Fair enough. I find more in common with religious christians than I do the more secular, reform Jews. (Christian friend of mine asked me on that. I asked her.... did you ever go to church that on Christmas seemed more concerned with Santa Claus than Jesus? I could tell from her reaction that she had.).
I was a liberal before my red pilling moment which was gradual after 9/11, when the Lefties on my college campus blamed it on the Jews. Now all of them tell me incessantly: "Oh, Trump is an anti-Semite! All the Jew haters support Trump!" I suppose, as a brown woman, you hear the same thing about Trump being racist. I'd bet a lot more than $5 on that proposition....
Do you have a year or so, let me tell you how the lefties in my family reacted to my red pilling..... no, not even going there. The occasional thorn on .win is nothing compared to that. Also, I've learned a lot.
Never forget that Dems try to turn disagreements to unforgivable offenses that must divide us and they must conquer anyone that disagrees. We are the opposite. We forgive. We don't need to destroy over disagreements. We're not afraid of opinions and ideas. We got our quacks but our quacks aren't in control of us.
Trump being an anti-Semite is just totally ridiculous. Just to give ya something to get triggered about.....Trump can't be an anti semite, he and Jews love the same thing, money! Hahahahaha. (that was said with love, not hate).
Part of me being conservative also involved me becoming a little more religious. And I think that eased some of the conflict I would have had with my still liberal parents.
Occasionally my mother agrees with me, or seems like she's coming over. She was sympathetic to J. K. Rowling on the trans issue. But now.... now I can declare myself a woman and be as much as one as my mother, apparently. (An odd thing for someone who fathered children).
But they honestly believe the anti-Semitism charge and that's no joke. They push the Charlottesville hoax relentlessly, and just as Scott Adams predicted, you can show them a transcript and highlight the condemnation of the white supremacists -- and they will not notice it. Hypnosis.
As for money, there's a nice line in Fidder in the Roof where the socialist Perchich has the exchange with Tevye.
Hahahaha! Perchick also had some really stupid interpretation of the story of Jacob.
I don't know what to do with lefties who just won't look at the facts. I pray for those who are like that for God to replace their hearts of stone with a heart of flesh.
The LGBTQIA thing is bothersome to me. I was in favor of civil unions but not calling it marriage because I believed that eventually, it would be used as a weapon to go after religion and yep, that's exactly what's happening. No one plays victim as much as the angry LGBTQIA++ but they are merciless toward anyone with a hint of disagreement on gender queer theory. Ya know the story of Lot...yep, we all know it now....the problem wasn't that they were gay per se. It's that they wouldn't allow anyone else to be straight. Lot offers his daughters. They want the men. There's something true in that story and the way the entire trans issue became issue number one almost overnight when Obama wrote the Dear Colleague letter. I think most conservatives don't think LGBTQIA+ is normal but in a pluralist society it's a "you have your thing and I'll have my thing" but now it's you have to participate with trans' beliefs and go along with it. There has never been a right before that necessitated that other people had to change their opinions in order for someone to practice his rights.
Oh yeah, I remember that. "The story of Laban and Jacob shows that you should never trust an employer."
Could not agree more on the LGBT thing. What's weird is, I used to be a part of it. (I'm not anymore). I found it... odd, even when I was involved in it. That's the nice word. I could also accept civil union, but like you point out, they didn't want marriage to be marriage. They wanted marriage to be a battle-ax against religious people.
I'm starting to wonder if... there was a book I didn't finish but it seemed a lot of the energy behind LGBT is related to the zero population growth -- that is, people who think there are too many people in the world. So have sterile relations. Convince impressionable teenagers to transition. Even if they change their mind, you already sterilized them with hormones and/or surgery. And of course abortion, abortion, abortion.
When I argue with the gay marriage advocates they are some of the most vicious people I ever argued with. Just: "If you don't think I should be able to marry another man, then you hate gay people!" Now BLM is using this same tactic. Which is even crazier because they're simultaneously anti-Semitic (I'm Jewish) and very pro LGBT.
Ever notice how BLM talks about pushing mothers, parents ... but doesn't mention fathers?
