When I was at Fort Benning, Georgia in 1992, a friend of mine asked me if I knew the difference between conservatives and liberals. Thinking it a joke I said, “No, what?” He then walked over to a guy we knew to be a liberal and asked the hot question of that day (I don’t remember the question). This liberal guy literally started screaming and ranting, at which point my friend just walked away and over to a guy we knew to be a conservative type. Asking this guy the same question, the conservative guy did what? He started asking clarifying questions. My friend left him as well, walked back over to me, and said, “Now you know the difference.” I have never forgotten that object lesson, even if I forgot the question. The problem we have today is both sides have been made so polarized the response is the same from either group. To one group I am a “libtard” to the other I am a “MAGAtard” Sigh. . .oh for reasonable discourse.
This is the biggest achievement of progressives - their ability to look at something black and tell us it's white. While only a few point out the truth.

Trump is h!tler
Russia bad
Vaccines perfect
Men are actually women
Unchecked, rampant immigration is good
War is normal
Welfare fraud is acceptable
......etc.
Yet you hear much of the same from the other side as well. Those who think independently are now the enemy.
That's a solid point:
Trump is perfect
Venezuela is evil
China is a threat to democracy
We are trying to end the Ukraine war
.....etc.
