Y'know what I'm starting to despise about the political left? (especially America). Rather than just disagree with something + trying to see the opposing perspective, they will quickly judge your entire character and portray to as a irredeemable villain over every issue.
Honestly I just hate when prople just say 'the left' or 'the right'. About half of the USA counts as 'the left'. its way to nonspecific of a group to say they ALL act like that, though a vocal minority is always going to be more unreasonable compared to the average person.
