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
Some people support things based on hate, but unless you can read minds you can't generalize that. And also not all conservatives are christians
Can you give me one singular reason to oppose gay marriage that isn't based on hate?
The meme is about conservatives not liking tattoos, are just just adding this gay-hating claim to justify your hate for them?
Ok, so you do admit that opposition to gay marriage is based on hate. Good.
And the discussion was about the fact that the vast majority of conservative policies are dictated by fear. Have you forgotten?
No, I did not, I can't read minds unfortunately. And no, we're in a comment thread about a meme.
