You've edited your post since my initial comment so I'm going to make another one.
You say that you think having "widely different" opinions on different issues and I wholeheartedly agree. But there's an attitude expressed by OP and by many people on the left in general that I find somewhat contradictory. If I might borrow a phrase generally only used by the left, there's a lot of "tone policing" directed at conservatives and I don't feel that the left is subject to the same criticism.
I hear people on the left welcome differing opinions, only to absolutely pick apart every single word just looking for something offensive so the entire piece can be dismissed. I firmly believe that you shouldn't be deliberately antagonistic when trying to get a point across but it seems like the standard for a non-offensive conservative viewpoint is almost impossibly high.
Personally, I don't really blame the left in general as much as I blame the rise of "outrage culture", which is - unfortunately - by no means only on the left. Goodness knows Fox News has a habit of getting riled up over nonsense while ripping the left for getting offended by shit.
What I take issue with is how the left claims to oppose antagonistic behavior in all forms yet turns a blind eye towards those on the left who are belligerent. I once read a DailyKos article (huge mistake) where the male author absolutely belittled those that own guns for self defense as cowards. He said that "real men" trust a baseball bat to defend their families.
...Now that sounds like a lot of Stone Age bullshit to me, and even as a conservative with a preference for traditional gender roles I wouldnt dare resort to that sort of childish talk. But, because that vitriol was directed at gun owners, I didn't hear anyone on the left get upset by it.
So you know, I really don't listen to people who complain about tone anymore. I've come to the conclusion that just about everyone who complains about "vitriol" is a hypocrite because they've done the same damned thing at some point.
