The news. History. Everything they do. Gay bashing, attacks on religious minorities, racial violence, pretty much every law they push for or pass.
Conservatism is nothing but an endless rampage of cruelty and hatred directed at the majority of humanity.
Of course; it’s like walking around wearing a swastika or KKK hood. It’s an announcement of bigotry and hatred, and responded to as such; and it’s usually worn to get exactly that reaction. It’s a implicit declaration of war against humanity.
Der_Trihs:
Trump voters live in their own media/ideological bubble. It doesn’t matter whether or not other people show them “contempt”, they’ll only hear about how the evil liberals hate them and are all child molesting devil worshipers.
And in reality the problem for decades now is that conservatives have been coddled and treated with constant deference, not with “contempt”. They didn’t vote for Trump because their feelings were hurt, they voted for Trump because they are bigots who hate most of humanity and want to punish the rest of us for existing no matter the cost to themselves.
Der Trihs , a reminder that this thread is supposed to be anecdotes about being a member of Group X surrounded by people of Group Y. Your purpose in this thread seems to be to talk about how terrible you think a certain group is. You are in the wrong thread for that, and it’s only serving as a hijack. Take it elsewhere.
