    No I can’t say I’ve ever seethed over a perceived or real slight from something a conservative said or did. Liberals are famously more likely to be aggravated by each other than conservatives. The entire concept of “causing offense to” and “being offended by” as a scoring system in political discourse is a distinctly conservative feature, it’s not a “both sides” kinda thing. It’s just an effect that conservatives specifically care about. It’s derived from American conservative cultural norms like traditional gender roles, views on masculinity, and virtue.

    And your meaningless generic platitudes aren’t serving anyone nor painting any truth either lol.

        It’s not a moral high ground, it’s just a difference in behavior between two general groups of people who have different values.
