So to summarize, it's perfectly OK to smear the entire left with one brush, but heaven forbid anyone does it to the right.
- jalapenos 10mo agoUsually I go the "didn't deny it" route on responses like these, but it's Christmas. Smearing the right is absolutely fine - the left have honed this in expertly, so I don't think anyone on the right should be upset by it, instead just they should recognize that their enemy is what they think they are, and that they should at least learn and use all their techniques (since otherwise they'll be at a severe disadvantage since the left are already maxed out in the opposite direction). Hopefully the result from this is that the center of mentally normal and healthy people will end up empowered.
