You really think the American left dehumanises republican voters?

Let’s see: Democrats exclusively talk about “crossing the aisle” and bipartisanship. Bernie Sanders excessively highlights the importance of protecting low income middle Americans who work(ed) in manufacturing and other sectors that lean Republican voters, while trying to sneak in some “also no, minorities aren’t evil” rhetoric.

Old school GOP says gays are sinners, new school GOP/MAGA calls transgender folks pedophiles, liberals communist unemployed rioters, and ethnic minorities “freeloaders who should go back to their countries”.

What a load of shit saying that the American left wing is to blame for “dehumanising” the right wing. I don’t think the way to fight extreme far-right ideology that is currently, actively supporting horrible shit is to pamper them and call them angels and ignore the shit they’re doing.

And here’s some extra data to prove the point:

I will clarify, I believe MAGA supporters are idiots. They are being duped into voting to gut the social services that blue states taxes pay for to help them avoid poverty, medical bankruptcy, and the effects of climate change. Their voter habits are led first and foremost by a desire to “own the libs”, anti-LGBTQ religion and parasitic megachurches, and plain old racism. I do not believe they’re evil, but they support some really evil stuff and we’re really fucking far down the (billionaire and Russian funded/influenced) propaganda and MAGA-cult of personality rabbit hole at this point that I’m not going to just sugar coat all the nonsense they do and that they support.

I want all republicans to be able to live dignified lives and get their fair share of America’s wealth. I want our federal government to support them with free education, free healthcare, free childcare, and honestly, a basic universal income. I know that red states will never have the money to pay for these things. I don’t care. I will happily pay higher taxes for them to have these things.

But they keep voting against it. Instead, they vote in people who want to send immigrants to El Salvadorean prison camps. They commit hate crimes against my race. They ban people from Muslim countries including impacting green card holders. They don’t see any problem with the current Republican administration accidentally (or not) deporting legal immigrants or sending deportation orders to US-born US citizens.

So don’t tell me that I, or the American left-wing who is a hell of a lot nicer than this, dehumanise the right. That’s a load of shit. We’re trying to make it so the federal government will raise our taxes to help take care of them, and every other American in the bottom 99%, instead of using racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and political-belief-polarizing rhetoric to gain support with the sole purpose of (traditionally) lowering taxes for corporations and the top 1% and (now) doing a shit-ton of insider trading and cutting down voter rights.

Almost none of this is comparable to EU politics. Maybe there’s examples here and there, but especially in Western Europe, this situation does not exist in Europe, so don’t even pretend like the average MAGA supporter is the same as a SD or FN or FdI voter.

Hahahaha, ‘the left was mean to the right in the US and now Trump is very angry 😭, lets not do the same and directly give them power in Europe 🥰’

I for too think the problem of US is there is too many Marxist Leninist in it… Damn Marxist Leninist they ruined it 😂😂😂

I agree, especially in the sense that the other is also part of our society. I think it also helps to remind people in the end we are all sharing the political system that is our democracy.
