With Theoren Fleury and Jamie Sale (look them up, if you are unaware of whom they are) running rampant on Twitter, my wife asked me why they think they way they do...

… to which I replied, "hell if I know, I'm not in their brains," but I did point out one thing in common that I have recently realized, that they and the overwhelming majority of the right (all over the world, not just in the USA or NA), are all just assholes. Big, loud, oftentimes classless, just assholes. Rude people, nasty people.

The left may be all granola and radical ideas, but at least people are nice, down to Earth, TOLERANT people. You won't see the left attempt to ransack a government building or occupy a city and torment citizens for weeks, severely affecting their QoL (for the worse).

The right are just assholes, right or wrong, intelligent or stupid, hardworking or lazy, etc., etc., they all have shitty attitudes.

Of course, there are exceptions (absolutely nothing is black and white and George W. Bush, for example, I would hardly call an asshole at all, while Kamala Harris I absolutely WOULD call an asshole lol) and even on the left, not everyone is tolerant and decent, but the left seemingly looks to compromise and work together for bettering the lives of many and for the greater good, while the right is all about greed, selfishness and just all-around stirring up anger.

Anger, outrage, being an asshole, these are seemingly all badges of honour for the right and if you don't speak your mind and attack with your words (or with physicality), you're a snowflake, "woke person on the left," which is just more inflammatory and assholeish behaviour.

Trump, DeSantis, Cruz, Polievre, Johnson, Meloni, these are all MASSIVE assholes. Loathsome people, whether they are good at what they do or not.

Biden, AOC, Obama, Trudeau, Ardern, Store, while, "weak, snowflakes, bumbling, stupid, etc.," are tolerant, level-headed and (at least, in the public eye) attempt to do what is best for their people, whether they are good at what they do or not.

Can't stress enough that this IS a generalization and there are exceptions, but this is what I've observed from the majority of both sides of the spectrum.

FTR, I align slightly left of center; sometimes you need a bit of asshole to go with your tolerance (essence of Ying and Yang)





Tribalism and, "my team!"

People want to be seen/known as winners and, "being the good guys," with like-minded people.

That's all.

You won't see the left attempt to occupy a city?  Seattle ring any bells?  And saying everyone on the right is an asshole with shitty attitudes makes your comment that the left is tolerant rather comical.
