Leftists don't have to hate leftists. We could learn to celebrate each other.
I like leftists in general, even moderat ones are miles better than roghtwing morons. likes guns is the lie tho. Leftists might need guns to fight against nazis but its a necessity not enjoyment.
Some of us like guns. SRA members are very friendly and whether you want a place to learn the basics without MAGA hats around or you actually end up enjoying improving your skill we are here for you. Enjoying firearms is pretty fucking nerdy. The conservative firearms dudes are more interested in getting drunk and complaining about their wives while holding something that makes them feel safe. At least initially. Some of them end up enjoying it for the same reasons leftist do. Because they're nerds. You listen to two people talk about firearms for 5 minutes and anime nerds will sound normal by comparison. I think leftist nerds could really bring some conservative gun nerds left if there were more of us.
TDLR: there are those that are firearms nerds and there are those that like owning a gun because they are afraid of going outside. Both exist on the left and right. But the former is almost exclusively right wing.

Hates leftists
That shit sent me
Only note is Liberals should be labeled "thinks leftists and conservatives are the same thing"
Liberals should be labelled "Thinks they're the leftists and that conservatives are needed for good bipartisanship"
Liberals (vote blue not matter who dems) are the actual conservatives. The conservatives (republican party of today and its followers) are better labeled as reactionaries. Liberals are sitting on a further right shifting world and looking at it through horseshoe theory.
I'm using a definition of "conservative" to mean maintain the status quo. Which is literal in its definition and not really based in material actions of those that say they are "conservative". Tongue in cheek a bit i guess,
I think we tell liberals and conservatives apart in the way that you'd tell two species in the same genus apart
Or honestly, two breeds of the same species these days
Conservatives and liberals should be one circle called liberals with a smaller circle inside called “conservatives: the most hated liberals”
Conservatives and liberals should be one circle called liberals with a smaller circle inside called “conservatives: the most hated liberals”
*gestures at “Leftists don’t bother telling conservatives and liberals apart.”*
You’re just proving the chart accurate.
They're right when it comes to politicians though. They both cater to billionaires and corporations, they both support bombing random ass countries, they both support sanctioning Cuba, etc. Not shaming anyone who votes for liberals, because they're less bad domestically, but even then they're constantly moving right, now throwing trans people under the bus and such.
In terms of ideology, both believe in capitalism and US hegemony first and foremost.
I'd argue liberal voters are more likely to be decent people, but their politicians aren't very different, and that's normally what we think when we talk about just how similar they are. Hell, even among liberal voters I find their support for the US military appalling.
