    Unfortunately in this case, it’s projection. The right falls in line and they accomplish stuff because of that. The left could really learn from that.

      They definitely can. It’s been off putting lately that the left has a check list that I have to hit every mark on to not be seen as a right winger.

      There are leftist who are Christian. There are leftists who are against abortion, but understand that education and reproductive health (including allowing abortions) is an important and productive way to reduce abortions, instead of bans. There are leftists who are still traditional, holding morals and ethics that aren’t fluid but also not rigid.

      No one is truly happy about their political choices. Except for the insane 1/3 of Americans on the Maga train maybe.

      A lack of free and critical thinking is probably the reason the Right have such an easy time falling in line with whatever their figurehead happens to be peddling at the time.
