At this point I'm growing to hate liberals more than I hate conservatives. Conservatives openly embrace their evil and don't pretend to be anything else; Liberals pretend they're good people and get very upset when you point out that the things they support (cough cough, genocide) are evil, whereas conservatives say "hell yeah we love murdering {insert racial slur}" and then nobody minds when you throw rocks at them.
We've all read it but this MLK passage came to mind when I read your comment and vigorously agreed that I hate the American liberal's politics more than the American conservative's:
Love this
Malcolm X also has a good quote about this to and relates to what you said.
tbh this one hits harder
God damn this is perfect and feels so relatable. It feels kind of heartbreaking that I didn't read this when I was a child, it might have helped.
I keep thinking about this quote, it's so good. I can't find it anywhere online and want to share it with people; do you have a link?
It's from Malcolm X's "God's Judgement of White America (The Chickens Come Home to Roost)" speech in 1963. It is hard to find, and like going to audio portions for it, I could only find one small audio snip it that speech. But here a few links to the transcribed speech.

Thank you!
This lesser of two evils thing is starting to get philosophical isn’t it
For real. I can't even tell which side is more evil now. Maybe the nature and expression of their evil is slightly different, but it sums up to about the same magnitude of evil overall.
Actually, hilariously conservatives think they're good people too
Maybe it just feels that way to me because I have been taken in by liberals' false nicety but have not been fooled by conservatives because they're so obviously evil
I tend to hate conservatives more than liberals, but most of the liberals I know are more the confused apolitical not fantastic politics but also not totally shitty people type. But then something like this happens and I'm exposed to the epic redditor or the back to brunch crowd and I remember just how absolutely insufferable liberals can be. Out of touch, pretentious, and so confidently wrong about everything. Can't these people get like one win without just turning into the most insufferable people on the planet?
