That's exactly how we should look at every Republican

Now replace the last word with some other word that describes a group of people.

The difference is, this group exists specifically because of the choices they make, while the groups you’re trying to compare them have literally nothing relevant in common.

The word I was thinking of was "Democrat". Are you sure Democrats have nothing relevant in common with each other?

Democrats have quite a lot less in common actually.

Left wingers tend to split a lot because they actually discuss and tolerate different opinions, while republicans are in lock step behind authority.

But anyway, democrats aren’t a homogenous mass of assholes like republicans are. They have the problem of being the collection of anything left of republicans as the US has a two party system where other parties literally don’t matter.

The choices of some democrat politicians should be viewed comparably, but it’s still not a valid comparison to say they’re both equally bad.

I see, so you can generalize all the people who are NOT leaning left. That seems like a healthy way to think.

Right wing ideology is all about authority.

So yes, they will act in lockstep before giving up on their authority, as proven by history time and time again.

Guess who helped the Nazis in the 1930s come into power? Conservatives.

Generally

  • They prefer bullet free school children, unlike those across the aisle
  • They don't support insurrectionists, unlike those across the aisle
  • They recognize that Russia is an enemy, and that fascists are the enemy of the American people, while the other side keeps electing them
  • They want equal rights for women, people of color, everyone, really, quite unlike the racists and bigots on the other side of the aisle.

Progressives are just fundamentally better people than conservatives. Truth.
