| Topic | "Moderates" who attack liberals at every given opportunity but leave |
| Anteaterking 12/29/18 1:27:54 AM #31: | ThyCorndog posted... conservatives alone for the most part except they may do a hot take and say trump is stupid too It's just a variation on "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" people, where they're just parroting the views that society pretends are the "valid" parts of both parties to feel superior to either. The easiest way to tell whether someone is truly moderate or not when they do this "equal opportunity" bashing of both sides is to see the severity of the things that they call out. Often times (in 2018 at least), these people will criticize liberals for a huge swath of policy positions and then balance that out by attacking Trump with really surface level conduct/decorum type things. They act like they're attacking both sides, but that's not really what happens. E.g. Coffeebeanz was (is?) really bad about this. She was quick to call out Trump on the easy stuff to call out Trump on to act like she had moderate bonafides when she was trashes liberals for wanting to investigate an alleged sexual misconduct by a supreme court nominee. Basically if you start a lot of sentences with "I hate Trump, but liberals are wrong...", you're more likely a conservative than you are moderate. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
