    It’s because making the world better requires change and conservatives are terrified of everything, especially change.

    Go up to a conservative. Any conservative. And ask them to talk about politics. No other prompt. Just talk about politics. Don’t interrupt them for maybe 5 minutes. They’ll spend at least 95% of their time talking about fear, in some form or another. Conservatism is built upon, and maintained, by fear.

    They are so far deep into a propaganda bubble that there’s no way for you to understand it. If you could see their social media content you’d be amazed of how many lies they buy without questioning.

      This is exactly it. I’ve tried talking to a few of the guys that I work with and they are fully sure that every democrat wants to kill all the babies and turn all of their children trans. I pointed out that abortions should be between a woman and her doctor and that the government shouldn’t be involved at all… I got a sparkle of understanding from one of them but then he doubled down that MOST abortions are purely for convenience. Like first of all, no they are not, but even if they were it’s not anybody’s business. Trying to get him to understand that I’m not pro abortion, I’m pro mind your own fucking business.

    Billionaires control the media, including millions of social media accounts. Normal people want him.

    They want someone to blame for their perceived misery, and to vent their anger at others having it better than them.

    It’s easier to do that instead of being introspective.

      Honestly don’t see this as gay shaming. Thats just how fascist (and many of the terminally online generally) name themselves on twitter sometimes

      It seems gay fascists, open or otherwise, is a level of idiocy even above that of non gay ones, judging by the outcome of the dude in the Wikipedia article you linked to
