If conservatives were capable of using logic, they wouldn’t be conservative
One group is transparently gaslighting themselves on a daily basis, on national channels that they own. We can safely say the R’s have an aversion to reality.
Five examples spanning decades? 👏
You’re absolutely right. We really should have more than 2 political parties.
Unless you were trying to make some other point.
You are purposely choosing to ignore the context in which the original statement was made, so that you can paint it as unfounded.
That's either pure intellectual dishonesty, or an exemplary demonstration of being incapable of logical thought, either of which seems to place you squarely in the demographic being targeted in this thread.
That's a distinction without a difference.
If you're looking to refute a point, then commit to it and argue properly. If you're trying to make a different point, then state it and provide your reasoning.
You did neither.
Can we at least get the wickerman?
It's possible to become extremely tired of RELENTLESS reality-defying bOtH SiDes nonsense.
This is a post about conservative hysteria over homosexuality. Not everything has to be about how liberals betray communists, and right now and in the past there aren't many communist regimes who give homosexual people freedom to love whoever they like, so this is one policy area where the liberals you hate so much got something right better than the authoritarians. So yeah, you can fuck off with your both sides crap on this issue.
You carefully avoided any mention of your actual politics, whilst telling me off for not knowing yours. I don't know how you think in supposed to know.
You have a funny way of showing it, and I'm no clown, thank you very much, I'm just pissed off that so many people BoTh SidEs stuff where there are real differences.
But if you don't hate liberals, there's even less need to dive in with your false equivalence between the two American parties over homosexuality, one of the few issues where they do differ substantially. If you have a brain, use it.
Apologies for not researching your whole post history, but I don't see how that's relevant anyway. If its no big deal, why the fuck are you spending so much time and effort defending it, arguing with people who pointed out your error?
If you were capable of logic you wouldn't be trying to argue you were right when it was pointed out to you that in this context, on this issue, you are wrong.
Also, libertarianism is really really really stupid, so there's that.
Libertarianism is really really really stupid because in the real world no one pays for high quality roads, light rail network etc, safety nets for folks too ill to work or recently sacked through "reorganisation" etc etc etc unless they're forced to. Privatised healthcare sucks for most people except the very wealthy, same for education. Libertarianism puts no governmental checks whatsoever on the power of corporations, it's basically the rule of the jungle where the wealthy get freedom and the poor get slavery back. What stops corporations poisoning you for profits? I'll give you a clue, it's not competition. If you don't regulate, people die. Just because American governments are crap, doesn't mean governments are unnecessary. Individual liberty is a great concept, yes, but if nobody forces children to share and be considerate, they never learn it. For example, Elon Musk, Donald Trump.
No true Scotsman allows public infrastructure to decay, corporations to trample people's lives, capitalism to run unchecked, "states rights" to overturn Roe v Wade.
Airway, back to the original point: conservatives are stupid because they think that seeing gay men kissing turns children and teenagers gay.
Thanks chatgpt.
That’s very clearly not what happened here
This must really bother you
Yes, the Democrats are also conservatives by global standards.
Not true! We've all heard of the communist part...
Oh they don't anymore do they?
It's very annoying to see "you're only in the other camp because you're a dumb-dumb" rolled out as the logic espoused by two failed and crumbling political institutions.
It's two sinking ships and the captains only know how to give the order "point at the other boat and scoff harder!"
No, it's one sinking ship. Two captains alternate command. One side cordons off the holes with a velvet rope, the other is drilling holes to collect on the insurance money.
They both have insurance policies out on the boat.
Uh, everyone tuck your pants into your socks
