liberals have a tendency to look for a qualifier in their political opponents that makes them a bad person with opinions not worth considering. They have to discover which aspects of your political ideology are invalid enough so they can dismiss you.
Strangely, being an idiot isn't enough for them. They think idiots can be reasoned with. You have to be compromised in some way, or lying about your ideology. They have to find that you're breaking the rules somehow. They have a hard time conceiving of a reality where their political opponents strongly believe what they mean, they have to believe you've been tricked or have ulterior motives. They think liberalism is simply the ideology you arrive at if you've thought really hard.
Exactly. Liberals don't believe they have an ideology. Ideology is something bad and brainwashed peoole have. They fundamentally think ideology is a problem and stops people from being able to understand reality the "correct" way like they do.
"Why does everything have to be political these days? Why can't we just agree on common sense and logical and objective ideas?"
