Why do Conservatives always stereotype Liberals as "lazy"?
The main persons that conservatives call liberals lazy are the individuals live off entitlements. They are calling the people that foolish advance liberal policies. Those people are only lazy in their thinking. They don't look at the possible unintended consequences before they amass a group to fight for a feel good policy which they wish others to pay. Well maybe there is a reason conservatives call the individuals lazy that are simply advancing these policies yet not part taking in them - they don't pay for them totally.
How did everything get so politicized? Why do liberals make everything about race? I think its making our country more divided, what can I do?
Maybe because at the core many political positions are about race. For example the idea that to be against police brutality you must be against the police and for rioters or law breaking. To be against building a wall you must be for a flood of Mexicans streaming across borders. To be against voter id laws you must be for so called rigged elections. To be against government waste then you must be for welfare reform so the takers of society don’t get what they shouldn’t have.The highlighting of police as being the victims is in response to BLM concerns and is done solely to marginalize and minimize BLM instead of reviewing and acknowkedging the racism present in many police departments.The idea that Mexicans are taking jobs or flooding across borders is not backed up by any facts but it is backed up by racist attitudes.Voter fraud is a non-issue made out to be a huge issue for the sole purpose and sole effect of reducing access to voting. Those effected most are likely minorities.Welfare is not the major expense or social evil it is often protrayed to be. Corporate tax loop holes and the ability of the wealthy to avoid paying taxes is a much larger money drain on society but welfare recepients get the negaitivity directed at them because of racism being in play.A president just left office after successfully piloting the country to a much better place on most all fronts and yet comments directed at him and his family included racist references such as apes, monkey, jungle dwellers, and worse.
Why do conservatives think liberals should just sit back and "take it" rather than criticize Trump's harsh policies?
I doubt there is a consensus on any issue among conservatives. Certainly every Republican promised to repeal and replace Obamacare but when they got beyond a slogan there is no agreement and wide disparity of opinion. And the Republicans are the party of conservatives. So no body can speak for conservatives as a unit.In the US, conservatism has evolved from its roots of laissez faire (i.e. minimal government and regulation) and balanced budgets. To-day there is the phenomena of social conservatism. Most prominently this encompasses anti-abortion but has side effects of downplaying the female gender, evangelical religion and sometimes the superiority of some skin colors at the expense of others.The conservative tradition evolved from the medieval nobility where nobles held the power of life and death over all others. This places the conservative philosophy, to the extent it still exists, as the self appointed ruling party where other’s opinions are irrelevant. It is conservatives that routinely gerrymander and conservatives that lead the voter suppression movement in the guise of preventing voter fraud.All this leads to the conclusion ( perhaps unstated) that opponents should just shut up.
Why do liberals hate minorities?
Liberals support welfare policies that perpetuate the cycle of poverty, hurting minorities the most. They oppose charter schools, making it harder for minorities to escape their horrible, unionized public urban school. Liberals oppose the death penalty, resulting in higher crime, which has a disproportionate effect on minorities. Liberals oppose lowering taxes, which increases unemployment and hurts poor people the most, which are predominantly minorities. Liberals support raising the minimum wage and implementing job-killing regulations, which also increases the unemployment rate of unskilled people, a pool predominantly composed of minorities. Liberals, why do you hate blacks and Hispanics so much????
Why does the Democratic party believe that voter ID laws suppress minority voting?
What percentage of people living in the US are non citizens and not eligible to vote? Mostly in the single digits in most states.Even if you assumed all non citizens turned out to vote, and they all voted monolithically for the same party, it wouldn't have that much impact on most races in most states.But most non citizens are not trying to vote. If you are here illegally, you are trying hard to keep a very low profile and not attract any attention by any authorities. Why would you ever boldly show up at a voting place?But even if they were, and were all voting monolithically, there aren't enough of them to make a big impact in most elections.You look around and the vast majority, over 90%, of the people you see are fellow citizens that are eligible to vote.So this whole process of needing to register to vote and jump through all these hoops to cast a vote is ridiculous and only weeds out about 2% - 5% of the population on average, maybe 10% or so in a few states with high undocumented populations.When you think about it, it's obvious that all these hoops and speed bumps people need to go through in order to vote are way more about suppressing the vote of poor and minority citizens than about eliminating voter fraud.Most election fraud is committed by corrupt election officials changing vote counts or by hackers hacking into computerized voting machines. Not by people showing up to vote who aren't eligible to vote.
