The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to “Leftists who won’t vote” & “MAGA Republicans” teaming up to “getting revenge on liberals”.

    This whole wing of the leftist movement that accuses everybody of being a secret liberal is really stupid and I don’t feel like wasting my time engaging with somebody choosing to take the dialog to that level.

        Well, I would say that you should actually read Vonnegut instead of using his quotes in ways in which they weren’t intended.

        Because I can assure you, he didn’t make that statement in support of the left shutting down productive communication with each other by accusing each other of being “closeted” liberals.

        The close mindedness is going to make you fall victim to things worse than liberalism if you decide to not work on that current but fixable flaw.
