    Purity testing.

    If you don’t align with the party narrative 100%, down to the atom, then you’re basically maga.

    I don’t think people realize this is a major factor that drives people away from progressive politics.

    When a conservative meets someone more conservative, they bitch about liberals. When a leftist meets someone more left than them they compete with each other to see who’s most “pure.”

    This is a major problem.

      And if you point this out to progressive people as to nobody likes them and how offputting/alienating they are. You are clearly MAGA or voted for Trump. Clearly if only you were ‘enlightened’ like them you’d 100% agree with them and have no separate ideas, opinions, or life experience of your own.
