Conservatives: Why do liberals always insult me? Also conservatives: Hey libtards!

Seriously? Do people not understand that decrying insult while being insulting yourself is hypocritical?

That's not a conservative thing. It's a character flaw among all people who shout about politics. I've never understood that fully. I used to consume myself with politics and news and current events and such. I never remember getting upset with my opposing side in conversation. Not even once. But, I watch these people argue back and forth on a regular basis. Liberals and conservatives are equally guilty in regards to calling names, throwing people under the bus and character flaws or defects in general. They're no different. Both are full of people who don't want to learn, don't want to grow. They want to live their lives the same way they always have and don't see any need or room for improvement.

You all blame each other for the exact things you're guilty of yourselves. It doesn't get anywhere. I don't understand how people grow that way --- unwilling to listen (actively) and empathize with others' needs and views. Liberals claim to be the empathetic ones, but in all actuality, they're no different than the conservatives, behaviorally or emotionally.

The sides are equal in regards to flawed personalities and inflated egos.

@perceptivei As someone who is more moderate, I can say that both sides are exactly the freakin' same in terms of behavior and flaws. And they do not see it and never will!

Anything is possible, but most likely, you're 100% right. Lol.

The libtard label came in response to certain liberals acting like they had very low IQs by slandering anyone who disagreed with them -on every single point- in a hyper emotional fashion. And by gobsmacking hypocrisy.

And I say that as someone who has always been left of centre.

They helped Trump get in by representing and modelling behaviors seen by many people as worse and more hateful than anything said or done by Trump - often because it was directed at them personally, thus mobilising his base and alienating many swing voters

They couldn't see this because they were so self righteous they were defeaned by their own smug echo chambers

They further insulted and alienated people who voted for him, not seeming to see that abusing people doesn't win them over

The moral rightness of expressing their hatred towards Trump supporters was more important than working to ensure he didn't get in again.

We aren't talking very bright people.

@SW-User That's how sports team politics has evolved. All the same behaviors could be said for conservatives--the people who tried to claim that Obama was a Kenyan Muslim during his presidency, who call everyone "snowflakes" and dismiss their concerns, who call everything they disagree with "socialist". Neither side is willing to see the other side as human and listen to what they have to say. That does not excuse insulting, petty, childish behavior, though. It's on everyone to be the bigger man. If we were talking about liberals calling everyone racist or idiot, they'd say "well, we only say that because they actually are racists" or "we only say that because Trump is an idiot and anyone who supports blah blah"; they'd be trying to justify it in the exact same way.

@SW-User Sure.

@fairefoutre They don’t want to be insulted, yet they go right to the insults instead of a civil discussion.

Libs were always nasty during the dark and dreary obama years . Then Trump happened . Lots of libtards out there parroting CNN now because lies are all they have while trying to usher in an authoritarian socialistic aristocracy ... I despise them for that . In spite of the lies and BS, Trump continues to excel and make America a much better place ! hahaha! Trump 2020 !

@TexChik I have no problem with people being insulting as long as they are not also complaining about others' same behavior. It's the hypocrisy that gets me.

@SW-User I won’t dish it out until they get beyond friendly or post something offensive . 🤷🏻‍♀️

Liberals are slowly dying away, most people opposite of conservatives now are LEFTISTS aka GLOBALISTS, they are hell bent on destroying individual liberty and personal privacy. Their main mission is the destruction of the US middle class and the eventual elimination of most of humanity. Technocracy is their religion.

These vile creatures consume the American media, both political parties and most every part of society. These leftists are cultists who hate themselves and everybody else. They are pushing most sane people to the edge with their twisted views, which often throw logic, critical thinking, reason and common sense to the wind.

These maniacs on the left have created a two tier justice system, and are currently pushing a civil war. God help those who aren’t truly awake.

What conservatives don't understand could fill millions of pages.

The libtard word is completely offensive and inappropriate. I can’t beleive it’s not being denounced more than it has because it should be. I have a family member deemed deemed MR and im so sick of people using it as an insult.

Too many people think of politics as like a team sport, and then get all worked up about it. That goes for both conservatives and liberals. I'm sure I'm guilty of it myself at times too.

Seriously, do you even care that liberals always be insulting you?
