I mean every "side" you pick in life is like that. Even though you might pretend to not be too hateful and say something nice, in your heart if the other "side" fails, you gloat. If they succeed, you seethe.
Has anyone here ever asked themselves why it's like that?
I'mma say no

I mean the term is “cognitive dissonance”.
“the mental discomfort experienced when a person holds two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes, or when their actions do not align with their beliefs. This discomfort often motivates individuals to change their beliefs or behaviors to restore internal consistency.”
Basically we are wired to be “us good them bad”.
It takes more patience, objectivity and frankly IQ than most people have to get past that instinctual response to a topic.
It’s also why I don’t ever talk politics at a personal level if someone can’t give an example of a topic they disagree with their party on.
Because at that point they either aren’t informed enough to be selective or they will just instinctively defend anything they’re presented with on party lines and are post rational ideologues regurgitating talking points to defend their own identity which is wrapped up in party politics.

On reddit, you are reading message board posts of people that believe men can get pregnant. There is nothing else they won't believe from someone who agrees with their politics

Never been on there. I love liberal entertainment though. Watching them melt is a big spiritual bump.

I especially love their free speech conversations when Reddit is very heavy handed on censorship.

It’s beyond censorship, if you simply disagree you get banned from certain subreddits.
Reddit is also 95% bots at this point. You can especially tell when you comment, then 10 seconds later someone responds with a 12 paragraph dissertation complete with words no human actually says unless reading from the dictionary.

All points well said including your dualistic points (the last sentence) 
Indeed. I think I am blessed with insane objectivity in reality but not patience and definitely not IQ. Maybe I can work on patience?
Anyways, you definitely gave me something to think about

You get suspended here for the same thing.
To be fair, if you join a hive and go against the hive, there's no reason to not expect a ban/suspension.

No actually you’re an emotional moron and it’s obvious in your posts. You can’t help but let your progressive slanted points be obvious from time to time
