I think what would help this thread is if we all took a moment and came to 3-5 descriptive words to describe what you think the majority of the left and the right. Here I'll start

I think the Right are angry, hypocritical, short-sighted, smug selfish idealists.

I think the Left are short-sighted, hypocritical, angry, smug selfish idealists.

Staple your cock to my forehead.

I think it's important for people to lay out the assumptions they have of other people if they ever want to have a decent conversation.

That is beside the point I'm making. I would like you to describe people who you think support the left with 3-5 descriptive words, and people who support the right. Thank you very much :)

Like I'm not asking as some sort of gotcha or anything. I just think it would be really interesting to see how other people perceive their political opposite. And I think if people were to answer honestly, they could potentially start having decent worthwhile and productive conversations together.

“‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ Think about that. Stop there, think about that. ‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ You’re OK with that? Do you know people who are OK with that? I mean, I just find myself thinking, this isn’t my fight, you know, this is where you’ve got to look yourself in the eye.
“We need to look our neighbours in the eye and kind of go: ‘What is going on?’ Because this just isn’t that complicated, you know. Just tell me what’s in my food. Why is that a problem? So you have to ask yourself, what’s going on, because I don’t get it. I don’t understand it.”

Master oration from Obama. Are we sure Trump is that dumb in comparison.

there's literally no way he dealt in NY and NJ real estate and construction in the 70's and 80's without mafia ties, but that's not really indicative of him being an actual crime boss or something

it kinda came with the territory back then, that was still the era of public mob hits and car bombings and poo poo
