Given that your comment has been downvoted and grayed, your observation seems to have been confirmed. My hunch is that 'the left' is much more involved in activism and that translates to being more vocal in online forums and more liberal in giving out downvotes.
- Moodles 6y agoHaha of course. I don't have any experience being a democrat in, say, Wyoming, so I'm not entirely sure if my observation is correct. But I would genuinely feel like my career is in jeopardy if I wore a MAGA hat to the tech office. I can't imagine the vice versa scenario being equally widespread in right-wing communities. So even though I live in more leftist circles, it does feel like the outrage is more intense in general. I understand there are two sides so our natural inclination is to say "both sides are equally bad!" like disciplining children or something. But sometimes one side is a little worse than the other at a particular moment in history. I don't think it makes me a partisan to point some things out.
