I don't wanna be roped into this argument but you guys need to realize that both of you are correct, att he same time.
Quite a few conservatives can be bigoted, but so can some liberals, and you can't sum up an entire political spectrum as anti-everything. There are bad things people believe in on both sides of the table. Am I a leftist, sure. But i'm not gonna pretend I agree with all leftist ideals, and vice versa. Like I disagree with the concept of Anarcho-nihlism, which happens to be an extreme leftist ideology. I also happen to disagree with extreme far right ideologies. Everything is a spectrum, and everyone is in it for a different reason.
In short, both of you are correct.
