      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?
