I mean I was socially liberal and fiscally conservative (whatever that means now). I live in sf so I mostly voted for republicans down ballot because I wanted more of a split government. Nationally I was 50-50.
What I still, to this day, don’t understand is why the fuck dems protest dems and not protest republicans. It’s the dumbest shit …

My theory is that the left, at this point in time, simply doesn't enjoy fighting MAGA Republicans, if nothing else because they can't comprehend them.
Like Trump, MAGA Republicans don't play by the rules--they kick you in the nuts, pull out bazookas during a knife fight, stab you in the back during negotiations. Fighting with them is like staring into the abyss, and realizing it's staring right back at you. It's unsettling, and could potentially drives one mad.
So they'd much rather fight people they CAN comprehend--each other!
It feels better, and more righteous. Plus, when you've convinced yourself you're going to lose anyway, you're not focused on the actual enemy, you're focused on factional warfare, the better to cast blame after defeat.
(Beyond that, the left feels they should've "won the battle of ideas" against the likes of MAGA by now, and hates repeating itself besides, so they don't even try to engage in that battle. It's those OTHER leftists that need cutting down to size. See Monty Python, "People's Front of Judea" sketch, etc.)
Ha. Some truth here. Also a Black Lives Matter protest at maga would turnout something like this: “black lives matter. Treat them with respect.” “Fuck that. Let’s kill some more peeps!!!” “Uh oh…”
Yeah the lack of cohesion is good in that the party will never go down a rabbit hole like Trump but bad for driving a message.
I don’t think it’s a personality thing on protesting dems and attacking dems though. I think, rightfully in most cases, republicans don’t want to govern and they could careless if some hippies protest them but dems actually care

We have always been less cohesive, that is an advantage Repuboicans have, sometimes to bad ends, like now.
But, we just for whatever reason, we are more likely to attack our own for not following what we want...
Think that is a personality difference?
