A huge difference between right-wingers and left-wingers lies in the degree of their knowledge of each other’s narratives.
Right-wingers have an exhaustive knowledge of the left’s interpretation of every event, be it current or past. It’s impossible to avoid that knowledge because it’s everywhere. It’s being stuffed down one’s gullet whether one wants it or not.
Left-wingers, on the other hand, have not a whit of knowledge about the worldview of the right. They debate with their fantasy of the right that is not grounded in anything resembling reality.
The right-wing narrative of America’s past and present is one of this country’s most closely kept secrets. I am still not over the feeling of utter shock I experienced when I discovered it and realized how different it is from what I was told. Also, how logical and not at all insane it was unlike the competing and dominant narrative maintained by the left.

For something of a “closely held secret”, they speak a lot about it — in a lot of racist and sexist terms, if you ask me — every opportunity they get. So maybe it’s you who haven’t been listening.
