I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open.

You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don’t see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I’m often shamed and muted. I just don’t understand why that parity exists, it’s extremely isolating to feel so alone in this

    Assuming that you used “liberals” to refer colloquially to the American left wing and “conservatives” to mean the right…

    You do see the inverse. You see it in this thread: Calling conservatives rats, saying they don’t have morals. I just read all the current answers, and less than a third of them made any attempts to understand those on the right instead of othering them.

      Oh noes, the idiots who literally tried an insurrection aren’t being coddled and offered a handy, it’s just awful!

        Even if we’re using “conservatives” to refer to the entire right wing here, insurrectionists and those who support them are a tiny minority.

          The problem is that minority of people hold enough positions of power to exert their twisted desires on the majority regardless of what anyone else wants.

        Lol you’re a walking part of the question being asked. A literal version of it.

        The hate for conservatives is just as strong from liberals.

          Conservative: punches someone in the face

          Literally anyone else: Hey asshole, don’t do that!

          You: The hate for conservatives is just as strong from liberals.

              Republicans are great. Conservatives and death cultists aren’t Republicans.

                Well, a lot of both conservatives and Republicans are part of a middle-eastern death cult, but so are are a lot of progressives and Democrats and moderates and independents. I am.

                Some don’t like to think of Christianity in those terms, but the shoe fits.

      Calling a spade a spade is not the same as wanting people dead because they are different. Lying, cheating, and stealing are the opposite of having morals. What is there to understand? It’s pretty simple. I understand that you project everything you are guilty of. I understand that you want people dead simply because they aren’t what you think they should be. I understand that scum is scum, and if you don’t like being called scum, don’t do scummy things. Cry more, con.

        I don’t want anyone dead. I don’t do scummy things. You make these assumptions about me, why?
