I know many of “those people” and not a single one of them religious.
American leftist insults always go like this - X is bad, but only if it originated from us. The self loathing is amazing.
* Religion is bad, but only if it’s Christianity.
* Men are bad, unless they’re trans
* Gender is a social construct, but race is real
* culture is important, unless it’s associated with whites, because they don’t have culture
Right wing is a semi balancing act
* religion is good, unless Muslim
* men aren’t necessarily good or bad. They can be heros or villains
* boys naturally fight with sticks, it’s not taught
* American culture is just as valid as any other
Not exactly a mirror image, but enough team loyalty and justification goes on so people can pat themselves on the back as smart while the other team is delusional
"False" I can entertain, but reactionary? Elitist? Huh?
Your list of grievances is like a Fox News handout for viewers to remember what they hate about DemonRats.
Your "assumptions":
* Religion is bad, but only if it’s Christianity.
* Men are bad, unless they’re trans
* Gender is a social construct, but race is real
* culture is important, unless it’s associated with whites, because they don’t have culture
Can be "fixed":
* Your Religion is yours, don't make it mine (regardless of which flavored cult)
* Men no longer get to be the boss just because they're men
* Gender is a personal "choice"
* Culture is important (and "white culture" is tempting to make light of in that it's "punching up", and it's kind of Wonder Bread bland).
LOL IRL on the right wing balancing act, but I'll agree with the statements except for the blanket "religion is good" (it's conditional), and the Islamophobia (which I love as much as I love christianity).
I'm happy for you that you have people to pat you on the back and tell you you're smart -- we all could use a little emotional support.
Edit: I only have two Trump supporters in my friend list -- they are both intelligent, kind, and devoutly religious. Obviously I have n=2 personally, but it's a thing to very Christian and very Trumpy. It's an observation, not a judgement.
