27. I submit that one can be politically conservative without being racist or sexist
Sun Dec 21, 2025, 10:48 AM
Sunday

I've known a few in my lifetime, even in my own extended family.

Yes the MAGAs are all racist, sexist and immigrant-haters, BUT my point is that those aren't required to be a conservative. The difference is the hatred that MAGAs are constantly spewing. Seems to me that their hatred comes from an emotional emptiness or maybe it's mixed in with some kind of twisted religious fervor, I don't know.

The political/philosophical conservatives learned long ago that they'll never get a majority of voters in the US, so they've been carefully fashioning lies to hook these crazies and turn them into MAGA voters. It has worked, better than anyone ever thought. Shame on us Democrats for sitting back and letting it happen. Whoever thought there would be this many awful hateful people living in the US who would give their vote to such an "antidemocracy" group?

The problem here has never been "Antifa" ... it's really "Antidem."
