i try my best to understand but i truly cannot. i understand how they probably see leftists the same way we see them, and i know that political belief is often shared in families, but it's just it's incredibly difficult to see how they believe anything they stand for is morally correct.

Because change is good? Neurodivergence is only just now starting to be normalized (and there’s still a longggggggg way to go), if the world sticks with “traditional values” forever then nothing ever gets better

Anonymous #5 2w

Also what exactly do you mean by traditional values? Because if it’s traditional gender roles, nuclear families, and state-mandated religion? That’s just thinly veiled inequality and discrimination, and yes, that is disturbing

No, there’s some reason you’re conservative. What are you conservative about, human rights? Being proud to be a conservative sometimes is a dogwhistle.

No, that’s exactly my point. Just because there are only two options doesn’t mean that they’re equivalent. So it’s not as trivial as “picking the opposite party”, it’s specifically an evaluation of the Republican Party as being in opposition to the best interests of neurodivergent people.

idk who’s argument this helps, but I feel like there’s a reason George Washington said we shouldn’t have only 2 parties.

I agree, it would be much better for America to have a variety of political parties.

mm well if you agree then I said something wrong. Conservative/traditional values are wrong. Sorry to say. The 1% doesn’t need to be .001%.

Quick question, how do you feel about gay and trans people?

Anonymous #6 2w

I think I know the answer lol

Yeah, I don’t know why they come in here and pretend it’s a totally neutral choice, or that it has no implications for one’s values lol There’s a significantly higher percentage of neurodivergent people who are trans compared to neurotypical. So if you’re conservative (and/or transphobic) you’re probably not compatible with the ND community.

3

Anonymous #6 2w

I wouldn’t say that. I’d say plenty of conservatives are ND, but there is indeed not only a correlation between those that are ND and LGBTQ+, but also a correlation that those that claim to be just “conservative” or even “Republican” are often either openly or not openly transphobic, even if it’s not always the case

5

Anonymous sage_cyclone46 2w

No, I agree, you definitely CAN be conservative and be ND, but the *community* and interacting with other ND people at scale isn’t going to be good. And so I ask the question straight up and right away, because it’s tedious to sit through ashamed waffling like “I just like traditional values” or “why do you let my politics affect how you see me?”

You’re trying to do some gotcha when you’re really just saying nothing. You just going to a question like that is also not in good faith as it isn’t intended to be a rebuttal to my original statement

Anonymous #21 2w

Okay. I’ll start from the beginning. Why does the fact that conservatism has existed for a long time mean that they are a benefit to this community, and that it’s logical to be a conservative as a neurodivergent, possibly to the extent of disability, person?

Anonymous #6 2w

Because there is more to being conservative than juat hating minorities which based on your comments you seem to think that’s all being conservative is

And I’m sorry if it comes off as intense contempt for you, a person I’ve never met, but it’s because of people LIKE you that large swathes of the country are hostile enough towards people LIKE me that they’d arrest them for using the “wrong” public bathroom.

What are the parts of conservatism you agree with?

1

Anonymous #6 2w

Less government intervention, more economic freedom in terms of less taxes, the nuclear family and more free speech

Anonymous #21 2w

Thank you for explaining, I appreciate your honesty. When it comes to things like free speech, and the nuclear family, what kind of things are happening that you disagree with?

1

Anonymous #6 2w

Well for free speech not so much in the US but in other western countries like the UK governments are actively working to take it away by having police literally come to peoples houses for stuff they posted online. And having conservative leadership would make stuff like that happening here much less likely

Anonymous #6 2w

And there isn’t anything happening right now bad in terms of nuclear family but I think that that way of building a family is the best based on studies

I agree that censorship is unreasonably strong right now, especially with the amount of data unfairly collected to facilitate it. I would actually argue that there’s significant censorship issues in the U.S., too, with books being banned from school libraries, and federally with institutions being pressured by Trump to remove bad parts of American history, for example.

Anonymous #6 2w

Those books that are “banned” are in school libraries you can still go to the public library to read said books also some of those books are literally erotic fiction which a school shouldn’t stock for obvious reasons

Nuclear family isn’t something I think is outright evil, but I worry that when you limit family units to such small, separated groups, the hierarchy becomes very strong. Children are more susceptible to parental abuse if the only people they could feasibly go to about it are abusers themselves. Same thing with domestic violence.

Anonymous #6 1w

I’d also like to ask… In addition to those things, do you ALSO believe things like “there are only two genders (and this should be enforced by the state)”, “immigrants who come here illegally make the country a worse place”, or “reproductive healthcare is up to the government to decide, and those who receive or perform abortions should be prosecuted”?

4

Anonymous #6 1w

Because if you do, and depending on how strongly you believe in those things, it’s not cancelled out by the more reasonable things that you, as an individual conservative, might also believe. And you can’t phrase it like a trade-off, because these two beliefs aren’t necessarily interconnected. You can advocate for less censorship while also advocating for the rights and dignity of undocumented immigrants.
