On the Left: There's a pretty obvious one, but I'm tired of how circular it gets, and I vowed I'd never bother to talk in-depth about it here again, so I'll put it this way:

They downplay male victims no matter how badly victimized they were by the perpetrator.

And then you have TNF's criticisms on hackery and slacktivism, National Progressive's criticisms regarding bigotry and anti-Southernism, the Kansan guy's criticism's regarding PC worship.

So I'll also add to that:

Fanaticism on Atheism
Considering dissenting opinions "ignorant" or to "lack perspective".
Hipsterism
Hatred of tradition just for hating tradition

On the Right:

Treating everything like it's an auction table and everything has some price.
Bizarre bootstraps mentality
Social Darwinism
Bigotry
Belief that all dissenting opinions are "moral hazards"
Anti-intellectualism
Anti-environmentalism
Hatred of progress, glorification of regression
Xenophobia
Loud-mouth discourse.
Low taxes obsession
Rewarding the rich regardless of the methods they used to get there

And as Clarko so nicely put out: Acting entitled to winning elections (the old '04 regular-06 midterms posts make any liberal 2014 posters bush in comparison)
