I would just like free healthcare for my type 1 diabetes, other than that, I don't care what happens personally, I mean I don't want anything nuked, but yeah, all the trans stuff, immigrants, I have no opinion on anything besides healthcare, and if I didn't have type 1 diabetes I wouldn't even care about that.
There is always a study.....

Like you have your pro-gun people who care primarily about that one issue and may not have strong views about abortion, gay marriage, immigration, etc. and vice versa. This leads to a hodge podge of views. In my view, the right is a coalition of groups who have their own specific grievance while the left is a coalition of groups trying to create equality. |
This very much! There are people who will hate 90% of Trumps Policies, despise the tarrifs (or be ignorant to them) but vote for him in over something singular like Immigration
I agree. The right is motivated by a wider variety of things. You have libertarians, conservative chrisitians, MAGA, etc etc etc bringing the right into many different directions. Ultimately, that's a good thing for the right, hope that the trend continues with the lefties.
| SeaDaVie said: That’s because most things that leftwing people believe in are actual facts and basic truths, and there can’t be much deviation on that. Like if you believe in climate change then believe in climate change. If you believe in equality then you believe in equality for all, no exceptions but the biases and intolerances of the right are many and varied(some dislike foreigners but are ok with gays, some despise both, some just hate Jews, some are even relatively tolerant and just believe in traditional conservative values in relation to things like government size and tax). The right encompasses the traditional fiscal conservatives, the religious extreme, the religious moderates, the conspiracy theorists, poor rural people that believe electing billionaires will be good for them etc. |
You are kidding, right? The left are in their own bubble with their own "facts" and "truths" and at the same time they can't even define what a woman is.
They are a cult, a hivemind, and they live in a dangerous paradigm of moral superiority and "good and evil". People like that cannot be reasoned or argued with. They simply think that they are the good people and if you don't agree with them on any given point, you are evil and thus you can be totally disregarded and wiped off the face of the earth.
Things like the climate or equality are not as simple as they would like to think, there are nuances in things and much that is yet to be discussed and discovered. Most people want the same things and to be good to other people, but the key is in how that is achieved. That is where the disagreement comes from. How do we get to equality in a way that is fair to everybody, for instance? That's not a simple question. Or is true equality even attainable, or just idealistic and moralistic masturbation?
But yeah, the research does not surprise me one bit. These are the people who are ready to disown their family members for having the "wrong" opinions politically. Never seen that kind of zealotry on the right.
I guess my first question would be what the questions are? Like are they things such as:
Do you believe in banning literature?
Do you believe in Evolution?
Do you believe in corporal punishment for misbehaving children?
Do you believe in corporal punishment against misbehaving women?
Do you believe the Earth is Round?
Do you believe in divorce?
Do you believe vaccines infect you with 5G?
Do you believe in the right to abortion?
Do you believe the Earth was created in the last 10,000 years?
Do you believe black people are inferior to white?
Scientific and philosophical literacy elements which most leftists would share an opinion on, but the right-wing would be all over the place on.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Yep, we see that a lot when things like minimum wage increase, marijuana legalization or abortion access become law at the state level through ballot initiatives then those same states will turn around and vote in people who are opposed to those things.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Like we saw today in Missouri, where the GOP led legislature gutted several ballot referenda that were passed by healthy margins by the voters.
“Let the people decide,” they say, until the people make a decision that the Christian ayatollahs don’t like.
This part of the study kind of concerns me when it comes to its conclusion
On a categorical scale, 58.1% self-identified as Democrats, 28% as Independents, and 13.9% as Republicans. Since the network analysis is trying to capture a sociometric property of society, we re-weighted each group using recommended weights (Gallup, 2021).1
So out of 396 people survayed in this study, the majority do not consider themselves on the political right.

Say this to my conservative uncle. He cast me out of the family and block me to contact my cousins in the moment I've started dating a man
He probably didn't got the memo conservatives should not disown their own family members ;)
