Well, now you have some idea how it is being a leftie or liberal, normally, even before Trump. Because this happens to this side all the time.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! On this forum?! You're being completely full of it and you know it if you're claiming this when Tstorm is the only right wing person on these forums.
No, I meant elsewhere. Also, Tstorm doesn?t usually resort to insults when discussing issues, which is refreshing. Seen him call people liar and racist, but that?s as far as it goes.

Do you understand that happens to you almost certainly less than to me? I have no doubt that right-leaning people consider you bad things as a left-leaning person, and I'm sure you've experienced that personally, and I don't mean to minimize that. But the stereotypes are bleeding-heart liberals vs heartless conservatives. Based on political positions, people are more likely to think you're ignorant and naive, and more likely to think I'm evil and bigoted. I'm not going to suggest either side receives more or less hatred from the opposition, but on the specific claim of evil, I'm probably thought of as evil more often than you are.
And like, I am a Catholic conservative Republican man (in order of relevance) who likes games. You know how unavoidable attacks against me are? This morning, I was playing the game Murder By Numbers, because it's on the Switch and murder mystery picross game sounded right up my alley. And while I was playing, one of the characters decided to take an uninstigated pot-shot at Catholics. And like, I move along and keep playing because being browbeat with liberal moral theories is the price I pay for playing indie games and I understand that, but do you really think I don't experience people thinking I'm evil all the time forever? It's not a Trump thing now, and it's certainly not a unique left-wing experience ever.
On this site, probably. Elsewhere, I?d doubt it very much. Been called racist, sexist, ecoterorist, economic terrorist, evil, hateful, pedo-lover and fascist just in the last week, along with the typical random insult like idiot, cuck and a-hole. Also, was not specifically talking about me. I was talking generally. I?d point out that some pundits still call something like homosexuals kissing or a woman lead in a show as ?political?. Because people living their lives is somehow a crime against the populace. I also notice how ?free speechers? usually only care about their free speech and when someone brings up feminist talking points, they are labeled as anti-free speech. The irony does not escape me.
After making that post I saw the perfect example of this. Om another forum, we were discussing the scissor sister murders. Some sisters killed an person of Indian descent. He definitely hurt their mum (who was dating him), and probably raped a 15 disabled girl but was found not guilty. So a commentator stated that the PC brigade made sure that this guy wasn?t convicted because he was an immigrant. Another comment replied that it was because they are pro-homosexual, they were also pro-pedophilia this had a vested interest in not convicting him. Another was commenting on how allowing colonials automatic citizenship was ruining society. This last one I thought about replying to, as I wanted to clarify if he meant Indians in particular or are white Australians, South Africans and Kiwis not invited too. But... I know how that conversation would turn out. Being pro-immigrant is racist against White people. Been there too many times.
Also, that pedo-lover insult came during a discussion on another forum (not, as you might suspect from this first example). In a weird turn of events, it came during talks on George Pell. He was an Australian Catholic Arch-Bishop who was convicted on pedophile charges and this was overturned on appeal because the judges thought there could be reasonable doubt. Anyway, so the attacks come. ?Clearly this is lefties being anti-Christian? or anti-Catholic. Like religious people can?t do wrong things. Then I got a reply saying that these are god people and only homosexuals and their allies can be pedophilie.
But, then I realised I was working to hard to prove this. I can just point to Trump and point out that he insults anyone he doesn?t like. The reporters might be asking leading questions, but they generally don?t insult him. Even other world leaders don?t insult him that much. And yet Trump wonders why he?s ?attacked? so much.
As another example, Anna Perosina was on Rubin?s show. He was making his normal claims of the liberals and MSM ruining everything, but particularly about making the Coronavirus. She rebuffed him, which I?m glad a Fox presenter can leave that silliness out of her critique of the left. Doesn?t make up for the other Fox journalists who didn?t stand up for the rest of the MSM a few months ago, after they did stand for Fox during Obama?s reign. But I?m putting undue pressure on her. She?s only part of an entity, not speaking for the whole
And, you know, maybe you are insulted more than me. I hope this gives insight into what I deal with
