red party Kool-Aid drinkers

Is that a thing? Really? Or is that just blue party Kool-Aid drinker projection like the, "alt-left"?

I think that if you step out of your echo bunker and take an honest look you're going to find that many people who vote Liberal do so while plugging their noses. I do. Trudeau has been an incredible disappointment to me. He's far too right wing for my tastes. I would rather have a liberal leader who was actually a liberal rather than a center right corporate stooge. We just know that electing Pierre Polievre would be a far worse option.

Speaking of alt-right projection...can you name any alt-left talking heads, or alt-left organizations? Do you have any contemporary Canadian examples? I mean, most of us can name dozens of alt-right taking heads and alt-right organizations. I think that the alt-left is an alt-right boogieman made up by the alt-right to make itself feel better about its extremism. Like, "We're not as bad as everyone says we are because there's an alt-left that's doing the same things that were doing." but no one can name them.

Red party Kool-Aid drinkers are the same thing.

They're literally in a left echo chamber. Most of Lemmy is. And yet we don't see what they suggested happening - Trudeau being praised as the second coming. πŸ˜„ Heavy innuendo.

You mean, "reality"?

Well, kind of. While reality has a left bias, I don't think there are many CPC voters on lemmy.ca but they do exist in reality. I'm not complaining though! πŸ˜„ It's nice being able to discuss reality without getting dragged into fantasy by reality denying voices.
