Poll of the Day > Why do Conservatives that get cornered and have no way to dedend their point...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tell people to go to one of the other countries or go back to the person's origin country?

Like come on man, when you see something broken, you fix it, not just uproot yourself and go somewhere else. Should Rosa Parks just have gone back to Africa, where her ancestors were kidnapped from instead of refusing to give her seat? Should Dr. Martin Luther King have done the same? Why can't they just accept defeat instead of pulling some bullshit statement?

You answered your own question. It's because they're cornered and have no way to defend their point. Liberals call everyone "alt right" for the same reason.

Why not just admit defeat like a normal person?

Probably due to disparities in what people define as broken. Also disparities in where the problem is in something that is actually broken.

The debate on police shooting blacks is a prime example. Liberals tend to think that the police are racist and are shooting blacks for no reason or that they could put more effort into non-lethal means of getting people to be compliant, even if it means increased risk for the officer. Conservatives tend to think that blacks get shot because there are numerous statistics indicating they are much more likely on an individual basis to do things like shoot at police and that black culture glorifies exactly that. They also tend to think that an officer shouldn't have to unreasonably risk catching a bullet to the face just to rein in some criminal.

Why can't they just accept defeat instead of pulling some bullshit statement?

The same can easily be said of liberals though. Their go-to phrasing though is usually calling someone racist or heartless or sociopathic instead.

Why do liberals call people bigots when they don't get their way?

Politics is a waste of time to discuss amongst peers, move on, vote and be quiet about who you vote for.

Ostracization those who can't adapt is part of every culture. You don't just let a pair of scissors loose on the fabric of society and blame the knitting.

Because that's not a normal person at all, unfortunately. The average person would rather find any way to twist the truth to fit their needs than admit that their actions or beliefs are in the wrong. That doesn't apply to just politics either; how often do you see someone on the internet admit they were wrong, even in clear cut cases?
