  • This is obvious when you consider that “Conservatives” are more offended that trans people like myself might use a public restroom than the fact that ICE is running concentration camps and separating families from their children.

    I believe you not making a good faith statement there, and instead trying to straw man the perspective you disagree with because your emotional about this and stereotyping people is the easy way out of self reflection. Why the statement is more or less true, I think your heart posture is one of anger, rather than empathy. (I know that’s a very judgy statement, and it could be wrong.)

    Literal.

    Concentration.

    Camps.

    For children.

    Don’t talk to me about my heart, why isn’t yours bleeding? How dare you call yourself a Christian?

    My grandma (God rest her soul) was the sweetest little ol’ church lady you’d ever meet and she’d have whupped my ass in front of the whole congregation on Sunday morning if I expressed even a fraction of your callous disregard for your fellow man.








  • I look at conservatism as a concept that preserves the experiments that worked

    Basically conservatism = traditionalism in my mind.

    That’s a progressive perspective on conservatism, and expressing it as such places you further Left than most Democrats in office.

    America’s self-described “Conservatives” are mostly christian nationalists who don’t seek to conserve key American traditions like multiculturalism, but rather to impose their moral ideals on those who they see as “degenerates” in society and would gladly cut off their noses if it would spite the faces of those they see as “other”.

    This is obvious when you consider that “Conservatives” are more offended that trans people like myself might use a public restroom than the fact that ICE is running concentration camps and separating families from their children.

    Actually Conservative Christians are anti-Capitalists that care most about serving the needy and destitute and look down on the wealthy for their lack of charity. The self-proclaimed christians who voted a pedophile into office do not seek to conserve tradition, merely to preserve their own social status.
