@curiousgawker so the evil are the trumpers, right? Or its radicalism evil to a 'normal' per se?

The leftists see the liberals as closer to tolerating trumpers than they are, therefore still a bit evil but less so. So the evil is values based

The normals see the leftists as too extreme and the trumpers as too extreme, so the evil is emergent from deviating too far from the norm.

The obvious question follows, what happens to normal people when normal moves towards Trumper values?

@anilmc how are normal people moving towards trumpism when leftists are literally protest-voting for trump

@curiousgawker that's not what i claimed. I am asking what counts as evil for 'normal people', and what happens to a normal person's judgement of evil (greater or lesser) when the Overton window moves and it's more normal to believe something else.

@anilmc @curiousgawker for normal people evil in the leftist sense means not just making perfect be the enemy of good, but helping good to lose to perfect. They're evil because they just can't seem to grok "good enough" and would rather the world burn than have "good enough".

This is less evil than right wingers who want to light the world on fire themselves, but it's still pretty bad.
