      Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren’t, you’re hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives

          How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?

              Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven’t you heard?

                I’ve seen strong polarization in politics, and people demonizing their opponents. Thinking the majority falls in that extreme spectrum is a ridiculous notion imo

                  Well… if a conservative:

                  • supports gay marriage
                  • doesn’t believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
                  • is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
                  • supports transgender athletes
                  • supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
                  • is okay with drag shows and doesn’t believe they’re automatically unsuitable for children
                  • doesn’t believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
                  • supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country’s history
                  • supports immigration
                  • supports diversity and inclusion
                  • doesn’t believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
                  • doesn’t support patriarchy
                  • defends women’s rights to abortion
                  • believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc

                  Is this person still a conservative?

                    That is a long list, perhaps there’s nuance here? Someone can support some of those and not others, and still mostly lean into a particular political direction
