I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    It’s not “thinking differently” it’s “the beliefs necessary to maintain that political stance are stupid and cruel”.

      So thinking that biological males shouldn’t compete against biological females means your beliefs are stupid and cruel? Believing that all people should have the right to voice their opinions without being censored is “stupid and cruel”?

        Which one is the party banning books right now? You’re a lying disingenuous shitbag and this is why your conservatism isn’t respected.

          No one is banning books. What is happening is people are calling for books to be restricted to people of the appropriate age. No 10 year old should be reading a book telling them how to have anal and oral sex. Why on earth would you think that is ok? Why do you think they should be given access to and in some cases forced to read that?

          Thanks for the insults though, very mature and intelligent of you.

      Not every conservative is a racist nazi. Some of us just want the government to stick to doing what’s in the constitution.

        So then how can you possibly agree with the right? Is banning books in the Constitution?

        Westerners, especially Americans, have a really really hard time believing that you can be socially one thing and governmentally/economically another. For instance Im radically socially leftist but economically libertarian.

        Because Americans have been force fed the lie that you have to pick one size fits all, they assume that every conservative is also socially conservative. Which, in the case of America, means you support the wild anti lgbt/anti abortion legislation.
