Be Me, 20 years old. Psych Major. Rocking the blue hair (and would totally do it again, fyi....)
Get red pilled after the election in 2016 (I didn’t vote.) Lurk on the Donald, start seeing the bullshit the mainstream media censors Get somewhat alienated by very well meaning but brainwashed loved ones. You know, the ones who honestly want the best for humanity and have been brainwashed by the commies. Obtain Trauma. Go to counseling, etc to try to process/bury feelings about this. Stuff them deep down and try to move on.
Be Me in 2020. 24. The world is on fire. Person in my life gets red pilled. Person starts sending me red-pilly stuff. Feelings re-surface. See how badly America looks like it’s falling to globalism and communism
Fuck it. See you fuckers in November.
I'm guessing by "liberal" you mean pro-gay rights, or somewhat pro-choice or something. That's fine, but it's not what "liberal" means today.
I'm also guessing you think conservative means "against gay rights"? But that's not right either.
The real questions are: how big should government be, how high should taxes be, should we continue importing much more than we export, and so on. And, of course, should we adhere to the Constitution (yes, damn it!).
Classical liberalism isn't at all tied to those issues. Those would be much better issues to be dealing with than should we burn everything down though.
You can't be conservative and for gay rights ... that's not how it works , go read a bible .Gays shouldn't be allowed around children , shouldn't be allowed to work with children in any matter, shouldn't be allowed to adopt children
Conservatives aren't neccesarily Christians anymore.
There is not a secular argument for the government not to recognize gay marriage.
I'd argue that the government should get out of the marriage game all together, but that is a different discussion.
I am sorry for what must have happened to you when you were a child. I'm sure it was horrible, because the emotional scars are so visible in your words and even in your screen name. Instead of painting others with such large paint strokes of what a conservative can and cannot be, maybe that time would be better spent in therapy dealing with your childhood trauma. I hope you find someone you can trust, and relieve yourself of those horrible memories. Peace.
