    Conservatives equate all of LGBTQ+ with pedophiles though. That’s why they use the phrase “grooming children” to describe talking about anything even remotely related to it, including the mere existence of it.

        Anyone that wants to continue forcing harmful laws on human beings that are unlike themselves.

          Wouldn’t the reps and dems fall under that categorization as well, though? I’m not even being facetious. I’m genuinely wondering how we use the word now.

              Sure. But it’s not a belief. User jtk said that conservative people are “Anyone that wants to continue forcing harmful laws on human beings that are unlike themselves.” Both of the parties I mentioned consistently do that, so I made an inference. Maybe the other parties in the USA will do that, too, but they haven’t been given an opportunity to degrade themselves in this manner. By the way, you lot keep downvoting, but I’m legitimately trying to understand. I’m not challenging your beliefs, nor do I take offense to them (though it won’t matter if I did take offense, as that won’t stop me from respecting your beliefs and fighting so that you can keep having them). While I know many who claim to be conservative, none of them fall under the categorization that user jtk defined, so I’m confused as to what being conservative means. By the way, I do not consider myself conservative. Or, at least, I don’t think I am. Again, I honestly don’t understand what that means, but by user jtk’s definition, I definitely am not. (also I’m not dem or rep). I tried googling it, but there were pages and pages of conflicting information, which left me more confused than before.

                Which harmful laws are voting dems attempting to preserve? There are quite a few bad things the voters are attempting to get politicians to act on, e.g. incarceration rates, drugs, police reform, health reform, gun policy, etc. but they keep getting no action because the competing party is loudly fighting hard for the opposite of all those things and all the dems have to do is say “at least we won’t make those problems 1000 times worse.”

                  From how I see that country regressing, it’s been one crap law after another. One side is actively trying to strip minority rights, the other is actively trying to strip the middle and lower class rights, sometimes they switch sides. All guised, of course, as protecting the children or protecting women or protecting trans or protecting the minority or protecting the small business owner, but, in reality, they’re actively stripping rights away and people seem to not care. So, again, I am confused by your definition of conservative, when every party has done this same thing (“Anyone that wants to continue forcing harmful laws on human beings that are unlike themselves”). Or, are you saying the USA government is conservative, and you’re gathering your definition of the term based on the USA government? Sorry if I am offending. I’m genuinely interested in learning this and I don’t mean to be offensive.

                    One side is actively trying to strip minority rights, both are trying to strip the middle and lower class rights, but the voters on only one side are attempting to get through to their politicians to fix that. But again, they can’t because they have a huge pile of “your worst nightmares” to point a finger at.

                    Which harmful laws are in place under the guise of protecting women, protecting trans, protecting the minority? I’m talking physically threatening laws that individuals need to fear just for existing. Ill placed “equality” laws that never do what they’re intended to do are a problem, but not dreadfully dangerous.

        But the cons at the forefront do. If your one of the ones that doesn’t, consider strongly how the conservative mindset leads so many to that conclusion and/or why they vote republican to further that agenda.

        Not every con is a child raping traitor, but every con is okay with child raping traitors. Cons love child rape and treason. The Republican party is the child rape and treason party. The conservative movement is the child rape and treason movement. Quite literally every conservative without exception.

        Yes, all conservatives support pedophilia or at least don’t mind it enough that they keep voting for pedophiles like Matt Gaetz.
