Fuck you and your spam
- It's not spam. It's one article I've posted here on this instance today and it got copied over to one other instance. Not everyone has access to every instance. So that doesn't really count as spam.
  
  Also, the article matches the title, even tho you may have tried to report it for spam by mentioning that the video had nothing to do with the article.
  
  But it's not a video article, it's an article for reading. I don't play the videos.
- Block them, the MAGAs can yell into the void.
  
  Tho I do agree with your idea of blocking, I just want to make it clear that I'm not MAGA. I'm not sure you meant that you thought I'm MAGA, but I wanted to just make that clear to any others who may be confused. I never have been MAGA, never would be.
  
  I voted Socialist.
  
  But yes, if more people just blocked posters they don't want to hear from, rather than insulting and going back-and-forth, I think it would be good for everyone long-term.
The claim that there’s so much hate and vitriol on the left and not among MAGA people is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. That’s not even remotely close to my experience on platforms like Twitter and reddit.
- Oh there's plenty of hate on both sides, but in my experience, the hate I get from the Left is much more personal. The right just thinks everyone is an idiot. The left gets up and personal when they insult tho. Not cool.
  
  I've had people on Lemmy who've followed me to other instances and other conversations just to downvote me, all because I didn't vote for Harris. The Right doesn't seem to put in that much effort it. lol
  
  Just my personal experience, and of the guy in this news article, so YMMV.
  
  Hopefully, now that the election is over, the venom and rhetoric can quiet down a little and people can start working together and not be so judgemental.
  
  Both sides need to work on that, in my opinion.
  
  The insults I get from right wingers tend to be things like “fuck you libtard pussy” while the worst from leftists is something like “I guess you love genocide”.
  
  You seem to be having difficulty determining who has self identified as an enemy to your rights.
  
  I agree; your mileage will absolutely vary, and unfortunately, likely be truncated by the very people you're apparently acting as an apologist for.
  
  No the left has people who will verbally insult you better because you're threatening their right.
  
  That's not hate. There is very little hate on the left, most of it is anger from having to survive.
Lol @ OP
- I'm not sure what that means. Care to elaborate?
I feel the same way he does when it comes to insults I have received for not voting for Harris. The grief and hate I got was way worse from Dems than Republicans (I didn't vote Trump either), especially here on Lemmy.

From the article:

But his initial revelation did receive some backlash.

'You are a dumba**,' one X user wrote.

Conservatives, he said, were more tolerant.

Bach wrote: 'I've never experienced such overwhelming kindness, understanding, and encouragement as I have from supporters of President Trump in the past 24 hours.

'And I've never faced such vicious personal attacks, name-calling, and insults—intended to wound, shame, and silence—as I have from Leftists in the same time frame.'
- So you don't like insults but voted for the guy that called Mexicans rapists and claimed immigrants eat cats and dogs? No wonder people are insulting you.
  
  Do you mean me personally? Or the guy in the article?
  
  Because to clarify if you meant me personally: I didn't vote for Trump. Never have. Never would.
  
  People were insulting me because I voted Socialist. So third party. So Dems hated me AND MAGA repubs hated me. Both sides were pissed off at me because I wasn't voting for their person. lol
  
  Which as we now know after the election results, didn't affect the outcome at all. Because even if every single person who voted third party, would have voted for Harris instead, she still would have lost. That's how big the margin of loss was.
  
  If Bernie would have ran, I would have voted for him tho.
