In my personal experience the left is much worse at handling disagreement. I have had lefties get angry at my more conservative opinions, but conservatives never seem to get angry when I'm more liberal than them.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoWhen it comes to day to day interactions, it probably varies a lot between circles. Having been raised in a deep red area but living in a more blue area the past decade or so, my experience has generally with a few exceptions been the opposite… lots of buttons I need to tiptoe around and avoid accidentally pushing when visiting back home.
- kcplate 4y agoI live in a deep red area and I am a liberal. I’ll happily share my thoughts or talk politics with pretty much any conservative I meet and rarely have I encountered a person that gets angry about my opinions. They might disagree, be dismissive, offer to pray for me, or give me the fabled “bless your heart”, but they are generally polite. However, I avoid those kind of conversations with most anyone who I know to be “on the left”, because those conversations tend to sour faster than milk on a hot day. Literally I have been told that not being “liberal enough” is worse than being a conservative.
