The claim that there’s so much hate and vitriol on the left and not among MAGA people is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. That’s not even remotely close to my experience on platforms like Twitter and reddit.

Oh there's plenty of hate on both sides, but in my experience, the hate I get from the Left is much more personal. The right just thinks everyone is an idiot. The left gets up and personal when they insult tho. Not cool.

I've had people on Lemmy who've followed me to other instances and other conversations just to downvote me, all because I didn't vote for Harris. The Right doesn't seem to put in that much effort it. lol

Just my personal experience, and of the guy in this news article, so YMMV.

Hopefully, now that the election is over, the venom and rhetoric can quiet down a little and people can start working together and not be so judgemental.

Both sides need to work on that, in my opinion.

You seem to be having difficulty determining who has self identified as an enemy to your rights.

I agree; your mileage will absolutely vary, and unfortunately, likely be truncated by the very people you're apparently acting as an apologist for.

I'm not acting as an apologist for anyone. Just because I disagree with you or have a different point of view does not mean I am being an apologist for people.
