As a conservative, what do you wish liberals understood?
I wish that everyone, both liberal and conservative, was able to understand what “unintended consequences” are.10 Fascinating Examples of Unintended Consequences - Toptenz.netLiberals often think that if the INTENT of a policy is NICE, then the OUTCOME of the policy will be NICE.Liberals are NICE. Their NICE eyeballs look out onto the world a see a place where we should all be NICE.But being NICE often has negative consequences.Like letting a child molester or a rapist out of prison is NICE because we want to believe that everyone has some good in them. We want to feel that the person can be rehabilitated.But in reality, 92% of violent criminals will commit the same violent crimes when released from prison.So letting criminals out of jail after a few years is NICE and is also EVIL.Another big delusion is that a politician must have STRONG support to be elected.Sometimes politicians get elected because the opposition got bored and stayed home.America is a nation of centrists, that's why we have close elections. They shrug their shoulders and vote for whoever they sort of like better.Trump can get re-elected even if not one single person in the USA likes him. We have a binary party system, so if the voters dislike Trump less than they dislike Hillary (or whoever), then he'll be re-elected.In a binary political system, a politician is turned either on or off by the voters, like a light switch. Whether the individual voter adores him or hates him but hates Hillary more, the pro-Trump vote counts the same.In the last election, the greatest number of voters voted to stay home and watch Dancing with the Stars on TV. 42% of the eligible voters voted for Dancing With The Stars, 26% voted for Trump and Hillary each. In a pure democracy, the cast of Dancing With The Stars would be president.That's what makes Trump Derangement Syndrome so hilarious. After the election, everyone twirled about in confusion and "realized" that their neighbor Timmy who voted for Trump is a secret FASCIST.It's not that Hillary was an unlikable candidate and ran a horrible, disjointed campaign and got beaten by a blowhard. The fun and exciting version is that "Trump activated his white supremacist base." The same people that elected Obama twice are apparently white supremacists. LOL.I’m not a fan of Michael Moore, but he nailed it:
Liberals do you know why conservatives hate the EPA?
I am not going to bother to look up the stories and validate then. i am sure they are true. The EPA is still needed. Yet, you give anyone power for any length and they abuse it. I think there should be petitions to protest this. Look at the IRS, they were caught going after targets to be audited. These guys can be done the same. I wouldn't want life to be without the epa. I lived when there was leaded gasoline before there was an EPA. Let's not go back there. Yet, lets get a grip on the power of these people. Also, we didn't want to go back to child abuse being the norm. Yet, we did have many arrested for child abuse that did no wrong. They had to put a stop to the way they arrested people on child abuse. They need to stop what they are doing at EPA. Still child abuse is illegal and EPA needs to stay in place also reprimanded. they need to be sued when they do something stupid.
Conservative Arguments and Liberal Arguments?
I can only share with you the reasons I am conservative: I don't believe in abortion I don't like having alot of government involvement in my life I hate paying alot of taxes I have no problem with guns I believe in traditional values and the nuclear family I don't believe in social programs as always being permanent I think we deserve to keep more of our money being allowed to decide how to help others with it.
Economics: Conservative vs. Liberal?
Well conservatives typically believe in three major points. 1. Trickle down - when we give the rich tax cuts, they will spend more money on labor and production, and the lower classes will get more money than if you cut taxes for the lower classes. 2. Government is almost always inefficient - Government should not regulate businesses or other economic factors because money will be lost when government interferes. 3. The gov't should keep a low national debt- When gov't gets loans from foreign government it gives those governments power and entangles America in foreign issues. Liberal counterpoints 1. The rich get richer with tax cuts- the trickle down effect is not effective, it is better to tax the rich and allow the poor to have fewer taxes. 2. It is the Gov't's job to help people- People are poor because of social inequalities, and the Gov't needs to give basic care. The social good outweighs the inefficiency. 3. Globalization is a good thing, as the United States becomes more interwined with the other countries, the less poverty the world will see, and the more compasionate everyone will become. Conservative counterpoints: 1. The poor don't lose that much money in taxes- They are poor taxes are the least of their worries. 2. The gov't cannot help everybody- Private charities should be used to help the poor. 3. Most conservatives concede that fighting globalization is a losing battle. However they argue that America should remain as independent as possible, especially when it comes to money owed to others. American politics is tilted toward liberalism, even the republican party is extradionarly liberal in economic ideas. Sorry for the length.
Why do Liberals and Democrats alike think that Conservatives are out to get them?
They don’t. It’s political distraction. It’s the false victim attack. There is a type of stalker who calls the police and reports a criminal act. They will go as far as to stage a false attack, sound familiar? They go to great lengths to make themselves look like victims and they destroy the lives of their targets, knowing all along exactly what they are doing. It’s called the false victim. This is what Democrats are. Smollett, Covington, 2016 election, The Softball field. The conservatives have been under attack for decades. The DNC has a very ugly past and this is all a smokescreen to make the liberal elites who have been in charge for $70 of the last 100 years look like the good guys. Look at how the DNC lost their minds when President Trump said he would look at election results when they come in. The entire DNC lost their minds and said he was creating a constitutional crisis. The DNC has spent 2 years going after the president in unconstitutional and illegal ways. They also claimed only fascist countries go after their political enemies. The second they got their chance they went after the POTUS. All to distract from their massive obstruction of justice, cover ups, and corruption from the top down. It’s the rules for radicals they all love.In other words, blame your opponent for what you are doing. With a complicit media, it’s a tough tactic to combat.
Why do some liberals criticize conservatives for being "anti-science" yet believing science shows that there are more than 2 genders?
Because sex≠gender.Sex is a biological fact; no one (nobody with a brain, that is) is disputing that. If your chromosomes are XX, they are homogametic thus you are a female; if you have XY chromosomes, they are heterogametic thus you are a male. There are other variations, but that’s a whole other story.Gender, on the other hand, is a social construct. Gender isn’t a medical fact; it’s the way we, a long time ago, felt that men and women should do this, how they should they act, what they should wear, what they can do within social norms, etc.See, having a penis doesn’t mean you have to like the color blue, have short hair, be muscular, wear t-shirts/shirts and pants, do hands-on labor, etc. Having a vagina doesn’t mean you have to like the color pink, have long hair, be thin and petite, wear skirts, dresses, high-heels, makeup; nor does having a vagina determine that you must do housework and raise children. Seriously, why would what’s between your thighs determine that? After all, no anatomy book will tell you that female feet are more suitable to wear high-heels than male feet nor will it tell you that males are certainly males if they wear a t-shirt and jeans.The idea that your sex/genitalia somehow affects your role in, at least, American society is not based in science; it’s just how we chose to build our society, mostly due to Puritanical roots (again, that’s a whole other story).So, to answer your question: the idea of more than two genders isn’t as far-fetched as it seems on the surface when you really think about it nor is it anti-science. Also: you’re implying that most liberals (AKA anyone who’s not an American Conservative or Republican) believe in the idea of more than two genders. Most American liberals (Democrats) have probably never even thought about their gender identity.
Why can't liberals understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration?
Legal immigration is good, especially when we brain drain other countries.
Conservatives, can you rationalize incest?
You, who can't think for yourselves and are consumed by your failed faith and still insist on them, can you rationalize why incest is wrong? What happens when a brother and a sister couple is a severe lack of genetic diversity, so if they procreate, the chance of a ill child to be born is way bigger. However, if they use the due protection and avoid to have sex without it, the chance of a child to be born is way smaller, even though preventive methods can fail, thanks to you ässholes, abortion is not an option, but it could be if it wasn't for you. If a brother and a sister have sex using protective methods so that they can prevent any unwanted pregnancy, I don't see any problem in their relations. How are they hurting me or you? How do they harm my personal space by having sex? How do they affect my life? They don't, however it seems like you are mostly worried about someones body than their welfare. Why is incest wrong for me personally? Because I grew up thinking it is, and I'm not willing to change. However, I'm not telling you to adhere my personal morality. You can do whatever you want with your body as long as you don't harm anybody's space.
