Just because someone has good politics does not make them a good person.

I've met leftists with near identical politics to me who were just really bad people. I also have Conservative members of my extended family who are generous and civil.

I prefer to think of politics systemically, rather than a morality tale about individuals.

In my local Labour branch, there are liberals who are passive aggressive and make me feel disincluded. I thinks it's the same thing as happened to Meghan Mccain but because I have oppososite politics. All groups need a collective identity though and that also applies here.

That's nice.

Megan sounds like a twit and she's on Hannity, lending her family's name to the idea that he's an actual conservative.

There are conservatives who support the social norms, like not lying or stealing, but Hannity is not one of them.

He's a Trumpist. Enough said.

You deal with people and at times there is an interaction involving your political leanings and theirs. Therefore I say this: 1.Respect others who lean politically different from you. 2. Agree to disagree. 3. Listen carefully to their point(s) of view. 4. Have facts and logic for your response(s) 5. Keep loyal to your beliefs to the best of your ability 6. If their argument is strong, at least look at its merits.

So the theme of that is:
Liberals for the most part aren’t nice, whereas Conservatives are ?

That would be interesting indeed … especially considering part of the ideology behind Liberals is supposedly ‘looking out for all interest groups’

well that's it, a pleasant person will make you see them as human then you'll identify with them and you'll believe they are understandable. You'll believe you missed something so why shouldn't it be subject to change. It's not like anyone truly knows anything after all

A lot of the alt right pipeline actually depends on that. There is a lot of emphasis on not only being kind and welcoming, but in pointing out how unkind and intolerant liberals are as a way of isolating people from mixed opinions and drawing them more firmly into the comfortable echo chamber where anything too extreme is just a joke, until it's not.

Right or Left both sides are purposely flawed and equally incompetent.
