Jordan Bach, 37, has chronicled his right wing debut on social media, sharing his thought processes as someone whose political views have drastically shifted.
Conservatives have also in my experience been way more likely to say mildly veiled death threats, if that means anything to you.
At least the “guess you love genocide” is an attempt to persuade you about a political topic. It has absolutely nothing to do with “want you to hate yourself”. The “libtard” shit is precisely the topic here - just plain hate.
I don’t have to agree to anything, but okay. You could come up with some reasons why you feel that death threats, slurs and insults are less hateful.
It’s also notable that the “fuck you libtard” type of response is far more common than the “you love genocide”. A small handful of leftists act like that. Much more common is moderate left/US liberal people who politely engage in conversation. You can see that all over Lemmy and Reddit. Meanwhile, try going to Reddit’s /r conservative and criticize Trump, or even just repeat things he’s said that make him look bad. You’ll get insulted and banned quickly.
US liberals look down on certain groups for features they could change - being sexist, ignorant, violent, you know, typical hardcore Trump supporters. Hardcore Trump supporters look down on people for things they can’t change - being non-white, poor, or a woman.
I mean, just read the posts on /r/conservative or /r/conspiracy. Check out the racism and hatred of women, the poor and immigrants among those communities. Saying US liberals are hateful compared to MAGA people is perhaps one of the most absurd things anyone has ever told me.
But you’re right, you don’t have to agree with me on anything. And I don’t have to agree with you on anything. I have received more hate from liberals on Lemmy than I have from conservatives. And they were more hateful.
My personal experience. And that doesn’t match your personal experience.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that.

Which was happening on Lemmy pre-election. A lot.
