This thing is phrased in a really weird way. First: "The left believe the right are dumb and don't have values" followed by "Evidence the left are correct" then "They're as bad as each other".
- rinze 6y agoI'm trying to find your quoted phrases inside the article and I'm not able to. Can you paste the entire paragraph?
- zo1 6y agoHe's paraphrasing. E.g. the first part about the left thinking the right are dumb and without values is covered with this quote from the article: "From the “vast right-wing conspiracy” through the “basket of deplorables” to now, the Democratic message increasingly focuses on the illegitimacy of the ordinary conservative voter’s opinion: ignorant, conspiratorial, and racist, so terrible that the only hope is mass-reprogramming by educated betters."
- xibalba 6y agoNo, I don't think so. Rather, Taibbi proposes that the very wealthy and powerful see as useful the division of the country into a "stupidity death-cult" vs. "roving bands of Pelosi-coddled Antifa troops looking to 'attack your homes'".
- eplanit 6y agoThe Right looks at the Left and finds them misguided and stupid. The Left looks at the Right and finds them evil.
- watwut 6y agoConservative people think "left" iz evil and disgusting too.
