Conservatives are much more hateful than any stereotype
Does that mean you should be too?
I should be what? A conservative? No, thank you, I live in reality and I'm not scared of made-up culture war bullshit
No, hateful. Just because someone else does something stupid doesn't mean you should
Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren't, you're hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives
Why are you generalizing a political movement?
How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?
This is not a general thing amongst conservatives, that would be ridiculous
Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven't you heard?
I've seen strong polarization in politics, and people demonizing their opponents. Thinking the majority falls in that extreme spectrum is a ridiculous notion imo
Well... if a conservative:
supports gay marriage
doesn't believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
supports transgender athletes
supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
is okay with drag shows and doesn't believe they're automatically unsuitable for children
doesn't believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country's history
supports immigration
supports diversity and inclusion
doesn't believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
doesn't support patriarchy
defends women's rights to abortion
believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc
Is this person still a conservative?
That is a long list, perhaps there's nuance here? Someone can support some of those and not others, and still mostly lean into a particular political direction
Yeah. There's a lot of things that conservatives hate, that's what I was saying since the beginning. And I didn't even mention the hate of non-christians, for example, or for socialists.
And if you support some things but not the others, you're still supporting policies based on hate, so my point stands
