You're part of the problem till you can step back and understand others opinions. Generally people mean well.
So what opinion does the right have that is worth taking seriously?
Oddly they have some arguments that the hard left would agree with normally if it wasnt so polarised.
For example critical race theory would say institutional racism caused disparity right? So is institutional racism bad? Or just bad if it preferences a race you prefer?
Yep, you've outed yourself. Better luck next time.
Empathy, trying to understand others, reasonable discourse...look into them mate π
Oh I understand those far-right "others" just fine. They're all the abusive partners, parents and bullys we've all known. The ones who will torture their own family members for doing something, anything, without their unpredictable stamp of approval. The ones who eagerly twist and lie and manipulate people to get what they want, saying vapid shit about "empathy and understanding" that they have no intention of following themselves.
The Republican party is indefensible and by extension, so are those that support them, from Fox News all the way down to fuckstains at the local bar. They've made themselves a shining beacon for the worst people in America and I'm comfortable writing every single one of them off.
Because if they were actually capable of empathy, understanding or reasonable discourse, they wouldn't be far-right in the first place.
The worst people you know vote and have social media.
