    The only thing worse than vindictive, bigoted conservatives is vindictive, bigoted leftists who don’t want to find ways to live alongside the stupid hicks.

    At least they’re stupid enough that they can be turned and manipulated to supporting better outcomes, but leftists holding a grudge do entire goddamn worldbuilding exercises around justifying hating everyone with a simple life and a simple mind.

    (Go ahead and downvote me browser, while you do, think about what kind of biases you hold against people based on how you imagine their house and yard to look.)

      do you really want me to get my list of people leftists hate because “stupid hicks” is pretty low on the list compared to folk with the wrong skin color or disability or sexuality. of course point that out to a leftist and they’ll deny it, but when you look at what they actually do instead of what they say, it’s clear as daylight.

        In my experience there are a LOT of leftists who cling to the label without actually being more than a liberal with some angry outbursts.
