The only argument against conservatism is "racist sexist bigot homophobe" etc. The fact that u keep falling for it is your bit.


Also "super predators" Robert kkk bird j William fullbright Margarete sanger Al gores father lbj etc.

 

I've learned a lot from you these past few months, and even though I don't agree with you on many issues (although I do regarding BLM, which is odd if you really knew anything about me) I've come to respect you.

 

The "racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe" argument isn't an argument against conservatism inherently in my opinion only a portion of it (extreme social). It's an argument against the candidates propped up by the Repbulican party, which said party does nothing to correct nor mitigate. Why would one intentionally allow themselves to be portrayed as the party of the "straight, white male" considering how diverse this country is? By allowing this opinion to fester and grow, whether it's true or not, you're disenfranchising a LOT of people who aren't straight, white and/or male.

 

So in essence, Anch, is kind of right. You disenfranchise and discriminate against enough people you not only alienate them, but the people that care about them and so on. It becomes this super six degrees of separation political snowball effect. It ends up not mattering that conservatives have some amazing ideas on how to make this country better. All we see is "you're actively going out of your way proposing and pushing for policy that harms me or someone I care about" how are we supposed to reconcile this?
