[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably not a good place to have this discussion, but this article underscores something I've been thinking about quite a bit.

Conservatives are offering community in a way that progressives have not, and that's doubly true for people with young kids.

I've never been more vulnerable to conservative "marketing" as I was as a new mother.  [/quote]

It's hard to square this with the bigger picture on conservative values. I wonder how you'll view this when they begin deporting immigrants who have lived here and made a life here with their children for many years.  Or the fact that, because of their support for gun rights, your kids might get blown up in school, because individual gun rates are more important than broader societal stability and safety.   Is that community?

Also, is it community that girls who are raped or simply do not want to have a baby have to go to great lengths and risk prison to have an abortion?

But sure, if you are willing to stomach all of this and look the other way, then there's community to be found.[/quote]
