MODERATORS
Not conservatives, regressives.
Literally the same thing
Its not. There are real conservatives who vote democrat/independent and always have. Regressives are always wasteful and intrusive fanatics unlike a genuine conservative. They might not agree with someone but don't waste their time trying to shove their worldview down someones throat. Just like a lot of people claiming to be woke also do. Both groups are intolerant and annoying.
Your "true conservatives" are about as rare as fucking unicorns
Yeah but some centrist democrats obsessed with being open minded and "reaching across the aisle" like to promote them.
And I'm sure both of those "real" conservatives are very happy about that
It's healthy to acknowledge the polarization in current US politics.
I endorse nothing beyond that statement.
Not really. All you hear on either side of this morass is the squawking fanatics. The fact you think real conservatives are rare is really sad. Its why the false ones need to be labeled regressives. By playing their game you alienate people who otherwise would be an ally.
I'd be much more inclined to believe you if quite literally every single conservative I know except for one person hadn't gotten completely fucking unhinged over the past few years. So out of my admittedly anecdotal sample size of some tens of conservatives, it's funny how none of them has managed to be a "real" conservative.
One self-described "moderate" went as far as to tell me that he thinks the world would be a better place if all of us LGBT+ folks just stopped existing.
Okay, I meet a lot of loud mouths as well. I also know that far too many don't understand what it really means to be conservative. They always have the latest phone a huge vehicle that never gets used for the purpose its made for. They are quick to buy gimmicks and follow some new trend, like AI. All the while they moan about how corrupt the world is because someone doesn't fit their worldview. Its just like far too many people have no idea what communism is or for that matter what socialism is or their relationships with democracy and capitalism. I'm not just talking about regressives. People don't know what a real conservative is because all they get is simple unnuanced entertainment news opinions. Worse they rely on the others to tell them. Its why I never call a maga a conservative. Who cares what they call themselves. They are regressive and there is a difference. You meet actual conservatives all the time. You just don't know it because they don't spout tired rhetoric and most of all they respect others freedoms. Unlike fanatics on both sides of this morass. Make no mistake there is almost no difference between 90 percent of democrats and republicans. They all have their prejudices and their blind spots.
I have news for you, they have taken the conservative name and the "real conservatives" you know are now labeled RINO at best.
