How can you tell if someone is conservative?

Um, that covid poses minimal risks to children is simply a fact. It's actually democrats who are not following THE SCIENCE on this one. Actually, this unscientific screeching and hysteria are doing lasting damage to the general public's respect for THE SCIENCE. I have several prominent scientists in my family, and I care that "science" not be thrown under the bus for a self serving teachers union or whatever.

Dang, honey, you need some friends like you. I’m putting up a Youngkin sign just so my people can find me.

Good for you!! You are my people. And, yes, I need to transition my children to a setting where they won’t be bullied or harassed for my political leanings.

If we could just put you in an island so you didn’t ostracize gay children anymore.

What are you talking about. I'm the first poster and have a gay parent (who agrees with me, incidentally). Lots of different people find the mob-mentality of contemporary liberalism unacceptable.

Yeah…I am liberal. I don’t talk politics with acquaintances. I do with friends. And I do notice when someone is very quiet in a group conversation. Or I saw a friend on 1/7. She and her husband work in DC. But she didn’t mention a thing about the craziness. I believe both these people are republicans ok with Trump and social media activity has confirmed this.

That’s fine with me, our kids can be friends, and I will be friendly. But I will not be close friends or fully trust the judgment of anyone ok with Trump and his cronies. They will not be part of my inner circle. They view these policy differences as just differences in opinion, but it’s much bigger to me.

1. Is she a SAHM?
2. Does she belong to a church?
3. Does she do some type of charity work? Through church or other org?
4. Lack of attributes identifying her as being left leaning (pink/blue hair, hybrid vehichle, pronouns on LinkedIn, etc)?

This is kind of funny. I know women who would check yes to all of those points and they are democrats. I i’m also a Democrat and the only item of the above list that I cannot check as I am not a stay at home mom.
I belong to a church
I am active in some charities, especially a homeless shelter that is tied to my church
I am a church member
My hair is brown, I drive a van and my linkedin does not have my pronoun.

I don’t use tiktok
I don’t care about Hollywood (Oscars, Emmys, anything)
I’m not interested in the Royal Family
I don’t smoke weed
I’m more strict with my kids
I didn’t freak out when Kamala Harris became VP

Well damn I’m a liberal and I check all of your boxes?

I almost outed myself as a conservative the other day, walking my dog in my neighborhood. I passed a car with a bumper sticker that said “if your heart is in the right place, it’s on the left.” I’m pretty sure my eyeroll could be seen for miles, but luckily no one was around. It was a close call, but I think I’m still safe.

-- Large new SUV
-- Kids in private school
-- Go to church or temple every weekend

Of course many who fit the above profile may claim to be Liberal/Democrat/Progressive for social purposes, but they typically are DINOs at heart.

I like you. Absurd that we have to be in hiding. I thought this was America?

She's happy with her life, smiles a lot, genuinely cares about others and their well-being and seems at peace with herself and others.

Happy people are usually conservatives. There have actually been a lot of studies on this.

Sure, it's easy to be happy when you don't care at all about the plight of your fellow citizens, climate change, the weakening of our democratic system....

Studies show conservatives are more afraid of everything and easier to scare. I don't buy for a second they're happier.

Oh yes, "studies" show that. Please.

I can tell you for a fact that I and my conservative friends are far happier than people we know who do not share our values, particularly other women. For one thing, we're not angry with the world. As religious people, we know that we are not of this world and that perfection will never be found here, nor is it intended to be. It's not that we "don't care" about the plight of our fellow citizens - on the contrary, Republicans and religious/ conservative people give far more in time, money and other resources to help others. We just know that ultimately, God is in control. And that's a great thing.

I don’t even know where to start……

Of course you don't. You have no response to truth, even when it hits you in the face. This doesn't surprise me in the least. This is yet another reason that conservatives, in general, are much happier than progressives. We know truth, we stand on it, and don't get flustered and shocked when we encounter other people who are so lost they can't think their way out of a paper bag.

Yeah, you're the real victims, right? I'm sorry you're struggling under this oppression. Thoughts and prayers.

Another conservative here, and thank you for this. Just FYI, the term for "contemporary liberalism" is "leftist" or "progressive." Many normal Democrats (read: traditional liberals) run from these terms, because they are secretly horrified that this is what their party has become. Dennis Prager has great videos on this very topic and why it's important that we keep calling them out for what they really are: Leftists.

Oh so following the science is conservative now. I can never keep up.

Um, that covid poses minimal risks to children is simply a fact. It's actually democrats who are not following THE SCIENCE on this one. Actually, this unscientific screeching and hysteria are doing lasting damage to the general public's respect for THE SCIENCE. I have several prominent scientists in my family, and I care that "science" not be thrown under the bus for a self serving teachers union or whatever.

I know, right? Sure, I bring pedophiles into the school with me. But they leave 99.5% of the children unmolested. And *yet* these people only want to talk about the 0.5% of kids who do get molested. Hysterical.

Then you literally are not conservative which was my 1st post. Define conservative… can you.

Conservatives vote to deny LGBT people the same rights as non-LGBT people.

You vote against your own parents rights?

You are the one who is hysterical. And I don’t mean funny.
