I wonder if democrats even realize that even if they are objectively the best choice, the overwhelming toxicity from that community to any level of criticism results in massive number of voters who are going to vote for trump purely as an emotional response to being mistreated by the community.. purely out of spite.
In fact at this point I think Democrats and the way they treat people is probably the only real reason Trump is part of the landscape at all.
@mike805 I would say in the current cycle of hate the left is clearly the less tolerant to discuss, but the right is less tolerant not to discuss. The left will crank the toxicity up to 11 the second you want to discuss any nuance beyond the party line or the script... But the right is the opposite. If you dontfeel like talking about their conspiracy of the day they get triggered by the silence.
@freemo That's interesting, I never thought of it that way. There are definitely crazies on the Right.They feel like there is a conspiracy of silence against them. That is why they are more willing to debate, they feel like just getting heard is a victory for them.
While the Left's positions don't stand up to debate very well, so they rage when challenged.
I often wonder, is the rage real or performative? Have they just learned that throwing a tantrum will get them the candy bar?
