(7,911 posts)To people on the right, absolute loyalty is expected. Anyone who disagrees with anything you say is "slamming" you.
To us on the left, open debate and disagreement, often strong disagreement, and sometimes even DISAGREEMENT in all caps, is the rule. The right likes to call us snowflakes, but the truth is, you can't be a lefty and be a snowflake. You have to have the strength of your convictions, and the willingness to have those convictions challenged and questioned. It's the RW that are the true snowflakes. They only hang out with others of like mind. Here on the left you'll be hard pressed to find any two people who are "of like mind". We all disagree with each other on almost every issue imaginable. If you truly want to be a lefty, you'll have to have tougher skin than Trump and his RW followers.
Remember, it wasn't Clinton who spent the whole campaign whining. It was Trump and the entire right wing, including Fox News. And they are still whining to this day about being slammed. You know who isn't whining about being slammed? Us lefties, that's who.
