Being conservative learning doesn't mean you want to oppress people. It means you want less government regulation.
Depends on the specific person. I totally agree that discrimination of minorities shouldn't be allowed. You can be conservative without being racist.
But being racist isn't an automatic loss of a vote for most conservatives. Sure - You can be conservative and not racist, but if you are voting for conservatives who are racist... What is the difference?
What exactly is the GOP doing that is racist? Isn't racism explicitly unconstitutional? If a candidate was racist, I wouldn't vote for them.
But I haven't seen explanations for what they do that is racist. It's just people who are calling them racist, and saying you're dumb if you don't think they're racist.
Look up why republican redistricting maps in red states keep getting shot down and sued.
Gerrymandering is an effective way to get more votes. Any political party would try to do it.
Really, what we need is a system where gerrymandering is impossible.
I doubt you actually looked up what I'm talking about. Yes, both parties gerrymander, which I agree is an issue. But republican states keep getting sued due to unconstitutionally drawn maps that try to silence the black vote as much as possible
I hate to tell you this but that is the definition from like 30 years ago. If you look at their behavior now, they do the exact opposite (see basically any policy they've passed in the last 2 years)
The news will only show what makes you the most angry. Here is an unbiased list of republican bills that were passed. Just because you see the extremes of a group more, doesn't mean that everyone in that group is extreme.
It's not the numerous postal service designations that people are pissed at though. It's the bills that are making my friends flee the state that people are rightly pissed at. Not every republican is an extremist, but the extremists have control over the party and the rest of the party seems completely fine with them at the wheel. Either it's extreme apathy or tacit agreement.
except for of women's bodies, more of that please
