I could feel this in myself. I want Biden to be president, but my experiences with the left this last year still gave me a little shot of joy every time Trump did well

My takeaway is that a large number of people HATE the cultural left (not the econ left) and are willing to put up with almost anything, including incompetence, chaos, corruption and bad policy, to signal their views loud and clear.

"Trump personality/Bernie policies FTW" I believe these people are the ones who refer to themselves as the "dirtbag Left".

It feels like they hate me. The right feels like it hates what I do, but the left feels like they hate *me*. I've been brigaded by both right and left many times; the right when I violate a specific cultural value they have, the left for any damm thing

This is a bit of a hyperbole. But to be more specific, if I support abortion, the right hate me. If i ask a question that so much as smells faintly of me maybe doubting the narratives around race, the left tells me to go kill myself
