Its not. There are real conservatives who vote democrat/independent and always have. Regressives are always wasteful and intrusive fanatics unlike a genuine conservative. They might not agree with someone but don’t waste their time trying to shove their worldview down someones throat. Just like a lot of people claiming to be woke also do. Both groups are intolerant and annoying.
Not really. All you hear on either side of this morass is the squawking fanatics. The fact you think real conservatives are rare is really sad. Its why the false ones need to be labeled regressives. By playing their game you alienate people who otherwise would be an ally.
I’d be much more inclined to believe you if quite literally every single conservative I know except for one person hadn’t gotten completely fucking unhinged over the past few years. So out of my admittedly anecdotal sample size of some tens of conservatives, it’s funny how none of them has managed to be a “real” conservative.
One self-described “moderate” went as far as to tell me that he thinks the world would be a better place if all of us LGBT+ folks just stopped existing.
Okay, I meet a lot of loud mouths as well. I also know that far too many don’t understand what it really means to be conservative. They always have the latest phone a huge vehicle that never gets used for the purpose its made for. They are quick to buy gimmicks and follow some new trend, like AI. All the while they moan about how corrupt the world is because someone doesn’t fit their worldview. Its just like far too many people have no idea what communism is or for that matter what socialism is or their relationships with democracy and capitalism. I’m not just talking about regressives. People don’t know what a real conservative is because all they get is simple unnuanced entertainment news opinions. Worse they rely on the others to tell them. Its why I never call a maga a conservative. Who cares what they call themselves. They are regressive and there is a difference. You meet actual conservatives all the time. You just don’t know it because they don’t spout tired rhetoric and most of all they respect others freedoms. Unlike fanatics on both sides of this morass. Make no mistake there is almost no difference between 90 percent of democrats and republicans. They all have their prejudices and their blind spots.
I’m on your level. People get really weird about milk despite the fact that the majority of people consume animal flesh on a daily basis. Milk is way low on the weird food scale.
The problem is that they give the cows growth hormone and high amounts of estrogen to encourage lactation and it’s in the milk. I’m lactose intolerant like half of adults anyway so I do almond milk and olive oil butter personally.
I don’t know where you live but I have never ever heard about giving estrogen to cows to force lactation. Just as a reminder, cows produce milk after they got a calf.
None of those chemicals are allowed to be present in the milk of cows lactating for human consumption. They test the milk for those chemicals at the dairy. If any trace amount is found, the whole tanker is dumped as contaminated.
That doesn’t make any sense. Estrogen wouldn’t even make a cow produce more milk. Are you confusing Estrogen with Prolactin? (which also isn’t given to cows, but would at least have the effect you describe)
It’s completely wild that people drink cow hormone juice and then think that soy is affecting their hormones.
Not people, conservatives
Not conservatives, regressives.
Literally the same thing

Your “true conservatives” are about as rare as fucking unicorns
Yeah but some centrist democrats obsessed with being open minded and “reaching across the aisle” like to promote them.
And I’m sure both of those “real” conservatives are very happy about that
It’s healthy to acknowledge the polarization in current US politics.
I endorse nothing beyond that statement.

Definitionally identical
So conservatives are not people, or I misinterpreted your comment?
That makes sense
It’s completely wild that… Husbandry exists? That we eat other animals? That we rot liquid food to drink it? That we use bacteria to curdle milk?
Hot bean juice!
I’m on your level. People get really weird about milk despite the fact that the majority of people consume animal flesh on a daily basis. Milk is way low on the weird food scale.
We’ve been eating animals a few million years longer than drinking their milk. (Lactose intolerance is far more common than generally thought.)
… If you’re asian lol.

Take another look at your map there, because it backs me up.
Here’s another, lactose Tolerance (notice Tolerance with a T) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance#/media/File:Lactose_tolerance_in_the_Old_World.svg It shows pretty much only Northern European heritage, iffy if you’re southern European, and pretty much everyone is out of luck.
… I’m aware. I linked the map lol.
You said if you’re Asian. It’s not only if you’re Asian.
… I’m aware… I linked the map lol.
Your comparison is stupid.
@idiomaddict talks about cow milk and soy milk, yet you go on a rant about how “cOw MiLk iS nOrMaL?!!”.
Yeah.
It’s not that wild lol
how the FUCK do you think babies grow
By drinking human hormone juice and getting their hormones messed with. It’s good and helpful for babies.
The problem is that they give the cows growth hormone and high amounts of estrogen to encourage lactation and it’s in the milk. I’m lactose intolerant like half of adults anyway so I do almond milk and olive oil butter personally.
