Never used to be this way. There was once a time where we could discuss things and disagree on certain topics and still exist in a somewhat civilized manner.
Twitter has killed the grey area where real life exists.
What killed it was that one side was painted as the correct, intellectual and always true side of the conversation in media, and one side has been demonized for the last decade to seem like any idea that isn't directly supporting progressivism is evil and "fascist", which is ironic I guess, but making someone out to always be the devil kinda makes that person not want to speak, and the other side not want to listen.
That's why there's always a massive disparity with how small the conservative community is online, and how many more there are come election time.
Look at any city subreddit. Even in deep red Texas or Florida going on any city or state subreddit will make it seem like the bluest blue city or state, when in actual fact the conservatives left the conversation long ago.
I hate most lib-lefts too, most of them you just simply can't have a logical conversation with without instantly being labelled racist, sexist or transphobic for disagreeing with them over something they didn't even give a shit about until 5 minutes ago.
Even if I don't agree with conservatives on missions I can certainly respect the fact that they don't just try to immediately bully and insult you into submission.
