People judging people's level of intelligence based on how they lean politically, for me.

    I guarantee you hold right wing views on certain things.

    How are you going to solve Afghanistan?

    The US was trying to "solve" Afghanistan through violent means which not only have failed for 20 years, but the conflict of today has been stoked even earlier by the US financing the current terrorists and calling them "anti-Soviet freedom fighters". So no, a right wing answer to the conflict has been proven by history to be utterly idiotic and only beneficial to american capital.

    Now I know why you don't have any friends. People aren't low iq or evil just because they have a different opinion man.

    If you choose a perspective that outwardly chooses to harm people, and you are not of low intellect, then you are simply choosing to harm people. That is evil. Choosing to bring harm to people over other alternatives is wrong, bad, and as an ideology, evil.

    You just gave me a new one: "people who refer to someone's political opinion as "evil" just because they don't personally agree". It's not like we're discussing Nazis here man.

    So the same could be said about the left-wing ideology because it "consists" of Leninism? How is this making any sort of sense to you?

    Don't bother arguing with them, they're from sh.itjust.works. Probably a right-wing douche.

    just because they don’t personally agree

    I hate this cowardly bullshit right wingers use to make themselves feel oppressed. If I say you're a wretched animal who doesn't deserve human dignity, and you say I'm wrong, I could point it right back at you. Fuck off with that. What are the disagreements? This isnt a water cooler talk about a TV show, this is the life, suffering and death of millions. Yeah I don't personally agree that the poor and hungry should die on the street while rich fucks hoard houses, and if you think otherwise, I'm completely comfortable calling you evil, because you are.

    The face of right-wing politics is wedge issues and conspiracy theories. It's not as if people are being judged for believing in a smart conservative fiscal policy because that is no longer something the modern Republican party represents.

    Yeah, no it's pretty fair assessment of the party. You as an individual may have different beliefs, but your differing beliefs don't represent the party and their rhetoric.

    FFS the ex president convinced a mob of people that the election was rigged and they stormed the Capitol Building looking to capture/kill the legislators who were confirming the results. If a republican president of the United States doesn't represent the republican party then who does?

    You can probably actually do this reliably in cases where those political views work against the persons interests. It's not like people voting against their own interests is an uncommon phenomenon.

    It's very possible to vote against your own interests for the good of society though- a billionaire might vote to increase taxes on himself, for example.

    One of the many issues with the majority of right-wing voters in the US is that the votes they cast are against both their best interests and the interests of society, and that's what makes them evil and/or stupid.
