I mean, I’m sorry, but if they believe that abortion is baby murder, black people are predisposed to being criminals, poor people don’t deserve to have healthcare, and trans kids should have to live in a miserable hell that makes them want to commit suicide, I’m not going to just “not talk about it” and stay friends with them. If your morals are that fucked, I can’t in good conscience call you a friend.
I think that’s what mainstream US conservatism and its adherents think that’s what “conservative” means. And honestly, that’s pretty much been the undercurrent of US conservatism for over 20 years, they’re just now saying the quiet parts out loud.
Have you been living under a rock the past ~8 years? Those bullet points are central to the current GOP’s platform. That’s what you’re voting for when you vote republican.
it’s not in reference to a particular policy. that there is no anti-bomb option is my point. just because you vote for a person doesn’t mean their actions become your personal politics
There’s no anti-bomb option, but there are certainly pro women’s civil rights options and anti women’s civil rights options. Same goes for LGBTQ rights, minority rights, etc…

I have a couple of conservative friends. We just don’t talk about politics or the issues of the day. Surprisingly it’s not that hard.
No no no, don’t you see? You need to cutoff all communication with them and get them arrested and ruin their lives bro.

Do you think this is what “conservative” means, like completely honestly?

so I guess that means I’m pro bomb since I voted Biden 2020. damn. ill let the kids know
If this is in reference to Israel, every US president has been pro Israel since the creation of Israel. There is no anti-bomb option.
