The claim that there’s so much hate and vitriol on the left and not among MAGA people is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. That’s not even remotely close to my experience on platforms like Twitter and reddit.
Oh there’s plenty of hate on both sides, but in my experience, the hate I get from the Left is much more personal. The right just thinks everyone is an idiot. The left gets up and personal when they insult tho. Not cool.
I’ve had people on Lemmy who’ve followed me to other instances and other conversations just to downvote me, all because I didn’t vote for Harris. The Right doesn’t seem to put in that much effort it. lol
Just my personal experience, and of the guy in this news article, so YMMV.
Hopefully, now that the election is over, the venom and rhetoric can quiet down a little and people can start working together and not be so judgemental.
Both sides need to work on that, in my opinion.
You seem to be having difficulty determining who has self identified as an enemy to your rights.
I agree; your mileage will absolutely vary, and unfortunately, likely be truncated by the very people you’re apparently acting as an apologist for.
No the left has people who will verbally insult you better because you’re threatening their right.
That’s not hate. There is very little hate on the left, most of it is anger from having to survive.
No the left has people who will verbally insult you better because you’re threatening their right.
But I’m not threatening their rights, that’s my point.
The insults I get from right wingers tend to be things like “fuck you libtard pussy” while the worst from leftists is something like “I guess you love genocide”.
And maybe this is where we disagree, but I think the “fuck you libtard pussy” insult is way less severe than the “I guess you love genocide.”
The fuck you comment is just dismissive and they move on.
But the genocide mark is implying that you love something you don’t, and they are trying to trap you, guilt you, mock you, and make you feel like shit about your life and your choices.
Right insulters just want to ignore you and want you to go away.
Left insulters definitely don’t like to move on. They want you to fucking hate yourself. That’s the difference I see.
For the record, tho, I didn’t bow down to either side’s insults. I was proud to vote Socialist party before election day (early mail-in!), and still proud after the election. :)
And I STILL get DM’s that say I am working for Russia and getting paid in rubles and that I want to destroy America. Even tho the election is over. Just because I voted third party. (Hi, poopernickel, I’m still not in russia, still not gonna vote for your party, and I’m still around!)
I feel the same way he does when it comes to insults I have received for not voting for Harris. The grief and hate I got was way worse from Dems than Republicans (I didn’t vote Trump either), especially here on Lemmy.
From the article:
But his initial revelation did receive some backlash.
‘You are a dumba**,’ one X user wrote.
Conservatives, he said, were more tolerant.
Bach wrote: 'I’ve never experienced such overwhelming kindness, understanding, and encouragement as I have from supporters of President Trump in the past 24 hours.
‘And I’ve never faced such vicious personal attacks, name-calling, and insults—intended to wound, shame, and silence—as I have from Leftists in the same time frame.’
So you don’t like insults but voted for the guy that called Mexicans rapists and claimed immigrants eat cats and dogs? No wonder people are insulting you.
Do you mean me personally? Or the guy in the article?
Because to clarify if you meant me personally: I didn’t vote for Trump. Never have. Never would.
People were insulting me because I voted Socialist. So third party. So Dems hated me AND MAGA repubs hated me. Both sides were pissed off at me because I wasn’t voting for their person. lol
Which as we now know after the election results, didn’t affect the outcome at all. Because even if every single person who voted third party, would have voted for Harris instead, she still would have lost. That’s how big the margin of loss was.
If Bernie would have ran, I would have voted for him tho.
Fuck you and your spam
Tho I do agree with your idea of blocking, I just want to make it clear that I’m not MAGA. I’m not sure you meant that you thought I’m MAGA, but I wanted to just make that clear to any others who may be confused. I never have been MAGA, never would be.
I voted Socialist.
But yes, if more people just blocked posters they don’t want to hear from, rather than insulting and going back-and-forth, I think it would be good for everyone long-term.
It certainly would be good for your campaigns wouldn’t it? No more pesky bannings for trolling and sealioning
So why spread this obvious propaganda from one of the worst news sources in the world?
It’s not spam. It’s one article I’ve posted here on this instance today and it got copied over to one other instance. Not everyone has access to every instance. So that doesn’t really count as spam.
Also, the article matches the title, even tho you may have tried to report it for spam by mentioning that the video had nothing to do with the article.
But it’s not a video article, it’s an article for reading. I don’t play the videos.
Lol @ OP
Wow the superfighty comments. Honestly the comments here are basically an example of what I don’t like about politics; the hate. I naturally converse about political ideas politely and seeking to learn. The rampant noncivil style is below what I find acceptable as a person. But also I’m not a fan of any brainwashing media source so I I’m tame on the ‘shaped extremist’ scale. And it’s republican groups, democrat groups, i even joined an antifa group once and it was the same. Comments are not about logic nor learning. It’s about supporting comments that are For and fighting against comments that are Against.
Anyway, I find it interesting here that the guy is LGBTQ. Hasn’t Trump aligned himself AGAINST LGBTQ? Why would the guy shift to pro trump? Does he basically bang men in private and state his orientation as Gay but that’s as far in to LGBTQ as he goes and he doesn’t think Trump will cause harm to him then?
Trump’s antiLGBTQ is my biggest issue with him and feels like an unneeded hate of a community of people. The guy supporting Trump and then Elon boosting him is like a free Black Person in the era of slavery vocally supporting a high up Slaver in government and the Slaver being like ‘yeah everyone look at this black person they r cool and know what’s up’. is weird and entire thing doesn’t make sense to me. Why is he supporting his oppressors and why are his oppressors supporting him even tho he’s the caste that is their hate target?
