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
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.
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.
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.
