"I was wrong on the tariffs..." but not about calling all of you "...(fairly stupid) partisans..."

The few times I have looked at the conservative subreddit to see what they are posting, I noticed they are always name calling anyone they perceive as left wing - “libtards”, “stupid liberals” “idiot left wingers” etc. Its sad

They always throw in a dig. I assume it's because they don't have anything to back up their arguments.

It’s because that’s Trump’s MO. Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Lyin’ Ted, etc.

He is incapable of mentioning anyone that’s remotely against him without giving them some dumb shit nickname. This has been the norm now for like a fucking decade.

Wasn't the left calling Trump literally a giant orange?

I'm on neither side, nor a centrist. So don't come at me with that in mind. But both sides have horrible people doing similar shit, using their ideals as a scapegoat to do so. It's not inherent to Trump or people following him.

yeah calling someone an orange is on the same level here, definitely

This “both sides” shit MAY have been applicable in his first term, but how his platform is literally built on discrimination and hate speech. You can’t be a trump supporter and not be inherently vile. Your attempt to appear un-biased does not make you seem as intelligent as you think it does.

“Between democracy and fascism, I choose neither.” - Obviously intelligent person, 2025

u/Philislothical_5 14h ago

I get it, you’re trying to seem enlightened by appearing above it all, but your comment is flippant and detached from reality. Pretending democracy and fascism are equally bad isn’t wisdom. When one side is openly pushing authoritarian, discriminatory policies, it isn’t neutrality to choose neither, it’s opting out of responsibility, and pretending you’re profound for not acknowledging it doesn’t paint you in any sort of good light. You’re not standing above political discourse, you’re just stepping aside so others can get hurt.

Yeah and they all take their tone from that now - being a combative asshole is de rigueur now

In fairness, I don't have anything nice to say about conservatives.

"That's a nice argument, senator. Now how about you back it up with a source"

"My source is doesn't exist yet and I'm waiting for fox to tell me what to think"
