Quit making so much goddamn sense. It's unappealing to my knee-jerk reaction filters!

At first I was just going to point out how 'reddit' has become like it's own language, on the order of 'British' English. Guy there is speaking fluent reddit.

Then this quote below appeared and I remembered it's an entirely different reality.

I have spent my 40+ years watching one side (the left) show tremendous empathy to the other. I've seen them reach out to try and work together. I've seen compromise and cede ground on issues big and small. I've also seen one side consistently throw that spirit back in their face with increasingly bizarre and destructive hate. I grew up in the south and my entire life has been filled with conservatives whose entire identity is consumed by hating Democrats. Not leftist policies. Not even the politicians that represent them. No.. quite literally hating the other half of the people who make up this country.

Until 2016 the left by and large just took it.. and we continued to swing harder and harder right as a nation. We've had schoolboards taken over in the name of creationism. We've had courts packed with anti-abortion judges. We've seen the discourse on the right degrade into QAnon and Jewish space lasers. Don't hand me this both sides bullshit. If the left hates the right it's because the right has treated the left with utter contempt for at least 4 decades and we're absolutely tired of it.
