I don’t think anybody in NA understands the difference between liberal, conservative, social democrat, left-wing, right-wing, socialist, communist, or any of those terms. They just wildly call anybody they don’t agree with one of those terms, because to them, they are just insults like cunt, prick, asshole, idiot, bitch, retard, etc. They have no fucking clue what they actually mean.
I hate American political discourse. It’s a load of Us versus ((them)), black & white, stuff like that, with fanaticism otherwise reserved for football teams (doesn’t matter what they call football & what most of the world calls football), latching onto relatively trivial things & making that part of your identity, and zero room for nuance.
