Which has been the case for some time. People on the left or class themselves as 'liberal' are usually the loudest and will vilify anyone on the right.

I've seen some quite disturbing posts about the Tories by Pro-Corbyn supporters...

Virtue signalling that you support the 'nice' candidate is easy but tbf, Theresa May isn't doing herself any favours with the Conservative manifesto.

Sorry, my 'surprised' comment was more that I'm surprised there isn't more the other way given who I'm friends with.

Still, if Corbyn loses I'm sure he'll just join the protests outside parliament. Why change career at this late stage?

Virtue-signalling: the latest piece of self-regarding jargon brought to you by the right-wing blogosphere in the great tradition of "snowflake"...

No, because I think, it sounds to me like a nonsensical cliché for an in-crowd.

I don't want to be a virtue signaller, I want to be a secret sinner.

more the out crowd who desperately want to be in and belong somewhere now that they have realised that the world has left them standing behind and in an ever decreasing minority, hence the invention of jargon in order to feel included and special within their own small group. A bit like the snowflakes they so profess to hate.
