In high school, I had friends that were beaten by their parents for coming out as gay. It seems like that’s gotten extremely rare in the past decade outside of creepy religious folks - I hope that eventually trans folk can come out as openly trans without facing retribution but we’re just not fucking there yet and it should be an individual’s choice as to when to do it anyways…
So uh, fuck conservatives. I guess that’s the point of my ramble. Fuck Conservatives.

My general thought is that conservatives just lack the ability to empathize to the same extent that liberals do - whether genetically or due to their upbringing, they just have “us vs. the other” deeply ingrained.
My favorite example of this was Dick Cheney, who had an oddly socially liberal stance on gay marriage… and, coincidentally, had a gay daughter.
I mean it’s the same with racist assholes end up having mixed grandchildren. Flips them completely From what I’ve seen
What do you think conservators are so terrified of college and education in general? Familiarity and experience breeds acceptance. When you get to know people of other backgrounds and other experiences another lifestyles you begin empathize with them. It’s as antithetical to conservatism as you can get. Conservatism only flourishes in the dark. Only in small ignorant closed off communities can conservatism grow. A lot like mold really.

Conservatives thinking about children seems to always lead to abuse of some kind

I think they have children on their minds too damn often. I have five kids, and I don’t think about kids as much as they do!
Normally my mood and vernacular would call for liberal use of the word “fucking”, but wherever I might naturally put it in that comment, it would be too on the fucking nose.
