I dont know. On one hand we have cunts wearing red hats and chatting shit about "men in dresses". And on the other we have blue haired land whales chatting shit about how being "male and pale is stale". I think everyone is just a cunt at this point. And while we dont have an easily recognisable name for it like "nazi", the other side of the CULTure wars would be every bit the horror show the red hat wearing pricks would be if left unchecked in power.
Yeah, thats right. Im both sidesing this mother fucker. I dont care what tragic cult script youve got lined up, ready to go. The fact is, anyone who takes part in the culture wars is a cunt. No ifs, no ands, no buts. Red hats and pick up trucks, or blue hair and septum rings. Youre all toxic and cringe.
Fully agree with you
Most ultra leftists are horrible by themselves and would do the exact same thing, and a lot of the politically correctness bullshit from years ago caused many people to vote trump back then.
It's a frustrating echo chamber here. I'm trans and there is tons of extremism from specifically other people in my community. I'm left leaning ( left leaning centrist? ) and people are too tribal when it comes to partisan politics to see the extremity on their 'side'.
The modern political landscape sees people othering their 'enemy'. Understanding them as 'dumb' or 'terrible people', with a complete lack of empathy for their humanity.
Republicans are people too, frequently misguided, and that's a sad thing. I feel sad for them, they deserve my pity, they are lost.
Can you share an example of extremism from left wing politicians or senior party members in the US to illustrate your point? Because it doesn't sound like you're comparing apples to apples.
This comic is making reference to real comments made by a real Republican group that's existed since the 50s and is the national youth wing of the Republican party - many of the people exposed in the leaked chats currently work directly for senators and government bodies.
