Whenever I try to talk politics (or ESPECIALLY world events) with Liberals, as soon as they determine that I am a leftist, they just get so fucking smug and have this sense of self-superiority about them. Exactly zero interest in having a good faith discussion. They are so incredibly dismissive and condescending.
Of course, no matter how much evidence that you provide, or how well you frame your arguments, you just get eye rolls and dismissed out of hand.
I am reminded of the Bernie campaigns when the liberal media pundits would behave with nothing more than sneering contempt at young people who just wanted fucking health care.
We know that they’re like this BUT WHY? Why are they all such smug shit stains? I stg it’s like their defining trait.
I find this usually stops once they realize what type of leftist I am. If they see you as some non-threatening electoralism following leftist they will act like that but whip out the “I hope Iran sinks a US Aircraft Carrier.” or the “China is the only hope for humanity’s future.” and it turns into outrage pretty quick lol.
