      Ohh that would almost be clever if it weren’t conservatives dragging the world through their unga bunga bullshit.

        We started with hating the gays, then we accepted gays, now we hate straights. See, backwards. “Conservitves”, have been progressing in their own direction, which is not actually conservative but a branch of liberalism that focuses on things like anti abortion and more government control over that as well as border control and anti lgbt. One side of liberalism wants more government control over social things, the other wants government control over economic and state things. By things I mean…whatever those removed are bickering about ATM I’m not sure, thats just my own conclusion.

          No one cares about straight people enough to hate us. Spare me your fox news talking points about why we’re actually the most persecuted group in the universe. It’s old hat bullshit.

          No idea who hates straight people, but that line alone is telling me you need to touch grass.

          by things I mean… whatever those removed are bickering about ATM I’m not sure

          No, no, I’m fairly certain you do. Please elaborate on what things you’re talking about in this context.

          Some people think of politics as a circle instead of a spectrum, if that’s what you mean.

          From what I can tell gay people are getting a lot of hate sent their way lately. Didn’t someone just get shot and killed for having a pride flag.

      Progressive to me means fair wages, medicare for all, tackling climate change, defending civil rights, protecting against authoritarianism, tackling the wage gap, making government work for all people, etc.

      Conservative means insurrection, praising authoritarianism, banning books, attacking public education, idolizing the ultra wealthy, culture wars, gerrymandering, preventing fair elections, etc.

      I know what I prefer.
