[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole world is socially conservative, you racist dipshit, including the United States. You still haven’t figured out that the reason why the Republicans are so successful at “culture wars” is because most people agree with them?

I’m a Democrat for reasons other than social issues, but if I was voting on the definition of “woman,” trans ideology in schools, the kind of family structure that is ideal, and other social issues, then I would be Republican.[/quote]

I'm not really sure how republicans are successful in culture wars given the social spectrum in our country has consistently moved left since our founding.  republicans have lost most culture wars and will probably continue to do so.  they've been successful at rolling back abortion rights - but that's because of the courts...not because the American public supports it.

The "whole world" isn't socially conservative at all - the prosperous and democratic west isn't.  Right wingers ended up perennially fighting a losing battle post-WWII when education levels in the west started to curb upwards...the secularism that predictably started to increase as people became more educated just fuelled it. High levels of educational attainment (and the attendant increase in secularism) are obviously inconsistent with social conservatism.  A big reason why right wingers want to keep people dumb and uber religious.

as far as things like the "definition of women" and "trans ideology" - these are not issues that occupy the minds of most working Americans.  They're mainly the obsession of the Very Online and Cable News Addicted. [/quote]
