It appears it isn't difficult to annoy and offend leftist Democrats in America. All it seems one does is tell them the observable truth and they go apeshit.

Unhappy people are psychologically fragile
Yes, they are. There are many of them and they vote!
Yeah. I haven't concluded what I'd prefer over democracy yet, but this can't be the ideal system.
Yes!
The word “Bitcoin” is enough to offend many on the left. But there’s plenty of willful ignorance from the MAGA extremists too. The center is a lonely place to be, because few appreciate nuance or grey areas.
Ya. Plenty of cause and effect happening. If the Democrats weren't becoming so deep left, they wouldn't have created MAGA or Trump which to me isn't even very deep right.
Totally, and with the right you just ask how much do you want to bet there won't be another coldest year ever record broken in their lifetime and.... Crickets, no SATs wagered😀
Reality is a bitch for everyone I guess....
💯
This can apply to conservatives too.
Ask them what “they are conserving”
EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL.
The left is irreparably broken and won't be recovering for years. They broke themselves by embracing the exact principles they apparently fight against. Absolutely fascinating self immolation.
every word I say .. hurts someone ... silence is survival in woke world !
Very astute Alex - miss the days when it was normal to have civil and respectful discourse and debate regardless of political preferences. Another reason why I appreciate #nostr and the general ability to freely express ourselves
🙂 Same
People here are generally less angry and they're not out for blood.
works great for right wingers too, just different truths 😉
What are some?
One weird trick! Right wingers will hate you!
When the government oppresses you long enough and hard enough all you have to do is get together with your ten thousand best friends and break shit until they listen.

Well that method doesn't work. It has hurt people and livelihoods more than it's meant to change. If they want real change, bring the guns out. Otherwise it looks like children getting together misbehaving for a cause.
Look Ma! I found the right winger!
Here are some counterexamples. Food for thought. 🥪🧠
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage_in_the_United_States
Women wanted to vote. So they got together and forced the men in power to let them vote. This protest is notable for it's peaceful nature. Gotta give it to the ladies on this one. Nicely done. 🤝
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots
Beginning of the gay rights movement. As a result of the Stonewall riots, NY gays stopped getting hassled by the cops. The LGBT community now throws an annual worldwide parade to celebrate this inflection point. It's a banger too! 🌈🎊
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests_in_Atlanta
A cop murdered a black man in cold blood on camera for the world to see. Many such cases. The cops never see justice. This time around the streets started talking and that cop is now in jail where he fucking belongs. It took about a dozen riots over the decades but better late than never. I call that social progress. 👮♂️⛓️
Many examples outside of the US:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Revolution

In light of the prevailing evidence, I think it's time you update your priors. But nobody can change your mind except you. 🤷
Revolutions, sure .. your first example were a bunch of kids whose panties got tied up in knots and reacted.
Of course, it is your type to call everyone right winter because they disagree with you.
I think you should see a therapist.
Your pfp indicates you're a woman. Do you vote? You can thank those kids with knotted panties who fought and went to jail to secure those rights.
The difference between a riot and a revolution is how hard and how long each side is willing to push, and what tactics they are willing to adopt.
I generally avoid political labels because they tend to obscure the real nature of things more than to reveal it. You might try adopting a more neutral view. It's a real mask off moment.
Come back to me when you start giving less fucks about what people think and spew on the internet.
this is weird stuff right here. 🤪
I can't call them left, but i know what you mean
