Hi, all.
As should be news to no one, polarization and animosity between conservatives and liberals is at one of its all-time highs in America right now. There’s even talk of a second civil war looming. Obviously, there are strong passions and convictions on both sides, and people on both sides have claimed that the other is a grave threat to the integrity of the nation itself. I’m familiar with the views and concerns of my own side: we view Donald Trump’s (and his allies’ and supporters’) statements and actions as being an attack on the democratic process that defines our nation, and are worried that the strategies and tactics he and they are employing will make future elections farcical, paving the way for an authoritarian state (a dictatorship). I am less familiar with why conservatives feel Democrats and liberals are a threat to the nation and its integrity in similar fashion. My best guess is that conservatives buy Trump’s assertions that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, and thus might have similar fears as liberals do, but I also get the sense conservatives have deeper, older concerns than this, and that Trump was/is viewed as a solution to them.
Can you please try to articulate here what those fears are? And, to any liberals reading this, please refrain from answering in conservatives’ stead. I’m interested in their opinions, not your opinions of their opinions.

Dude, don’t be a dick.
I mean, he could have used lighter words but the contents of the reply couldn’t have really changed. Conservatives at this point, maga conservatives expecially, are well beyond reason. I can’t see how can they be recovered from the pit of hate and despair they dug themselves in since they are the ones defending their “right” to be left in the ignorance hole they so much love and enjoy.
Personally I am not for eugenetic politics but, should I ever have a daughter to take care of, one of the lessons I’ll make sure to pass her will be to avoid as much as possible to mingle with someone having any right-leaning believes. They need to stop reproducing
At least us right leaning people know what a woman is without needing a biology degree…
Oh yeah?
Then tell me and school me, what is a woman?
I’m all ears
An adult human female
And what is a female?
The sex that produces ova or bears young
Shouldn’t you have learned these definitions already?
So all the women unable to bear children are not women in your world.

Still waiting for your definition of woman. To be such a clear concept to you you are taking your sweet time providing me with a simple description of a woman.
Are you scared to write one down? Well, I get it, must be hard realizing life is much more complex than what your cult leaders are selling you…
Though luck, I hope to find a more prepared right-winger for my next discussion
Taking 4 days so far to come up with that definition.
“Im a right wing fascist because of my gender ideology”
I just don’t bother with trolls that fail to realize how stupid they look to the rest of the world. A woman is an adult FEMALE person. It’s quite simple really. Also, not everyone thinks lemmy is the most important thing in the world, some of us only login once or twice a week. You should go touch grass or find a hobby. You are way too obsessed for your own good.
alrighty then
I know. I’m a troll for stating all the obvious facts instead of just agreeing with the little talking heads. You should go get vaxed some more.
I hope you feel better in the future. I understand the world is a scary place to you
So you think this person is a woman?

They don’t look like a woman to me. You can’t honestly tell me that a straight man would find this person sexually attractive. Seems to me that it is the conservatives that are confused.
Nah, I deal with the idiots too much to have patience anymore. Find someone else to cry to.
