TIL all conservatives refuse to move forward.

Conservatives for gay marriage due to the Constitution are fakenews. Conservatives for ending the drug war are fakenews. Conservatives who want to let lgbtq crowds live their lives and focus on more important issues are fakenews. Conservatives for logical gun control are fakenews. Conservatives who aren't interested in abortion bans that also want to fund programs that reduce abortions and improve women's health like free bc are fake news.

I could go on all day but why waste time refuting such a dumb fucking post?


You guys have progressive conservatives ? lol

Conservatism is a foreign concept in my country. It starts sounding more awkward every day .

We have a 2 party system, not a 2 party populace.

It is, and it always was.

Conservatism is objectively bad. If you refuse to move forward because you think that today's situation is the best it can get, you are destined to move backwards.


Accepting that vaccines cause autism is part of moving forward depending on who you talk to

The nation is too politically split to really say that conservatism is counter-culture everywhere. It certainly is in California, but there are also a lot of liberal things that would still qualify as "counter-culture". A lot of people do lip service to liberalism and progressive state of mind, but there are still a lot of issues that go on that, while talked about by "progressive men" on Facebook, aren't acted on in person.

In other places, however, conservatism is still the norm and as such would not be counter-culture. One of the beautiful things about America is how diverse we are as a nation. Part of that is because we're so fucking large, so it's tough to put statements like this out there and have them be unequivocally true.

I got banned from some/r/Bernie spots. They don't really agree with facts and being told they shouldn't be living in their parent's basement at age 25+

I think culture is generally set by the new generation. Being a vocal conservative in academia, media, entertainment, or even sports is going against the grain.


If culture is changed by the new generation then the new generation is the counter culture...

Objectively speaking, American 'liberals' are not really liberal and American 'conservatives' are not really conservative.


True
