Seriously though, usually when they're new they think nobody has ever heard their POV before. I used to pull the same nonsense with my libbytarian line of crap. |
Yes, I live in Texas, and we are capable of having perfectly civil conversations here.
The thing is, being rude and abusive isn't a good way to get people to understand where you're coming from. I don't want to believe that people who disagree with me politically are not decent human beings, but it does bother me that the online right-wingers just seem to be such pricks. It makes their political stance appear to be a throwback to simpler, more hate-filled times. I don't think that's the case necessarily, but they aren't helping by acting the way they do.
