yea so the right encompasses "the jews plan to exterminate white people so we must exterminate the jews" as well as "gay people are bad" and "man i fucking love killing my child workers for an extra dime"

Probably because liberals acknowledge reality while conservatives are conspiracy theorists

Yeah because the right has people who genuinely believe lizards are controlling the planet and drinking baby blood, neo Nazis, ethno nationalists, suit and tie fiscal responsibility types, and your out of touch grandma who remembers Reagan fondly

This is the source for everyone wondering. I haven’t read it all since it’s big so tell me if I’m missing anything https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjso.12665

So I think the left vs right divide mostly comes down to people’s opinions on hierarchies. The left opposes them and the right supports them. But the right is made up of people who support very different hierarchies but are all United against the left. This leads to a system where the left harshly criticizes “dissenting” while the right accepts them even if they are of a totally different ideology or are kindof crazy.

Idk if that’s just rage bait but it doesn’t make much sense. What about any major political belief such as immigration or gun laws. Liberals all have a mob mentality while conservatives have very differing opinions

Lay off the fox news and actually talk to liberals. Jesus Christ you are propagandized.

liberals have a mob mentality but yet the subject of the year in us politics is the democratic party in damn near a civil war with itself because of how absolutely contrasting sides of it are

They’re not too far off. People on the right generally just accept whatever the mainstream idea is, instead of having the diversity in policy ideas or “thought”
