I don’t think I’ve ever met a morally good conservative. I’m sure they think they’re good but it’s really hard to look moral when your two biggest talking points are “the poor don’t deserve help” and “gay people should not be allowed to exist”

If you met any conservative and actually talked to them irl, they would not say that. You’re thinking about the very small minority.

It sadly doesn’t matter, the vote they are likely to cast is towards the people who want to ignore the poor and ban the gays. You ever bring up homosexuality to a conservative? Not a moderate which is what I believe you’re thinking of. They look at you like you just grew a mushroom in your forehead

No they don’t. They don’t care. As long as you don’t make it your entire personality, no one cares. That’s the problem, and they don’t want to ignore the poor. They want to get rid of abuse in the system.

“As long as you don’t make it your entire personality” aka as long as you only make it known behind closed doors so I can pretend it doesn’t exist. Like?? And what abuse of the system are you talking about exactly? Cause ik if I were saying that I’d be talking about how terribly the poor are treated (speaking from experience, don’t come at me from that angle), but I highly doubt that’s what your getting at

People who call themselves conservatives bc of how they grew up but hold “moderate” views when u actually talk to them are usually very different from extreme conservatives

I have multiple gay friends. I have a trans friend. He has a personality. They have personalities. Being gay isn’t all they talk about. I have things in common with them. I don’t want to be around people that only talk about being gay. We know they’re gay. It’s not like I’m gonna be disgusted if they tell me they’re gay. I mean I don’t agree with it, but it doesn’t matter bc they’re grown ass adults. They can do whatever they want. I’m talking about people that have been on snap for years.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. From what I’m understand, you’re just saying that moderate conservatives are different from extreme conservatives.

Good for you pal. Respectfully, that means literally nothing. Saying that is the same as every racist pos I’ve ever met saying they can’t be racist bc they have black friends. Everyone has a personality, lgbtq+ or otherwise. I have not heard of or met one single person who only talks exclusively about their identity in the sense you’re describing. People want to be able to express themselves freely and be open about who they are, that shouldn’t be any kind of issue

And wdym “people who’ve been on SNAP benefits for years??” As in, the people who can’t afford to make ends meet working multiple jobs to try and support their families? Who needs those benefits to be able to eat? Let’s talk about raising wages and lowering costs before we start trying to cut off people’s SNAP benefits again. Also for the record, you’re literally arguing for the exact immoral points mentioned by op in the post lmao, after saying most conservatives wouldn’t say that

Well yeah ur saying “it’ll be civil as long as you’re not forcing ur views on the other side!” as if this doesn’t apply to the left too and that “left leaning” ppl irl aren’t as extreme as the ones online and would be civil irl
