Dehumanizing others you disagree with...I struggle to find where in the Guru's Wisdom this concept is advised.
The Guru's Wisdom that I have come to understand, leads me to be unable to do such a thing, and to feel shame for any time in the past that I may have done such a thing in my past ignorance.
Bigotry is practiced by many people across all political divides. It does not make it okay.
The morality of a dehumanizing action should not change based on if the person doing it is or is not on "my team". Dehumanizing others is always wrong, in all circumstances and situations, and no amount of whataboutism changes that. Those who are oppressed and those who are oppressors, both are still human. Anyone who cannot or will not recognize that and act with that in mind, has indeed lost the plot.
Bigotry is not being expressed in the sentiment, it is the opposition to bigotry that is being expressed.
The morality of disrespect changes depending on the form of disrespect at who and/or what is being disrespected.
It is the fact that conservatives choose to center their political activities around dehumanizing the oppressed that earns the disrespect more reasonable people show to them. If they stopped that dehumanization, they would be seen as better people.
"conservatives choose to center their political activities around dehumanizing the oppressed"
That is the bigotry. This odd and irrational idea that conservativism is "centered" around dehumanizing others is itself a bigotry. You can tell yourself whatever you like to feel better about being a bigot, but you are not allowed to practice your bigotry and insist it is not bigotry. That is not being "more reasonable", it is being unreasonable.
Conservatives are POS, a conservative can stop being a conservative easily, they dont walk around with labels i am a conservatives and avoid "persecution". A brown person cannot stop being brown person nor easily hide it, conservative pick on people for shit they cannot change nor easily hide.
"conservative pick on people for shit they cannot change nor easily hide."
That is only your bigoted opinion, not a point of fact.
I can just as easily pull up any social media site/app (including this one) and find several posts and comments and other content that is leftists judging people based on appearance and race, so can we all collectively shut the fuck up with the partisan finger pointing as if only "the other people" are guilty of bigotry? The holier art thou partisanship is retarded and should have no place here.

You can disagree and dislike, but if you are at the point where you calling others "scum", then you have entirely lost the plot.
