That's a really funny comment, but is also kind of a gut-punch. So many people have their entire world view and sense of self tied up in political narratives (left or right) that they are actually unable to objectively explore a subject. Much easier to just downvote the "others" because they are obviously wrong. Because if they aren't wrong - maybe, just maybe - the ideological shield we use to cope with the world would start showing cracks.
