i think you're right on this one. Liberals online like to pick apart sentences and scream at you to stay on topic or adhere to some complex rules of etiquette. In real life it's far easier to fluster them, especially if they can't link you to their favorite Medium article or whatever. I can't ever imagine a liberal trying to call me a tankie in real life. The idea of them speaking the word aloud is ridiculous and they'd know it. I think we'd both die from embarrassment on the spot.
I've done union organizing and while most have been reactionary Trump types because of the area, we did have one smug liberal type. All we really had to do was say, "Hey, now's not the time." to the liberal and they'd always shut up just from that.
