Would you say this is an accurate description of the differences between the parties

Yes this is incredibly accurate

From the "This sure looks like antifa to me. But, I know, just an idea." Thread:

Let me know when you see the right, covered in masks, come up and start beating on and stealing from lefties like this video.

I would say a good amount of democrats are future republicans, who will eventually switch over if/when the policies they're pushing for actually impact them personally. Its easy to advocate for a bunch of crazy shite that you think won't ever impact you, its different when it comes time to put your money where your mouth is. The ones who get to stay in their bubble, whether through wealth or some other kind of protection such as government benefits, will stay democrats for life though.

Andrew Wilkow’s description of the difference sums it up nicely I think:


-A republican vegetarian doesn’t eat meat

-A democrat vegetarian doesn’t want YOU to eat meat

quote:

---

A republican sees a democrat as someone who disagrees with them but can possibly be converted

A democrat sees a republican as an evil person who must be silenced

---

Not anymore.

Not since Republicans have succumbed to populism.

And it's interesting that you would post that in the context of the Kimmel show being pressured by the FCC.

No, now there are three main differences that I see:

First difference is who "Them" is according to each group.

To Republicans "Them" = "Global Elites," "The Deep State," all Democrats, Israel and anyone who supports them, large corporations, anyone who wants to maintain US global hegemony, immigrants, trans, gay, and black people, and lower courts.

To Democrats "Them" = white people, large corporations, anyone who doubts climate change or opposes abortion, cis people, Christians, Israel (sometimes), and anyone who supports any traditional family values at all.

The second difference is that given the leftist's embrace of intersectionality and postmodernism and the resulting conclusion that "speech is violence," the left is further down the road in terms of feeling like it's o.k. to use actual violence to suppress speech. Republicans can get to the point at which we cheer for someone's death like the left has been cheering for Kirk's death, for example, but it requires that the murdered person has actually done something violent, not just said things the other side doesn't like.

Osama Bin Laden, for example. Republicans cheered when he was finally killed. Which is a whole lot more understandable than cheering when Charlie Kirk was killed.

The third difference is that leftists reject God and religion, so politics becomes their religion. Political idolatry is a problem on the other side as well (and I raise my hand first confessing my own), but it's a deviation from intended priorities and authority on the right, whereas on the left it IS the priority and authority.

So people on the right are less likely to take their victory laps to social media. The need for virtue signaling and approval from the internet is not nearly as strong on the right because even though we are imperfect, we are more likely to get primary approval and have more of our identity in God and family than strangers on the internet.

And yes, I know I'm posting this on a version of social media. But I think the impulse to post here is a bit different. I think that has to do with wanting to be right or win an argument than getting approval.

This is an exceedingly rare. A Democrat who can be reasoned with has only occasionally been found. Most of them have locked their mind and thrown away the key.

Everyone is a democrat until they start paying taxes. That's when the separation occurs.

The people who want to succeed and understands that it takes hard work moves to the right.

I just think the days of debate with hard-core Democrats are coming to a close.

That's because they don't want debate. The modern hard core Left has become exactly like Radical Sharia Muslims.

Convert or DIE
