A few things. 1: Of course I'm generalizing. It's reddit. I'm not going to type a nuanced essay. There's idiots everywhere I realize that. 2: I know you guys had Johnson over there, but I don't think you can understand the nuance behind people's political sidings in the US if you are from London like you say. Trump (who didn't even win the popular vote) and the conservative right have done more damage to modern democracy and human rights in the last 6 years than I think can ever be undone in our lifetime. They're succeeded in taking away women's right for abortions, while fighting for more gun rights. They demand absolute freedom for businesses to exploit their workers. Most of them are anti-vaxxers, and even refused to belive that the corona virus EXISTED for months. The pandemic probably would have ended 6 months earlier for you guys over there in England if it wasn't for the idiots over here who refused to follow the rules, wear masks, get vaccinated, or even to not go to mass gatherings or concerts. Most of those people who refused to follow the rules are conservative. And they're PROUD of it. I'm willing to hear them out, but I don't have a lot of patience for people calling me "liberal" like that makes me out of touch nowadays.
Also, let's be real, the UK isn't exactly a bastion of open-minded thinking and sensitivity. I'm gonna have some guy from "Complain and Drink on an island: colony, the country" lecture me on political correctness and what the standard around the world is.
