Who is more "triggered"?

Serious question.

Conservatives have hung that moniker onto liberals, democrats, progressives for years.

Yet when one looks at the various news sites it is very difficult to not see conservatives as being overly sensitive. A quick review of article titles on Fox, OAN, Newsmax, Breitbart, PJmedia and many other conservative news outlets seem to demonstrate an overt and obvious trend toward histrionics. A brief scan down the forum shows a distinct predilection of conservatives for drama.

Is it really accurate to say that liberals are "triggered"?

Well, no. Straight out of the Trump propaganda book is the technique of going after the other side for what you are doing big time. The whole "Lock her up" campaign was to cover up the criminal and corrupt activity of those calling for Hillary Clinton to be locked up. E.g., it's the principal "Lock her up" screamer, Michael Flynn, who is now a convicted felon (albeit corruptly pardoned), not Hillary Clinton, and it's the Trump charity that's been shut down, not the Clinton one.

I watched trumps post indictment rant on FOX and it was darkly entertaining, as he is always lying through his teeth. The FOX folk definitely seemed triggered in their fever dreams.

Not sure if this is an actual question seeking information or just a passive dig at the opposition, but I'll take it at face value.

As a matter of fact in the record of social phenomena, the term trigger warning and the associated worldview of some words or opinions being harmful - to the point of sometimes being equated with actual physical violence - is a phenomena of the formerly-Liberal-now-authoritarian Left. Those ideas are looked at with both confusion and scorn by the so-called Conservatives.

As far as the histrionics on conservative websites, yes I've noted it. It is mirrored by that on the other side. This is representative of the current media environment business model of outrage clicks and confirmation bubbles.

A thinking person shouldn't see himself as a member of either side; neither should he allow himself to be emotionally puppeteered by the outrage of the moment.

Kid Rock has a "No Snowflakes Tour" and he's triggered AF.

Sorry, dude. Trump is so blatantly criminal, corrupt, and treasonous that saying you can be neutral really means you are a Trumper flying a false flag.

Is that what it really means to you? So, my words mean not the plain message of what I said, but something else which you are qualified to interpret. How fascinating the way people filter words and ideas into their existing biases. I suppose it is easier that way.

Yep.. We're way, way beyond "there are two sides to this." That would be a Republican Hail Mary attempt.

That's disingenuous. Given the current climate and which party is declaring war on "woke".

It is an actual question as it has been portrayed by those on the right portraying that those on the left are the sensitive ones.

In regards to the both sides perspective, the reality is that one has to go the fringe left in order to get the equivalence of mainstream right.

A thinking person should see the reality of the rhetoric. Unless you think all people are men.... ? (Granted that's just an aside given the supposition of the male pronoun to apply to all of humanity. Just sayin'.)

Nahhh, this ain't a "both sides" issue. Most Democrats are out trying to make things easier on working people and promote inclusiveness, not scapegoating 2% of the population for being trans, or constantly whining about "wokeness", or banning books, or suppressing the teaching of actual history, or being defensive about their cult leader, or acting like the regulation of assault weapons is a sign of the apocalypse.

Face it, mainstream conservatives and their leading political candidates are drama queens.

Joe McCarthy and republican’s “Red Scare” was the first “modern” example of “triggered” (irrationally terrified / angry / accusatory) that comes to mind.

Of course the “republicans” have been “triggered” by anything that challenges the white Christian cis male status quo ever since the “GOP” became the de facto party of racists, sexists, bigots, and corporatists.

Their hyperbolic / histrionic rhetoric and behavior when confronted by change is the ultimate “tell” that they are truly “triggered “.

I think that extremists from either side are easily triggered because they are the most passionate about issues. However, I'm not aware of an extreme left that equates to not just extreme right but the entire base. It's difficult to find a reasonable Republican. Yeah, they flip out, just read the posts.
