Politics is downstream from culture, as Andrew Breitbart once said.

I think the other thing that maybe people need to remember is that there’s pretty much always someone further left than you, and there’s a good chance they consider you a conservative.

💯

This could not be more true:

I'm "liberal" and "progressive". I've never voted for my countries "conservatives", in fact I've voted for independants that many would call "far left" more than I've voted for our regular "left" recently. I voted YES in our referendum for gay marriage. I'm all for "gender identity" in adults if that's what makes you happy.

I do not, however, think children should be given "gender affirming care", so that makes me a "bigot", "far right", a "nazi", a "trumper", and a "conservative" according to those too far gone on the left. If you won't let a kid get a tattoo then you shouldn't let a kid cut any perfectly good body parts off, or stunt their body and minds growth with "puberty blockers" aka chemical castration. If you won't trust a kids opinion enough to let them vote, don't let them make decisions that are life altering.

Lots of examples in this discussion thread. Zombies who don't know they're tearing everything apart.
