Does the report say anything about the psychology of those who feel the need to label their ideologic opposition with unflattering buzz words and to paint them with absurd generalizations?

"Conservative news and Youtube"... LOL
Oh man, and you've got the gumption to claim that I'm the one assuming. LOL
But no, feel free to play the eternal SJW "victim card" and claim someone is "assuming half of your conversation".
Personally, I couldn't care less that you refuse to listen to people who might disagree with you. Even when you're lumping people into imaginary categories of "you guys" (which apparently has something to do with... "conservative news"! again... LOL).
It's clear that you didn't comprehend my posts in this thread (or that you haven't even bothered reading them), or you wouldn't have made such a hilarious "conservative news" claim.
As I said earlier, it's ironic how much the far left and far right have in common. Your George W. Bush false-dilemma mentality of, "you're either with us, or against us" has at least been good for a laugh. Thanks!
Sorry to break it to ya, but there's plenty of folks like me who think that both the left, and the right are highly flawed. Especially when it comes to the two corrupt major political parties.
Heck, you're even arguing with Pyle! Asking if Pyle's "mad", and suggesting that Pyle just "sit back and deal with it" when clearly Pyle's post was worded in a left leaning manner by questioning the psychology of Trump supporters. LOL

Many people who encounter leftists, particularly social justice warriors, become highly frustrated with their inability to address any debate in a mature and sensible manner. They immediately resort to verbal insults (racist is one of their favorite words) and, if given the chance, they will find a way to use the system to silence you. They are today's authoritarians. However, there is a psychological reason for them to behave the way they do. Hint: It has to do with their own insecurities and self-doubts.
Thus, authoritarians generally favor the established ways and oppose social and political change.
Conservatism as a political and social philosophy promotes retaining traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization.
Projection is the psychological phenomenon where someone denies some aspect of their behavior or attitudes and assumes instead that others are doing or thinking so. It is usually seen as the externalisation of a person's negative traits, placing blame on an outside force such as the environment, a government, a society or other people.

Wow, what a projection and deflection attempt.
People who voted for Trump and other Republicans (so-called 'conservatives') are the ones who crave authoritarianism.

Isn't that what makes a conservative a "conservative"?

But instead here, you've projected what is a traditional conservative trait onto someone you don't like, accusing them of the very things you are guilty of. That's called projection.

Nice try, Trump does it compulsively, and his tactics appear to be spreading. You can always identify what Trump and others using projection are guilty of -- just look at what they accuse others of.
It's like when your cheating spouse or girlfriend accuses YOU of cheating all the time ... but in reality she's the guilty party.
How many of us have seen THAT happen?

For goodness sake, I keep having to look up the latest smears on each post - this time had to see what a SJW is... and the whole "triggered" over usage is starting to "trigger" me - can't you people use a little creativity in your personal smears and insults????
The left has nothing over the right, in this area. At least not from what we can see on this site. From snowflakes to libtards, the right has more than enough mudslinging going on from their corner to keep the two sides at a tie.
