Right wing opinions are usually wrong. Not always, but overwhelmingly. It’s really to the point that if someone mentions they’re right wing I immediately take every word out of their mouth with grave skepticism because the requirement to identify as a right winger is either terminal stupidity or willingness to play into fear and anger narratives uncritically. Which is just terminal stupidity with extra steps.
Thing is, around here you have to be very careful to not even sound rightwing. You dare not point out that there’s a reason the right believes a thing without being clear to distance yourself from that reason.
You certainly don’t point out the left’s take on a rightwing opinion is wrong. I see that with gun debates all the time. “Yeah, no one actually says or believes that. It’s more like…” “FUCK YOU CHILD MURDERER!”
Here’s a related example; I’ve been beat up for saying that Trump used to be coherent. Listen to some videos from the 80s or 90s, even early 2000s. You might not agree with his words, but at least he could string a sentence together. That sort of thing gets buried in downvotes, as if I’m agreeing with or apologizing for Trump.
I’ve tried to disagree with the people who have pretty extremist views on abolishing police and the rule of law, unironically supporting anarchy, and the response has been the classic ‘Bootlicker’ insult. It’s extremely frustrating when I’d throw a party to the news the GOP has been dissolved but criticizing the more outlandish left positions gets me my honorary klan hood and thrown onto team red.
Sure I’ve got some ‘hot takes’ by the lefts’ standards but I’m not a conservative in any regard. I think the left is perfectly capable of matching the retardation of the right and I wish we could normalize calling that shit out rather than reflexively going “Ohh so you’re not on my team, your words mean nothing, bootlicker.”
Cause now I’ve got to vote for a party that hates me so the party that hates me more can lose. Yippie.
Yeah! Take that with your stupid right wing opinion that’s different than what is wanted to be heard!
If your opinion is that certain people should have less rights, you have a retarded opinion.
If you’re saying that I do, I never said any of that at all nor did the post.
Whats funny is you just used an abliest slur.
Also, fetus rights are human rights. If you disagree, you have a r-slurred opinion.

Our political system has two wolves…
The one on the furthest right is retarded… The one on the furthest left… Is also retarded.
Also wait why do both parties hate you?
Lmfao apparently. What happened here?
At which point have right wing opinions actually helped the majority of people?
They always help people…
^mostly ^white ^men
I mean… Technically white is the predominant ethnicity in America… So like… (งツ)ว
