I got that perspective from my experience online and offline, but I also acknowledge that not every Trump voter was like that.

I guess when I'm thinking of the term leftist, I'm thinking of political beliefs, not conversational habits. There's ignorant people who spout fallacies on both sides. In fact both sides mirror each other so much it's maddening. I'm in a purple state so I've met people from a variety of political affiliations and it seems like most people who are passionate about one side or the other are the same in many ways.

I appreciate the conversation, by the way. I might have started off on the wrong foot and come off as overly hostile.

I agree with the horseshoe theory, but I don't think we have extremists on this site.

We might have more in common than it seems. Personally I like arguing with leftists, at least intelligent ones. So if you know any, send them my way.

Perhaps you can invite people on other sites, or people you know IRL, to saidit for a conversation.
