What is happening in this country that is making more conservatives?

[I Really Mean It]

How, is it because one effects you and the other doesn't.

I believe most of the country is generally fine with CRT. I don’t believe most of the country is fine with trans acceptance. That’s not to say they don’t believe transmen and transwomen don’t deserve to be treated as human beings snd accorded the same rights as cisgendered men and women. But, trans issues is a fairly new phenomena, insofar as its presence on the public stage.

Who in the U.S. within the last 10 years has been prosecuted for their thoughts?

legally prosecuted? probably none.

harassed, threatened, malicious attacks online which led to lost money/business/endorsements/livelihood? hundreds

Being a conservative is literally the easiest thing in the world. You’re opposed to any and all change, even if you don’t understand it. Hell, it must be bad if you can’t understand it. They even vote against things that will make their lives easier for some reason. It’s so strange. Appeal to tribalism and racism in all of its forms and you got yourself a base of voters

Like poor rural rednecks opposing Obamacare?

Exactly. They will vehemently vote against any healthcare reform because…the debt? Their tax returns?

It's because conservatives want to live in a society with social hierarchy, even if it means they hurt themselves

People are becoming conservative because cis-het males are afraid of living in a world where women, gay people, and trans people have the power to discriminate against them the way that they have discriminated against these groups historically. It is about a loss of perceived power that results in these men feeling emasculated. I knew as soon as Trump was elected what that was about. It was about cis-het men and the fear of emasculation. Its why so many men gravitated towards Trump. He symbolized their idea of what a man should be, and Trump sold this idea back to them. A slight to him was a slight to their own fragile masculinity. How sad and pathetic is that. Wow.

Women make up around 40% of the republican voting base, as high as 50 in certain individual states

I know your posts tend to be tongue in cheek, but this is not accurate

This why people are turning conservative.
Liberals don’t have any real argument other than to point at the extremist that don’t have any power.

How you can say they have no power when one of them was the President of the United States? Matt Gaetz? Marjorie Taylor Greene? Lauren Bobert? Mitch McConnell? Steve King? Devin Nunes?
These people have/had no power? They are (or were for the latter 2) in congress! Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis have no power? Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon had no power when they were Advisors to the President? What arguement do you have other than being scared of the tyranny boogeyman (or woman)?

You think the economy was good up until 2020?

I’m saying blaming the current economy on democrats and voting Republican because of that is wack because there was a pandemic that lasted basically 2 years which was out of cronteol because the conservative president that we had at the time decided to lie about the seriousness and downplay the pandemic while he was recorded saying the opposite of what he was telling the public

Most people are liberal, even the "conservatives" these days support letting gays live their life, healthcare, education, and are generally against racism.

What you have are political marketing agencies and russian propagandists spamming conservative and right wing content making a fringe minority of people look like they represent the majority. It's literally a loud minority of people that are getting radicalized by their screens.

Remember all the fake nigerian and african black trump supporter accounts that flooded the internet with their smiling selfies in maga hats? It was all to normalize the idea of black trump supporters and encourage more groupthink. Even on twitter I still get shyt tons of russian-owned "black empowerment" accounts trying to push their right wing bullshyt mixed in with psuedo black intellectualism. They just remix the talking points to target black people.

The people glued to their screens will always have the most distorted views of reality.

And now they're targeting the manosphere trying to make it seem 0.3% of the population (trannies) or "women" are coming to "destroy their way of life" with the "Gay/feminist agenda" and purposely using demoralization campaigns to push content to lonely men that will break their will , enrage them, program their worldview, and make them easier to radicalize. The shyt is coordinated and strategic and they're even doing it on this forum with the obvious male demoralization and black man demoralization threads posted everyday designed to break your will and make your more hopeless each day.

Hmm remember how white supremacists used the exact same talking points when they started letting black people have rights? Just swap black people for any other group.

The exact same typa shyt theyre pushing on white kids on four-chan, just remixed to influence black people.

People are becoming convservatives because Democratic talking points sounds crazy

Their points like:

"Raise the minimum wage."
"More affordable housing."
"Basic environmental regulations."
"Provide more funding for education."

Those points?

 

[EndDomination]

Society is leaning WAY too left. And people acting "shocked" about this is straight up laughable


Democratic presidents Pre 2000 (Clinton, Jimmy Carter, JFK) would all be considered Conservative in modern day

Clinton and JFK were conservative.

What about society is leaning to the Left here in the U.S.? Since we're still moving further right than Richard Nixon on the environment, climate change and labor rights? Further right than LBJ on civil rights, voting rights, and education access? Since we're further right than FDR and Theodore Roosevelt on mass infrastructure, jobs programs, and incarceration?

Do you have any idea what is actually going on in the world or are you so stuck listening to Fox News and right-wing podcasts that you think legalized gay marriage is somehow indicative of society leaning Left?

Nope....

Green new deal
Open borders....
Soft on crime.....
Pro nouns for everyone
Go get an abortion...
Teaching kids sex in school...

These are the things that actually bother people


And let's not forget the latest....forgiving 10k for bums when people historically that took out loans had to pay.....

You're a special one for sure.

Everyone has pronouns nikka. You would have learned that had you been able to keep up in 3rd grade English class.
Access to safe abortions has been a universally popular position for over half a century now, both here and worldwide.
Sex education has been as well, the fact that you call it "teaching kids sex in school" shows me that you are beyond delusional to the point of actual stupidity.
"Soft on crime" has never been a Democratic position - reducing incarceration for minor, nonviolent offenses, and reducing recidivism - which is what has happened with all scaled reforms, many of which have been bipartisan - is the reality.
Open borders just blatantly isn't a Democrat position. However, porous borders for immigrant labor was a popular conservative position in the mid to late 20th century and was something that existed with both Reagan and HW Bush.

And I honestly want to know what the fukk you think the Green New Deal is.

tea party came out when Obama got elected and was putting shyt into the air that he was muslim and wasn't born here, Obama being a biracial yet recognized as black President had white america fuming, because they felt like he was overlooking their needs (what those needs were idk and idc tbh.) Anyway fast forward to Trump vs Hilary and Trump ran on the MAGA platform and visited poor, downtrodden whites and basically promised to them that he democrats/liberals let a black man take control of the country and run it into the ground so to speak. So now everything the "left" does or brings to the table those same supporters of Trump are suspicious and hostile to it.

 

[Alvin]

Coli users keep trying to act like a lot of people aren't tired of liberal ideology.

[Alvin]

Like poor rural rednecks opposing Obamacare?
