    Would just be nice to be able to have open dialogue instead of all this tribalism and rage and arson and violence and assault and whatnot. Seems like a fair ask but everyone has lost their minds lately it seems.

      Right wingers are being taught to believe all pushback against the beliefs fed to them are illegitimate and personal attacks, it’s cult like behavior to make it harder for them to learn and change.

      I know I can’t fathom it. It honestly frightens me. The lefts behaviour is a big reason I swung right, tolerance and acceptance of difference is important to me and a chunk of left just aren’t like that anymore. If r/conservative were openly behaving like many left wingers on reddit they’d rightly be condemned. It’s so wrong

        Insanity. You’re telling yourself that the groups which prides itself on hate are more receptive to you than groups which promotes cooperation and understanding? Maybe ask a psychiatrist what that says about you. You’re supposed to be tolerant to people who act in good faith, but nobody must be tolerant to hate.

        The right is full of infighting too, but it’s about who is the most devoted to the dear leader. Challenge their arguments openly and you’ll see them act far worse than any leftist you’ve ever seen.
