In the recent past many blacks felt white America considered them inelegant or unintellectual. Many working-class whites felt and feel the same about themselves. At present, liberals are inventing new prejudices against lower-class whites. “It is now almost mandatory to hate deplorables.”

It's just nice to see the article's premises confirmed that new prejudices are being crafted and bigots proudly wearing their bigotries on their sleeves.

In my experience on Saidit, so far, most conservatives actually have enough shame to not be the prejudiced calling others prejudice, and playing the victim, quite so obviously.

But the far left tells us they are the ones without prejudice. The ones who are loving, accepting, tolerant, etc. Now we find that this was all a lie, and that they have merely rearranged their prejudices.

If you think Saidit is representative of conservatives in general, you are mistaken. But, this is a big problem with the far left; they have a completely mistaken idea of what the right thinks. Johnathan Haidt talks about this here, "they're trained carefully basically how to discredit your opponent. They learn to slur, they do not learn to argue."

Are you saying that the right is prejudiced, but it's ok because they're very open and honest about it?

Don't be so hard on yourselves, you're not all Gab.

No. I am not saying that at all. This is a great example of imagining what someone else might think and then criticizing them for it. A huge problem on the left these days, as the data shows.

I asked the question. Based on what you said.

and then criticizing them for it.

And of course that didn't happen. But you sure do love playing the victim.

As you generalize about leftists and assume you know me. Stop oppressing me!!!!

It's not a "both sides" situation. The research shows conservatives know quite well what leftists think and why. When we answer questionnaires about what you believe, we get it right. But the left has no idea what we think, and when they answer questionnaires, they get it wildly wrong.

No, it's a pot calling the kettle black (and then whining about prejudice) situation.

Y'all are far from coy, is there some reason that what you say is actually not what you think? Cause you're running your mouths all the fucking time.

Does this fool leftists? Who buys this shit? I hear what you say, read what you post, and I see what you do. I grew up with y'all. You're not complicated, and you'd better find another audience if you want someone to believe that you are.

And yet you cannot answer a questionnaire and accurately answer as to what conservatives believe. You have a ridiculous parody in your mind. That's what the data shows.

I do not speak for "leftists".

But every aspect of life in the USA indicates very clearly that conservatives lie like goddamn rugs.

My advice: stop being ridiculous parodies, and then you can discontinue this ridiculous "we're victims!" charade.
