Okay. I am a liberal. Conservatives are racists, homophobes, transphobes, xenophobes and bigots.
And that's not a generalization. Do you believe me?
Try proving it.

That may well be true, but given the post history of the OP (ie repeated comments that being liberal is bad, being on the left is bad, etc) I think chastising people for accepting the thread title at face value as the opinion of the OP is off-base.
Yes, people use generalizations because it's an easier (and lazier) way to make a point. Sometimes generalizations are just an expeditious way of speaking.
And sometimes they aren't.

Do you think, honestly, that I should be labeled a terrorist??
Sure, why not? LOL
You've disguised yourself with a new Avatar (nice, BTW) so I won't know you anymore.
I'm onto you now!!
I know you love me snarl.
The place wouldn't be the same without you.

Proving what? That it's not a generalization? Or that there are conservatives out there who are racist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic and bigoted? Both would be easy to prove.

Can we call each other nazis and communist to get this over with? or nationalist vs globalist? or ethnocentrist vs traitorous(outgroup preference)
Is there anyone still trying to hold compromising positions? libertarian purist don't count either, they never compromise.
I'm content to let the left dig themselves a hole.
Let them keep:
Defending terrorist
Defending felons
Defending sharia law
Defending shutting down free speech

As do I, though that's so simple that it's been done: some of our resident lefty's have already told us they don't want anybody to die just for disagreeing with them.
My point remains that you're contending that the use of generalizations is simply an expedient speech method, and I'm contending that sometimes it isn't.
