The people who talk about kindness are centrists. They're the same people who want compromise between the left, who want rights and protections for citizens, and the right, who want to demonize and murder people. Do not tolerate centrists.

    yeah, anyone trying any kind of "both sides make good points" argument these days is probably someone whose personal rights are not at stake.

    There are three kinds of people who say "both sides" the apathetic, the Fascists, and the Libertarians (IE. Republicans who figured out being a republican makes everyone hate them)

    The US Libertarian Party is really rather removed from libertarian parties of other natures or typical libertarian ideology. As far as I can tell the major difference between being US Libertarian or Republican is that Libertarians actively do not care if they're hated. Notoriously, Penn Gillette divorced himself from libertarianism because the Libertarian Party got too obnoxious for him.

    Typically, Republicans trying to distance themselves from Republicanism pretend to be conservative independents. Bill O'Reilly has asserted such as has others on the FOX News cast. (Tucker Carlson, maybe? I wonder if it's a FOX News editorial guidelines to assert party neutrality, even as they were giving Trump softball interviews or letting him rant on the phone for 60+ minutes at a time.)

    100% this. My parents live in a red-ish county. They’re very liberal themselves but constantly go on about how lovely people are up there and how they’ll really help you when you need it

    That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m sorry I can’t help but see them as people voting against my rights
