  • The point is to conflate the two and drown out leftist talking points with neoliberal ones.

    But, I am curious to see how the right will shift their attitudes toward guns now that “liberals” have them and are using them.

    Last time leftist Black Panthers started exercising their 2nd amendment rights, it was Ronald Reagan that passed gun regulation laws in California to specifically target their self-policing goals.

    Remember when Republicans were trying to make political party discrimination illegal, so you couldn’t criticize their fascism? Meanwhile, I anticipate this rise of leftist gun ownership to be met with authoritarian background checks specifically screening for “leftist, communist, woke, globalist, LGBTQ+” ideologies.

    You are misunderstood. The path to crawling out of their hole of conservative bigotry is simple: abandon conservative bigotry.

    It is they who want us to compromise our ethics and values. They want us to compromise on immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and helping the unhoused.

    You can’t be a conservative AND join leftists in organizing a better future, sorry. Conservatism is antithetical to progress.

    Keep in mind, the amount of conservatives that have shown any regret in the slightest is an extremely small percentage.

    The majority of them do not use social media outside of Facebook. They still get their news from Fox and Newsmaxx.

    We do not owe them anything. Conservatives who have a conscience need to abandon POLITICAL conservatism. If you want to be socially conservative, go right ahead and do that in the privacy of your own home. But, if you think you’re going to cross the aisle and try to organize with leftists while still holding politically conservative beliefs you wish to eventually see enforced for everyone, then yea, fuck off.

    It’s unproductive to try working with people who, for the past few decades, were actively voting to get rid of my friends and family because they didn’t fit White Heteronormative Christian Right America’s box.

    They put all of their faith into Trump. They literally believed God sent him to save America from the Democrats and liberals trying to “destroy” this country.

    I’m sorry, but I do not want to put my trust in the hands of racist bigots who can easily be lead astray by their own greed and prejudices.
