I often tweet critically about the left more than the right, and I suspect this is because I see more bad leftist stuff closer in my social spheres, and only rarely bad right stuff. But I do think if I started hanging around more right wingers I would get more upset about it.

My "right friends" I disagree with can calmly discuss topics while my "left friends" get angry and arrogant in the same situation.

Does this hold for all topics or just ones that left ppl are more sensitive about? I find right wingers unable to handle me doing sex work, for example. And are they as extreme rightists as the leftists you're comparing them to?

I don't think I know extremists from either side. I think I know more Rs with OF or Fetlife accounts than Ds which is kind of kooky now that I think about it.
