[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I wouldn’t say they’ve changed but your perception of them has be likely changed as [b]popular culture has evolved to the point that they seem even more retrograde than they always were.[/b]

My conservative family was always mean. I thought it was normal until I moved away to a city, grew up, and was exposed to nicer people.[/quote]

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the intellectual bankruptcy underpinning their policy preferences has been repeatedly exposed. And, as a result, it's harder and harder for conservatives to hide their bigotry behind intellectual windowdressing. In decades past, conservatives have been able to dress up their bigotry as "state's rights," "fiscal conservatism," "small government," "local control," etc, etc, when their [i]real[/i] sentiment is "f*** anybody who doesn't look like me, and [b]especially[/b] f*** [i]poor[/i] people who don't look like me."[/quote]

The mirror image on the left is, naturally, f*** anyone who does THINK like me and especially f*** poor people who don’t think like me
