that everyone is out to hurt as many people as possible like they are

They are unable to conceive of the fact that their opponents are not as vindictive and cynical as them

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago

Political bigotry lol

Yes I hate you for being a conservative, and I’ll never apologize for it.

These are the people that were calling us sensitive snowflakes for the last half decade.

Can they grow up?

Our side is persecuted and literally everyone loves their overrated asses, but you don’t see me whining about it.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

Even when making a mountain out of a molehill they can't help but do it passive aggressively

Jesus Christ. Sometimes I seriously wish for a hell, because reactionaries would all go there.
