Once upon a time you could say that it was just "loud voices" but those voices are coming from elected officials and nearly everyone who ran for the Democratic nomination for president.....not quite the same as a handful of rednecks that maybe you heard about online.
Thank you! I’m so sick of people acting like it’s equal on both sides. There are not millions of people on the right who are freaking racists.

No, Susan Rice is on the short list, and she’s awful.

Yes, a few. I can name a few names:

--Camille Paglia
--Dave Rubin
--Karlyn Borysenko

https://medium.com/@karlyn/this-libe...d-5f953d2814e6

As a Democrat, I never had to worry about social media censorship and had never received a violation or a warning on any platform. I do think it’s interesting to note that within days of my article [about attending a Trump rally] going viral, I received not one, but two, community violations on Instagram. The crime? I called a woman brilliant, talented, and empowered. And, though I reported a lot of posts where I was the target of clear harassment and bullying, Instagram chose not to do anything about it.

The Democrats basically want to let child molesters, murderers, arsonists, and thieves from jail and replace them with Trump voters that want to work and go to church.

Statues being defaced and destroyed. The mob gets to decide if the rest of us should have them or not.

- Absolutely ZERO tolerance for diversity of opinion or debate. It's either you agree with them or you should have no voice, not only that, you should have your career destroyed or you can be physically assaulted as has happened to Trump supporters and Antifa victims.

Yeah cancel culture is not something I stand for and it's often the decent people that get thrown into it.



This has nothing to do with politics but generally the more unpopular/unusual your perspective the more it is ridiculed even though it might have some fair explanation.




I don't like the direction people in society are headed. It's not a question of sides..it's just humanity is hypocritical and over exaggeratory in general.

Yes and even if it were true that people on the right were a vocal minority if you looked outside politics they would just be as ridiculous as those on the left. It's like a feminist trying to argue women are better than men when we all know both genders have their issues.


But I don't think it's even true in politics. Just look at how many Republicans look down on poor people saying people on welfare are scammers for example.

Exactly!!
The republicans immediately renounce their racists, white supremacists, domestic terrorists, and white color criminals .
While Dems and their corrupt media celebrate and elevate their bigots, anarchists, terrorists, and criminals.....

There was enough hyperbole in your post that I wouldn't consider you a centrist.

That's exactly what's happened. People like Dave Rubin have been saying this for several years now. Even progressives like Camille Paglia have said similar things.
