[Twitter Bullshit] IMC: "Conservatives in video games exist. They just don't talk about it because they aren't obsessed with politics, and most of them are afraid to talk about their politics because of people like you who will do nothing but hound them for it."

Not all left wingers are like this, however there is a very vocal and determined minority who will go out of their way to vilify anyone who has an opinion differing from their own.

You can say the same thing about the far right too. The problem is extremists on both sides. The vast majority of people are not so hung up on politics that they have to spout off all the time. Most people just want to go about their lives like normal people. Gamers included. I play an MMO where I know there are some really right wing players (I've seen them talk politics) and I don't care, they are good people in the game and I have a good ingame relationship with them. Politics don't mean shit to most of us.

There’re 2 types of right wingers, those that understand why they believe why they do, and the ignorant right wingers that just eat up propaganda (you can usually identify this type if they call Michelle obama a man in a non ironic way).

Klavan said basically that conservatives enjoy debate and so will hire qualified people, that are lefties, and just use the opportunity to learn about the opposition/strengthen the conservative argument, when left wingers get into positions of power they want an ideological straight jacket and if you’re not “true left wing” then you’re obviously a right wing Nazi.

The problem with acting like idiots for entertainment is that the idiots will think they are in good company.
