Don't conservatives realize their constant liberal bashing is starting to lose its mojo?

As if blaming an entire political side for the actions of some [b]far[/b] left individuals made you so much more tolerant than them...
I'll say what it is: shameless generalization. Bet if liberals started blaming all of the right for what some alt-right assholes did it'd be the good ol' "intolerance of the left", huh?
Now [b]that[/b] is hypocrisy.

Especially when they call anyone who disagrees with them a liberal even if they're not. If you're not a liberal yourself, you probably are now for making this post. 😆

@TexChik Yeah, I said I [i]don't[/i] think he's the next Hitler unlike how many others believe...

Also, I think that's interesting that you say I'm the one who hasn't seemed friendly since because I've been thinking the same about you. The way I see it, you're always nice until you start talking politics, then you get real shitty with anyone who says something you don't agree with. I understand that you're no doubt passionate about your political views but what I don't understand is why you have to talk shit and generalize someone as just another libtard whenever they express views that go against your own. Can someone have different politics and not be just another liberal you can never be amicable with?

@Carver I never mind different views , that’s what America is about ...but when I see that same person also saying vile things in another post ... and after the last 21/2 years of Trump bashing and slanders ... yes I’ve lost my patience with those people .

@TexChik Well hey, if you ever see me saying some truly nasty and ignorant things, you can call me out on them or dismiss me as just another libtard anytime. 🤷
[i]Some[/i] conservatives =feel that way, but speaking out about, or even not joining in full force with the name calling and blaming the "others" is not the way of things on the "right" at the moment, between Trump and Fox, both of whom seem to be trying to define politics as a zero sum game where anyone who even utters a negative peep, much less critcizes DJT gets labeled things like a traitor, an agent of the deep state, or an enemy of the people.

The Republican party has become the party of Trump, and emulating him by blaming others and name calling seems to be the best way of showing patriotism and loyalty at the moment. Saying the equivalent of, Obama was not born in Kenya, is not terrorist, etc. is out of vogue.

And honestly, I don't see it much elsewhere, but if you watch Fox or read Breitbart, you will see plenty of examples of liberals blaming all Conservatives for the alt right and being intolerant, along with overprivileged and whiny blacks and muslims, etc.

I'm not saying the left isn't hypocritical, mind you, but at the moment, blaming the "other" for everything seems to be more or less owned, if not by the entire "right," at least by the segment of the right that is in charge, is controlling the narrative, and is willing to punish even others with similar ideologies.

...ssssshhhh it is the American way. We spent 8 years of the last administration blaming everything bad that happened on Bush. It gets worse every time we near elections. Unfortunately no one has a monopoly on hypocrisy or intolerance of the other side.

I thought conservatives were supposed to reduce, not increase, government spending?

Both side do the same shit. Idiots will believe anything, so they're in pretty much every group.
