    Neoliberals are conservatives. That’s how we ended up here.

    Conservatism is fascism and it has infested both parties. Allowing conservatives to continue existing among us will always lead to fascism.

    Our push to the left must be merciless and unending. Normally, peace cannot cure fascism. We must accept that violence may be necessary to survive this.

      Yup. When is the last time we saw dem leadership organize the party effectively, or release meaningful pushback to culture war rhetoric? It’s nada all the time with these clowns. Fucking Schumer and Jeffries apply all their efforts to serving billionaires and are happy to be unpopular as long as they get to lead the losing party. I’m sick to death of hearing how brilliantly Pelosi handled Republicans during her tenure— she literally fucking led us right to where we are now. Fuck anyone who serves billionaire interests.

            The normal people disagree with your defense of conservatism. Conservatives are pure evil and should be dealt with as such. Your insults only add to my motivation to erase them.

                Funny you would suggest that specific activity. I have donated my time at food pantries. Many, many times. One thing I’ve noticed there is a distinct lack of conservative volunteers.

                Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy for others. This is why conservatives are almost never found giving their time to the vulnerable unless there is something in it for themselves (ex: church cred, entry to heaven, free food).

                Conservatives’ inability to experience empathy is also why their relationships are so shallow. For example, a conservative male sees his family as his property. He loves his wife the way a teenager loves a sportscar. He cannot develop a deep personal affection for his wife because that requires empathy.

                A conservative’s lack of ability to experience empathy is also why bigotry comes so easily to conservatives. It’s why genocide is so easily supported by conservatives. It’s why conservative policy so consistently harms the vulnerable.

                If you are not a conservative, you really shouldn’t defend them. They will never humanize you. Never. They don’t even humanize each other. They simply can’t.

                    I disagree. The left should not keep our thoughts to ourselves.

                    Turning the other cheek over and over again is how we ended up with conservatives building concentration camps in the U.S. The time for us to speak loudly and be heard is right now.

                    I notice your weak defense of conservatives lacks examples or evidence to support your claims that conservatives can experience empathy.

                    Perhaps you can tell me what I should say to conservatives in my debates when they tell me “empathy is fake”. That’s a fairly common defense from conservatives against my position that they cannot experience empathy. Should I tell them they are wrong and they can experience it?! 🤣
