Why is it necessary to denigrate those with different political views?

[task0778]

Are we not entitled to our own opinions? Are we so certain of the righteousness of our beliefs? Never been wrong? Is it not the height of arrogance to disparage others with different views? Is condescensing sarcasm a good idea? How is this country going to fix the many problems we have if we treat each other like shit?

I see it all the time on this board: ridicule, dehumanizing, demagoguery. It ain't cool and it never helps your argument. Do you want to be that kind of person that resorts to such behavior? Or do you admit that you lack the temperament and ability to participate in a debate by articulating your opinions instead of attacking the other side? What, you can't agree to disagree without badmouthing somebody or what they wrote in a belittling way? If that is the case, then that doesn't say much for you, does it?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. They are not entitled to their own facts

When they want to loot me and enslave me, then they deserve to be denigrated, just like Nazis or Jihadis.

The leftards earn their denigration.

Coming from a PUTIN! conspiracy loon?!?

Conservatives demand politics be a sadistic zero-sum game. It's not enough to win, the opposition must lose and be continually humiliated.

Years ago, I felt as you but after a few years realized it was futile. Anonymity gives way to the anything goes mentality.

On this board, no, there's no disagreeing without badmouthing.

Hell, on this board, there's not a lot of agreeing without badmouthing.

Case in point...

 

[HenryBHough]

It's totally unnecessary to denigrate Democrats.

They do it for themselves.

And 'liberals' don't?

You know, this country isn't going to come together again until after we can get the politicians to cease with the demagoguery and rhetoric. And, one of the main offenders is Trump, because while he says that he wants the country to come together in one breath, he then tears down whoever he thinks wronged him that day and demonizes them. Sorry, but until the leadership calms down, the country won't.

The Democrats really don't have that much to say nowadays, except to badmouth people.

Back in the day, FDR ran hard against Wendell Willkie- but he didn't call him Literally Hitler.

Trump is a counter-puncher. Very unlike previous Republican Presidential candidates, who didn't respond when the libs called them racists, or fascists or Literally Hitler or worse.

Not nearly as much. Is there an equivalent to the concept of "liberal tears"?

Deplorables?

Do you seriously believe the left is less guilty of that behavior?

Less antagonistic than the Right??

Are we not entitled to our own opinions?

When the opinions seek to wreck the American dream they are no longer opinions but become weapons of war.

All the badmouthing on this thread is coming from Trumpers

Odd that huh?
