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

    Conservatives make politics their identity, and hate everyone that doesn’t also identify as them. Most other people realize that’s stupid, they just want a better life.

      Seems everyone these days makes politics their identity, left and right. And center.

          That’s because “centrist” is just what conservatives call themselves when they are too embarassed to admit they are conservatives.

          Never has been, never will be.

          The billionaire-owned media will continue to insist otherwise as long as we allow for billionaires to exist, though…

        A table with 11 people, including a nazi, is a table with 11 nazis.

        Don’t compare choosing to not sit at that table with the bullshit republicans do.
