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.

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?

When where and how have LGBT people been denied rights in the last 4 years?

😂

That’s right. Feel the peace and joy radiating from the contented conservatives.







So beautiful, so full of life and love.

Don't forget happier, they are happier than liberals dammit!

+1

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

can you post links?

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.

That you even consider this to be a comparable analogy merely confirms that "leftists" are incapable of critical thinking.

At work;
They refused the vaccine until it was mandatory
They equated mandatory vaccines to some pretty evil stuff like the Holocaust---they see themselves as oppressed
They poo poo Covid but ironically are **always** dodging Covid assignments.
Many are married to cops/rah rah Blue Lives Matter

I have been reading this with great interest.
I can’t find my place really.
I am an immigrant
I am not religious, I am pro choice and believe in Darwinism
However I roll my eyes about covid paranoia, the 🏳️‍🌈 craze and other ideas I consider extremely leftist. Homeless must be involuntary confined and treated, illegal immigrants are breaking the law, etc.
not that I need to blend in (I mostly hang out with my small group of friends) but just wanted to know if people are making assumptions even though I don’t talk about any of this.

Are you unaware of the transgender military ban.

DOL rules made it legal to fire gay people if you site a religious exemption to the civil rights act.

Section 1557 of affordable care act changed.

Removing HIV + people from the military

Changing 4-H rules welcoming lgbt children

To name a few

I am conservative and I have never said or done anything to imply that I am progressive, in fact I make a point to stay neutral and change the subject because I don't discuss these things outside my family. So I was curious if there were ways people broadcast their affiliation. I will admit that I am lax with my kids about Covid but the other markers you have stated do not apply to me. Thanks and sorry if I offended anyone.

I am conservative but am also mistaken for a liberal. I don't discuss politics or controversial topics like abortion. If people bring it up or ask me, i tell them that I don't affiliate with any particular party. I mask up and am fully vaccinated. I respect what people have to say even if I don't agree. I guess I don't speak out openly about how I feel about things, I just don't feel passionate enough to argue with people. I have my views, but I also see where other people are coming from. I also enjoy hearing what other people have to say and why they believe certain things.

Hunt them down and expose them! Out them. Doxx them.

My very conservative sister complains about this. She keeps saying she wants to move somewhere where her neighbors won’t assume she’s a liberal. The problem is that I don’t think she actually wants to live anywhere where all her neighbors are conservative. She just thinks she does.

Can we switch the topic to "why conservatives are such huge drama queens who are convinced they're they're martyrs?" They are so over the top. Like this post. See also: a million tiktok videos of crying Christians talking about how they'll diiiiiiiiiiiiie before they yield to the jackbooted vaccinators. They're JUST LIKE Joan of Arc.

Mandatory thorazine does seem tempting, although a waste of syringes that could be used for life-saving vaccines.

Yes on the Herman Cain awards subreddit there are so many who post memes of police with K9s dragging away kids because the parent has no vaccine card or other dramatic declarations of discrimination. I have NEVER been asked to show my vaccine card.

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.

I am a moderate that tends to vote Democrat because the republican party is a clown show, but I would also roll my eyes hard at this. So cringey

[Anonymous]

I'm gay, graduate of elite colleges, live in a very liberal area, and I pretty much vote the straight Republican ticket. I don't do it with pleasure but because the Democrats and progressive left are even crazier these days.

Shrugs. We do exist. And no, you can't tell. But go ahead and believe the wacko stereotypes and cherrypicked pics if it makes you sleep better in your falsified sense of superiority.

This entire thread is liberal propaganda. Republican here. Not conservative. Lots of us are Republican and not actually conservative. But the bold generalizations here are so insane and I guess somehow make you feel like you are in the super majority. But you aren't because that isn't the Republican party.

No one in my whole family of many generations of republicans fits the descriptions you list. In my family we are Episcopalian and Presbyterian and Jewish. My great grandmother was the child of a plantation owner and slave.
We are immigrants (recent and some not recent). We are all college degree or higher. NONE of us have guns. All of us are vaccinated or will be when we are eligible. We pay our taxes and recycle. We volunteer and we donate. We have solar panels and we drive hybrids.

We don't want to pay for other people's kids to go to school because we have all paid for ourselves or are saving to do it. We don't believe that welfare is good for people but we do believe it should only be provided when necessary, and it shouldn't be necessary forever for people who are not disabled. We believe in legal and safe abortion but not after 4 or so months. At that point, science can probably safe that child if it is born premature so it should be protected under the constitution.

We believe that with all its faults and problems, the United States is still the best country in the world with the most opportunity, the most freedom, and the most stable form of government. And yeah, we put out our flags.

My family has military but not a single cop in it but I still think most cops are on the right side of justice most of the time.

I think gay people should be able to marry, divorce, adopt etc. But I don't think people get to pick their gender. A lady can have her boobs removed and take steroids but she will never get testicular cancer and she might get ovarian cancer so as far as I can tell, biology has decided she is a girl. But I don't care if she wants to dress like he. Not my business or my bedroom.

You probably assume people like us are Democrats and that is why you cannot fathom that the election was so close.
