Conservatives are wrong about nearly everything, and should be treated accordingly.
They are wrong about EVERYTHING. Not just “nearly everything”.

Because Trump somehow allowed them to constantly express their worst personality traits and celebrated them for it. Now if someone is a Trump supporter they are loudly and proudly misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemetic, and a whole host of other bigoted. And sane people who have compassion for others don’t want to deal with that shit.
Back in the day people used to hide this part of themselves because they were rightfully shamed for it. Now they get elected to congress for being socially gross.
Back in the day everyone was phobic. I remember fag being the most popular invective. Comedians were so cringe. I remember my mom joking and laughing about blacks on England national soccer team and throwing Jews jokes left and right.
People haggling on the street throwing racial slurs at each other.
I don’t know maybe I just don’t get out much nowadays. I may live in a shelter like fallout vault. People are more cultured though. So maybe that’s why many don’t like conservatives as a whole as opposed to then when it was the default
If your go-to argument is to evoke an emotional response, I can’t trust you to have a discussion in good faith.

Well, now that you mention it…
It’s a common tactic of narcissists to elicit empathy
If your* go-to argument
Voice typing. Fixed!
Realistically, the “hush” should be “you’re disowned”
You’d be fuckin surprised actually, some of these people will support their own family while condemning others for doing the same thing. Dick Cheney has a daughter who he is supposedly very close to who is publicly lesbian, married to a woman and he himself supported their marriage and attended. He then turns around and supports banning gay marriage. I may be under informed on this situation but it’s baffling to me.
It becomes less baffling when you realize they are of the mindset that the ones making the laws are inherently different and the laws don’t apply. That they’re making those laws “for their own good”(meaning the people not lawmakers).
It’s confusing, and essentially cognitive dissonance, but it’s definitely there.
“Conservatism consists of one policy, to wit: There are those that the law protects but does not bind, and those that the law binds but does not protect.”
No no, I find this completely believable. It’s like lacking a consistent moral system is a requirement for being conservative.
It does rather depend on whether politicians are there to enact whatever they want, or to enact the will of the people, and what they should do where those two don’t align. You probably wouldn’t consider it immoral for someone who doesn’t drive to vote one way or another on a roadbuilding project, or for someone without kids to vote on a school project.
So I don’t see why it should be a problem for a politician who privately supports a particular topic but represents people who don’t, to vote against it; it means they’re doing what they were elected to do and not acting solely in their own interests.
That’s all well and good but this is talking about gay marriage which is a topic with completely different context and importance than building roads or schools
go figure a lot of them depend on religion to tell them what’s moral and not
The worst part is that they really do feel this way. They really do feel that our very presence hurts them somehow. So despite all the excitement saying otherwise, they project that feeling of offended-ness onto everyone else and say they just want to protect people.
To give you some idea just how long this has been going on…
same with “fighting terrorism” or “spreading democracy”
sometimeseven democrats fall for these.When I spread democracy, I do it for Super Earth!
“sometimes” = all the time
fixed it
Sometimes?
I really don’t want to come off the wrong way saying this, but I don’t think this comic works the way we want it to. Republicans fucking love the slippery slope fallacy. When they read this they are like “Exactly! It keeps getting worse!”
That is true. It is hard to reason with them.
Is anybody else bothered by the fact that the '00s are missing on this? It establishes a pattern of every 2 decades, with '60s and '80s, then skips the '00s, before giving us the '20s.
We don’t need the '00s they were fired. Think of the children!
The noughties were too naughty.
The 00’s panel would be identical to the 80’s panel, so they cut it for brevity sake.
I was thinking it’d be the “a-rabs”.
