I disagree, most of the time it's the left saying we are the better educated or our measures are the ethical ones, not to mention the drumming up of the grievances of racial/sexual or any other class which do nothing but to divide people. From personal experience, i have yet to see a conservative friend or acquaintance shame or shun another who espouses liberal values, the opposite however is all too common. Obviously the right has its own problems, elitism and division policies aren't one of them.
The problem with most liberals is that they would prefer to be right than they would prefer to win. Their utopianism always trips them up, sending them chasing every pet issue under the sun and then shooting each other in the face for failing to live up to those ideals.
The trouble with many conservatives is that they presume the future should be just like the past and fall in love with that belief in stability, even though the world changes and it isn't even possible anymore. And they presume the world is fair enough as it is.
Both these days are guilty of single-issue politics, however.

the trouble with most conservatives is that they like to blame others because they are easily misled by the people in charge who want to use cheap labor and keep the poor fighting against imaginary foes like antifa.
the rich benefit from this because they want less regulation, less lower middle class, and therefore more money for them. But the poor fucks go along with it on the hopes that someday they’ll be rich too

Creating a common enemy is the oldest political trick in the book, whether it's Russian commies in the New World or poverty.
The rich do benefit because once you've found a way to get leverage and master the game, you don't want the rules to change. And when the rules do change, you want to be the influencer who whispers in the ears of the rules-writers to ensure it works for your benefit. Mutual back-scratching ensues.
More and more I'm realizing how much the US has in common with apartheid South Africa. I wasn't sure I'd ever say that, as that's quite a leap, but there are a lot of similar attitudes and themes in the people themselves.

Says the guy who calls everyone on the left a commie and says “only good commie is a dead commie.”
Go promote “Pedo-gate” and deny the Holocaust some more, bro. Hitler is unfairly maligned. That kool-aid is super tasty.

Right wing nationalism/fascism killed no one at all, I guess. I mean, it was only the root cause of both world wars. But hardly anyone died in those.

“ Davies, now in her early 40s, said of the massage pictures: 'Although the image looks bizarre, President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him.'
She explained the massage happened when 'we had a stop-over for the jet to refuel and while we were in the terminal the ex-President was complaining of stiffness from falling asleep in his chair.”

Don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
