54 Percent of Strong Liberals Say Violence Against Rich Sometimes Justified

This is a pretty big deal? Honestly this seems like a bigger deal than the positive view of communism.

Yeah but they’re calling us liberals doggirl-growl

these surveys never let you identify as a commie, it's always "very liberal" to "very conservative"

This stuff can be maddening. To my MAGA neighbors, I’m a liberal and a commie, because they’re the exact same thing. To my leftist friends, I’m sometimes considered a shitlib or a fash-light, because I fall short of a purity test occasionally.

If I’m ever surveyed, I just choose “very liberal” and move on.

So I don’t consider myself a centrist, but I guess it depends on who you ask, and where I’m at. I’m likely not quite as left as many here, but anything not Republican is radical here in MAGA Land where I live.

I will admit, the rise of MAGA Fascism in America has pushed me to the left.

FWIW I wasn't calling you a centrist, I was making fun of the survey options like "yeah I'm a centrist, because I think communists and anarchists both make some good points"

the thing that finally pushed me out of liberalism was seeing the way the dems keep insisting that bipartisanship is good, motherfuckers cannot simultaneously tell me that the republicans are going fascist and still expect me to believe collaboration is good, I will reject both of them instead
