He should know that pendulum swings both ways, not just "The Left". eg During the election Trump was the most divisive (and still is overall) person running. For every "Leftsit" attacking a Trumper, you have a Trumper attacking. It's not a one-side issue.
But there are plenty of people loudly screaming about how divisive Trump is. JP decides to mostly focus on the left.

Watch the interview, he's clearly pinning it on one-side. That not-Trumpers need to be kinder to Trumpers, because of their feelings and how they'll react.
He certainly feels the left's own bullshit lead to Trump getting into office in the first place. I know that irks you when anyone suggests the left bears any responsibility in Trumps rise, but meh.

I do love how Peterson asks a question pertaining to Trump supporters (not Trump), and the entire panel ignores it and turns it into bashing Trump. Also, remember, Mahel is the same person who painted George W. Bush and Romney as Satan. And I'm supposed to take his criticism of Trump seriously.
Correct, your hand was forced when you voted, you had no control in your actions or something. The people who supported and voted (and still support Trump), they're not the reason why Trump got votes and won. (that was sarcasm btw)
Since Peterson has made it clear that he's no friend of Trump, I think it's rather obvious he's trying to arm American Liberals with the tools they need to keep Trump out of office in 2020. On the other side, Peterson backpeddled and apologized to the alt-righters for the vitriol he threw at them because he fears he will commit the same mistake the lefties are doing to Trumpers: alienate them and make them further polarized (he wants to bring them away from their position because he views it as internally and externally harmful (fact)). So, for me, it seems like a clear MO and he is consistent with what he's trying to do.
Yep, it's telling that *nobody* could answer. There were like 4-5 people.

Lol! Love it. Because when people talk about leftists playing a role they aren't suggesting they forced them to vote. It's more nuanced than that. But then again you know that.

But he was in a leftist talk show and he is speaking to a leftist audience on how they can bridge the gap to be the more "enlightened ones (as they claim to be)" and prevent another Trump.
Edit. "purport" may have been the wrong word. Cuz it implies a claim that may be false. Thus, edited. Also, fixed typo.

Yes, you were bamboozled into becoming a Trumper by 'Leftist nuance tactics', it's simply not your fault, you weren't (aren't?) in control. You poor victim.
Rob I get it. You're gonna troll and pretend like you don't know the actual legitimate arguments people make about it. Hell, you might even demand people provide them to you, despite the fact you already know them. That will be hilarious.
I'll no longer be playing those games. Others can indulge you if they wish.

I think it's very telling and only proves Peterson's point all the more. That is the polarization between the Right and the Left. But I also think social media is helping with that polarization. The University of Chicago and UC Berkeley conducted an interview that online arguments (especially when it comes to just text based like on Facebook) found that people would just dismiss arguments (no matter how valid) and double down on their beliefs (no matter how foolish).
It said, "a broad belief that people who don't agree with you are either too stupid or too uncaring to know better." This opposed to actually listening/watching to someone speak. They were less likely to dismiss the speaker as uninformed or heartless. The conclusion, "This research suggests that the best way for people who disagree with one another to work out their differences and arrive at a better understanding or compromise is by talking to one another."
I'd post a link to the article but I think I'm still too new to do so.
Robtard, you know me, I'm not sucking JP's dick. I think JP genuinely does not want Trump elected in 2020 and is taking an interest in a political talk show to convince clear figureheads who oppose Trump, on how to be successful in preventing a 2020 Trump. Considering my bias against Trump, any great points on how to prevent a 2020 Trump is a good path to explore. That's my only interest in this topic. This is not, "Let's all bash Robtard because he's a moron" ploy and I don't want to be part of that.
He's probably not a moron, just a troll. You can tell by how he pretends not to understand how the left played a role in electing Trump.

"He's made it harder to be transgender or non-binary. I know this from personal experience. I'm non-binary and transgender"
Lol. No sane person utters those sentences.
