I think something people tend to forget or ignore is that just because someone is racist, transphobic, or whatever doesn't mean they treat those people differently in real life. The left makes these people out to be the worst of the worst, card carrying KKK members. But that's not the truth. Mostly, everyone gets along. Everyone has their own opinions and they are entitled to them.

Before, I couldnt stand the right calling the left snowflakes and going on and on about how identity politics are bad. But now I understand how damaging identity politics is. It just serves to further divide people. And the SJWs screaming about whatever issue they decide to be offended about today is being a snowflake. It's being so mentally fragile you cant imagine two people who dont like each other can actually get along. It means you have a toddler fit just because people don't agree with your opinion.

There are plenty of immature adults out there who truly think you have to be mean all the time to everybody you don't like. I've had this happen over and over again where I am courteous to people I truly do not like at all, and they KNOW I don't like them, and they actually get offended when I still help them once in a while without something I know they need. We live in a country full of adult babies with no concept of the fact that everybody is a human being with wants and needs and that you don't have to treat people you don't like as all bad and your arch nemesis. I think the left loves having enemies because they are bullies who need punching bags.

Its not a left vs right thing. Nothing rallies communities together like having a common enemy, its human nature
