Current Events > The conservative mindset makes a lot more sense when you understand one thing

(+) Yeah! (+)

The whole concept of political beliefs is based on how you think the world should be.

The whole concept of political beliefs is based on how you think the world should be. Democrats are no different in that regard. They just feel that minorities should be allowed to exist and women shouldn't be treated like property. That type of thing.

That's one hell of a reach.

Great read, though. Please tell me more about what you guys believe conservatives think or do things at a puddle-deep level and from an outside-looking-in perspective.

I could use more laughing material.

But you guys are not really focused on the economy here

Actually it's good for a political party to instill a belief that the world is changeable, rather than an immutable status quo.

Republicans have no ideology. Their "idiology" comes down to "owning libs."

They aren't the party of fiscal responsibility, because electing business moguls the write policies to bail out their business partner friends and firebombing the budget cutting taxes for the wealthy isn't fiscally responsible.

They aren't the party of traditional family values, because imagine the outcry if Hillary Clinton had five children by three different men, and paid off a porn star.

It's not the party of anti-abortion, as evidenced by people like Herachel Walker and Lauren Boebert.

It's not the party of small government, because they want the government controlling everything from school curriculums to marriage licenses.

It's not the party of a strong foreign policy, because their strategy is to cost us long standing allies and kiss ass to places like Russia who hate us.

It's not the party of law and order, because it's members are free to break the law every time the government mildly annoys them.

It's not the party of anti-socialism, because it stands for dumping obscene amounts of taxpayer money into socialist programs like the military.

It's not the pro-business party, because it's rapidly ensuring regular people no longer have enough money to support most businesses.

It's not the party of the working class, because it almost exclusively funnels more money to executives and shareholders.

There IS no ideology. The closest they have is "everything the libs do is wrong. And we'll come up with progressively more absurd conspiracies as to why they're wrong if it becomes clear they're not."

More specifically, they want to "turn back time". They want a simpler time. A time where there weren't the worries we have now.

A time that never actually existed.

And here I thought Mods had to be unbiased...lol

A time when the entire neighborhood was middle class white people and the "others" knew this neighborhood was for them.

A time when gay people stayed in the closet, where they belong.

A time when a woman should be ashamed of herself for being single past the age of 27.

A time when the world was run by men, and women "knew their place".

The fuck gave you that idea?
What a dumb post.

I think that's more fear, most conservatives that I know just want the government to not have as much influence on their daily lives, which I can agree with. However, there does exist the far-right conservatives that are against lgbt rights, and those people can eat a dick..lol

Is it though? What's to stop a mod from closing posts that don't fit their ideology?

the Conservative mindset is based around one thing: selfishness.

Nobody is getting modded for simply having different views.
