1) I don't know that I agree with that. I am cautiously optimistic that people on the left, or at least, the populist left, are perfectly capable of separating policy substance from emotion. The reason the right can't do that is because to them it's about sustaining a narrative

2) that is, more often than not, tied into their identity. In that equation empirical reality becomes irrelevant because they feel they're defending themselves. I think you might be giving the left too little credit here.

When angry count 4; when very angry, swear. There ought to be a room in every house to swear in. It's dangerous to have to repress an emotion like that. Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

Turns out the video was taken at a private party and was never meant for public distribution.

There's a firmly-held belief on the left that cursing in and of itself = authenticity and honesty. The sort of simple-minded thing that a teenager would believe.

The left championed destroying the norms against cursing in the culture and public sq. It is completely part of the left wing temperment to epatez les bourgeoisie. It is most of their schtick

Screaming, whistles, chanting, megaphones are staples in any "resistance" crowd. I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I just don't see that kind of heckler's veto being implemented nearly as much by the right. There's a reason the REEEEEE!!! meme exists.

I don’t have a clue why, or if it’s just my deformed personal view, but “left” seem to be much more emotional and less reserved. Left side in general is driven by (false) emotion, empathy and fear. Even the commentators on the left are very often blown away by their own emotions.
