Conservatives should not be confused for rational, thinking people.
That's why they operate almost exclusively in editorials to the point that they think editorials are news.
Exactly, and FOX News self feeds on its own shit by cycling around in the morning with their live editorials saying this then they turn around and say some people are now saying X.
But this doesn't explain OP though.
Exactly. If someone tells me they vote R I immediately think of them having this level of logical thinking skills.
Well, you could either change your ways or get used to being tired, because when you're hateful scum, people treat you like you are.
How about you stop trying to regulate who I can sleep with and marry? How about you stop trying to interject your fake sky daddy into my medical care by denying me the right to an abortion, or gender affirming healthcare if I happen to be trans? Conservative women spout nothing but hate and intolerance; they are reaping what they sow.
This is pretty much the issue right here, she just can’t see it. The core of conservatism is virile hatred, autocratic thinking, and otherism. They think that people are being mean because they go to church and are mothers. Or at least that’s what she said.
And those things mean nothing when it comes to conservatism. Trump made sure of that. Nowadays conservatism is fascism. And hating fascists isn’t wrong. But these people erase that part of their ideology so they can pretend to just be mothers and churchgoers who just can’t catch a break!
this shit bag site blocks VPNs with a generic access issue message, btw
before people bother trying to give them clicks
Not all VPNs. Mine works just fine. Though it's a shit site regardless of its access policies.
Try swapping servers. Mine works.
From the "fuck your feelings" party.
Cry me a river, dirtbags. You don't get to support restricting the freedoms of people you don't like and get a free pass.
Progressives claim to value women...
Do they? I've never heard anyone say they value all women any more than I've heard anyone say that they value all men. Progressives, in my experience, value individuals based on their moral character rather than what genitals they have.
The whole whole article is whining about being mocked and provides nothing of value for why their views and conservatism do not deserve to be mocked. Nothing about what values they have that are laudable and popular with the masses.
Because conservate ideology is heavy on message and enpty of substance.
Zero tolerance for the intolerant. You want to be respected as a female conservative become a Democrat
Nah, intolerant dems can also pound sand. Intolerant people all around can fuck right off.
Right, zero tolerance for the intolerant.
Its not journalism its just facts karen 😂 Catholic too right? Cool story snowflake.
You can only conserve so many brain cells before it backfires.
You only have so many IQ points in your life and she's saving them up until the bitter end.
I think she has a lot of Idiot Quotient points.
Classic case of if you don't use it you lose it.
Oh come on. Is there a word for this like Uncle Tom? Aunt what?
Stand up for your sisters or be stomped.
And for the record - I am a mom & got to stay home with some of my kids for a couple of years, love some D/s in the bedroom. I don't disagree with the lifestyle. I very strongly disagree with forcing everyone to get on board. Fuck right off with that. You do you and give everyone else the same consideration. Leave my kids alone.
Mammy, Aunt Jemima, and Aunt Thomasina are versions I've heard, but those are specifically racial. I don't think I've ever heard a specific name linked to... Gender treason?

ok, but can we mock and hate you because you lie?
No no it's just a conservative part the fact that you're a woman has nothing to do with anything.
I hate conservative men and women equally. I’ll stop hating them when they stop being Nazis.
In mainstream media, women like me are portrayed through a singular lens: Our conservative beliefs. As such, we are easy to hate, mock and scorn.
Um, that's how people should be judged, dumbass.
JFC, this entire thing reads like something out of The Onion: "boo hoo, I contain multitudes, but I adhere to hateful bullshit, why don't people tolerate meeeeee? What happened to acceptance and inclusivity?"
She’s so close to understanding that if her actions result in her unhappiness, maybe she should change her own behavior. But it’s a conservative way of thinking to stop short and blame everyone but yourself, and then project and say that’s the problem with the rest of the world, no personal accountability.

This asshole is hiding behind her womanhood, using it as cover for her awful fascist worldview. Sorry, you being a conservative woman isnt the problem. You being a fascist is, and it justifies all of the scorn, ridicule, and social isolation.
This article is just another retread of the tired right wing cannard that claims intellectualism and critical thinkers must necessarily accept bigoted and authoritarian ideologies. The fear of this criticism is what fuels the weak, captulating nature of current Democratic leadership.
No, being open minded doesn’t require one to treat all ideas equally.
Who knew that supporting fascism and circling wagons around a pedophile would have negative consequences in a society that generally frowns upon fascism and pedophilia.
"As a conservative woman living in Texas, I often feel like I'm living a dual reality. I'm a mom and a writer, but that's not all. I go to church, laugh with friends and wave at my neighbors while we are walking our dogs.
Not the Mexicans though, because they shouldn't be allowed to be here. Or the gays down the street trying to adopt a child, because that's an abomination. Also, poor children shouldn't be allowed to eat food, climate change is a hoax, and if you disagree with anything I say I'm going to call you woke and unamerican. Why aren't people nice to me?"
Oh no, they're being judged by the content of their character instead of ~~the color of their skin~~ their genitals.
