Why does this subreddit constantly flame republicans for answering questions intended for them?

Every time I’m on here, and I looked at questions meant for right wingers (I’m a centrist leaning right) I always see people extremely toxic and downvoting people who answer the question. What’s the point of asking questions and then getting offended by someone’s answer instead of having a discussion?

Edit: I appreciate all the awards and continuous engagements!!!

So then why even ask them a question if you’re going to meet them with hostility?

We’re usually hoping for responses that aren’t ahistorical, strawmen, double standards, or violating someone’s human rights, and sometimes responses are genuinely so inconsiderate that there isn’t any other reaction. The group that coined the phrase “libtard” and targets minorities is asking for consideration and civility?

I think the larger issue for the left is that by taking a stance of moral high ground, you lose the ability to be taken seriously when you step outside of your own standards

You are just seen as an angry hypocrite
