"We're in the majority, so we can make fun of you/mock you/deride you--and there ain't shit you can do about it."

Ugh. That's the vibe I've been seeing on occasion. And not just with this sector of our community.

We should try to be a bit more mindful of one another, and at least stick to issues, and not personal human traits, or even associations--it's just UNKIND. And it is unnecessary too.

To say nothing of the fact that it makes us look like hellacious hypocrites!
