jhzziga,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"100% my dad. He claims to accept my trans sister, and does a decent job supporting her through her transition. My other sister and I have told him voting Republican is not only going to harm his relationship with her but it could also physically harm her.

ji021qn,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"Worried about losing access guns, even though he no longer hunts

He believes dems are lazy and just want free money

He went to Mexico and came back asking (blaming) if immigrants were the reason for the high gun violence in my city

He thinks that cops aren’t biased based on race and thought the BLM protests were just a bunch of thugs

Edit to add: I’m sure he has other reasons but most of the things he says are just talking points parroted by right wing media but when you try to talk he either gets upset or shuts down and refuses to discuss politics.",1018,2023-04-28 01:57:06

ji027td,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"When Trump melted down in 2020 the first time he debated Biden, my best friend, who comes from a family of die hard Republican Nixon supporters, told me he would not vote for Trump.

Several months later, after January 6th, he confessed he voted for Trump.  He knew it was wrong, he understood Trump is a grifter and a con man, but he voted for Trump a 2nd time. 

I was so disappointed I could feel my heart drop into my bowels.  Why?  I asked. Why?

At first he couldn’t articulate an answer, but eventually he admitted it’s because liberals and elites look down on people like him, just like Trump.  He doesn’t like Trump, even wishes he would die, but he will never vote for a Democrat. 

And Trump, in his opinion, is a loser, just like him.",86,2023-04-28 01:58:21

ji055ia,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"It's similar to the Iraq war. They loved it, then it proved unpopular, and then they hated it. Now we're at the point where they start pretending that they never supported the very things they cheered for. Give it a year and they'll be arguing that it was actually the Democrats who were responsible for the culture wars.

Well, that's assuming that nothing happens to completely reverse their stance again. If Trump loses in 2024, which he's statistically likely to, I could see them immediately switching their stances once again and claiming that, not for the first time, they never liked Trump, and Desantis is actually a saint and would have saved the country if it weren't for the deep state keeping him down.",65,2023-04-28 02:19:38

My dad was like, 'Wait, I hated Goldwater. Are you saying the party I support is ideologically similar to Goldwater?'

ji0s4li,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,">I didn't realize how racist of a culture it is until I lived outside of the US for a year.  Was a huge eye opener for me.

And it was a huge eye opener for racism in my culture when I moved to US. Comparing with Europe I think in US some people at least try to pretend to acknowledge the problem.

In Europe we pat ourselves on the back that we are not like US and think we don't have any problems... while simultaneously allowing children to drown in Mediterranean, ignoring police brutality towards POC, assuming people's income based on accent, ignoring forced sterilization of Roma people etc. etc. etc. You just don't mention it in polite society.

OK - I haven't been living in Europe for some time so it might changed but I did experienced ethnic microagression when I was, and I did lisened to lived experience of POC in Europe.",53,2023-04-28 05:55:44
ji0hd98,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"It's interesting to me, cos I've had absolutely the opposite experience. My parents are both very vocally pro-trans, pro-LGBT, pro-BLM, etc, and typically vote Democrat. While there have been some times that they express concern over some Dems being too far left (Bernie being a notable example in my mind), most signs point to them being relatively progressive, especially for having been born to very traditional Catholics in the 60's.

My dad and I have had some genuinely pretty engaging talks about politics and economics, and I can tell that he came away with them with a new perspective. I also distinctly remember one time when he pulled over after hearing some news about a trans woman who was murdered because he needed a minute to cool down afterwards because of how angry and sad it made him.

Yet, for some reason, my parents absolutely, adamantly, vehemently, refused to accept me. Even when I gave them the ultimatum of ""I'm not talking to you anymore if you continue acting this way"" (after years of me sacrificing my life and happiness and comfort because of how ""uncomfortable and stressed"" me being trans made them), they still stuck to their narrative of ""we raised a boy"" or ""what if something happens to you"" or ""have you heard of x, y, z complications with HRT."" All they could say in response was ""we can't believe how ungrateful you are."" At least my dad had the wherewithal to wish me good luck. The emotional neglect I experienced was enough to land me with a goddamn PTSD diagnosis for God's sake. I still don't get how some people's views are suddenly so vastly different the second it involves a loved one.",52,2023-04-28 03:58:49

ji07ca7,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"Not sure if you are insinuating that I’m being disingenuous but those are the issues I remember the last few times I talked to him about political stuff. To be fair I live 8 hours away from my dad now and we usually don’t talk about much beyond football, we both cheer for the same team, and how everyone is doing. Like I said he came back from Mexico right after my city had a mass shooting and multiple other shootings in the same weekend. Asked if it was immigrants causing the problems because I live in a sanctuary city.

ji0swmq,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"The shutting down and getting upset is just severe cognitive dissonance between what he has accepted as his identity (""strong conservative republican man"") and the indoctrination from Fox News, etc., fighting against reality.

No really good ways to get them to accept that they've been lied to for years - decades even, because that would also force them to accept that they were *so gullible* as to believe these obviously not true boogeymen. 

Most people don't have it in them to truly accept they were tricked and hurt a lot of people (their friends and family too) as a result.

We just sit here and wait for them to die and hop the next generation will be better. (And I am convinced, for the most part, it will be, in part because Gen Z is the first to truly grow up with the internet and are exposed to so much more variety of culture, even if there's still trolls and nazis and so forth on it.)",45,2023-04-28 06:05:38

I'm sure Fox News still drags it up every once in a while. Chicago is still probably the crime capital of the world there. Trump was just bithcing about John McCain, a guy who's been dead for five years yesterday. Hillary's emails. Tucker Carlson's screed yesterday brought up replacement theory.

The change you see legislated by the left (at least where the individual is concerned) is largely about progress, change, improvement of quality of life for all Americans, especially the less fortunate. Conservatives on the other hand only pass legislation when it a) cuts taxes for upper echelon of earners, or b) codifies some restriction of previously held personal freedoms or opportunities for (usually) everyone except wealthy white people. But the middle and lower class whites seem to think that voting for any leftist tax increases on the top 10% of earners is tantamount to voting against *themselves* in a few years once they finally, FINALLY make it big and crack into the upper class. Which, of course, never happens, because all that conservative legislation exists simply to widen the wage gap and wealth inequality to ensure the average person can never really prosper and build any kind of generational wealth.

People gotta figure out what conservatism is. 

You can summarize it by saying ""racism"" but that doesn't capture the whole thing.

They believe their in-group, which is white evangelical nationalists, should be the *actual* aristocracy. They think the world would be a mighty fine place if their identity group had all the power, and everybody else just had to do as they're told.

So this results in fuck tons of racism, obviously, but also restrictions on women's autonomy, anti-LGBT laws, a complete disregard for the environment (cuz it's profitable and Jesus is coming in a few years anyway) etc etc.

""But what about poor conservatives?""

These people are the absolute worst racists, because they think the minorities are the only thing standing between them and the wealth they rightly deserve.

End result? They despise any government program that would help minorities, because in their minds the *only* people who should have privileges are the white conservatives. There's literally no point, from their point of view, in helping all people. Because that would do nothing to elevate them to their rightful position at the top of the social hierarchy.

It's all racism. Never forget, we fought a civil fucking war over this and while the South lost the war, the North lost their nerve. We never finished the job.

We should have cleaned house. Executed every single confederate leader, political and military.

We should have given all the holdings of slave owners over to the newly freed slaves. We should have kept union soldiers down there to enforce this until the south learned to behave. They started a war over one of the most heinous reasons a war has ever been started and they lost. They should have been subjugated. They should have felt the bootheel of their betters on their fucking necks for generations. Instead we let them off and they went right back to being pieces of shit, passing Jim Crow laws, sharecropping, and lynching with reckless abandon.

ji0lyb5,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"I think it's just what's easy. Having a serious introspection about your own beliefs, and how compatible they are with your supposed politics is never a comfortable endeavor.

I'm a former Republican, and while I was never on the radical end, I can still say it took me years of introspection and asking what I believed and why I believed it. And my many little differences added up over time. Trump was the final straw, he's what made me make a clean break with the party and I haven't looked back since.

But, who knows? Had Trump been the guy when I was a new 18 year old voter, I might have voted for him. By 2016 I had gone through a series of fundamental shifts that wouldn't allow me to even remotely agree with the agenda of Trump and the radical right. I gained perspective on immigration, and saw the other side of things, so Trump's very anti-immigrant politics never sat well with me. I was also very much pro-free trade, so Trump's protectionist ideals never resonated with me either.

But yeah, I think for most conservatives to get to where I am would require serious self evaluation, and asking deep and fundamental questions to themselves about what being a conservative really means. 

I was raised with conservative ideals, but I really believed in things like fiscal responsibility, and family values, and a small government. But for me, small government means getting out of people's lives, not imposing a moral standard on people. In my mind the Constitution exists to provide a guarantee of the most personal liberty. And that means things like same sex marriage were always going to be a losing battle for conservatives, the Constitution should always lead to more guaranteed personal liberty, and that means even liberties different from the ones you wish to enjoy.

I guess in some ways you could say I have libertarian sympathies, but I'm not a proper libertarian because they take it too far, they want to completely neuter the federal government, and I think we're far past that now. Maybe that made sense back in 1789, for antifederalists, but today? Yeah it's a whole other ball game. 

At any rate, I think anyone who votes strict party, and thinks salvation for America lies in any one party should take a good look in the mirror, and have some introspection about what they really believe. And be self critical on the things they hold near and dear. I think if anyone did that they'd likely find they have an opinion that strays from the big talking points the right and left use as weapons. Every topic has a gray area. I've found myself often much more in the gray these days. I'm hardly strictly for it against anything. I think the real conversations are in between.

Or we could argue till blue in the face and exhausted with each other, and ultimately not change anything. In fact just get more deeply entrenched in our positions. Thinking, ""I know I'm right, and you are just wrong."" But with each entrenched position suddenly new fortifications are built around it until the most absurdist arguments dominate the national scene. 

The more black and white people view the world, the more dreadlocked we get as both sides are completely unwilling to compromise, and what's more they move further to the right and left until they cannot even agree there is a middle ground at all.",10,2023-04-28 04:45:03
ji1wy2h,131al2t,r/Conservative discussing the 2024 election,"I'm a small government liberal. The government has no business in my bedroom, in my bathroom, or checking my kids' genitals. Marriage begins when two adults agree to be married and ends when one decides not to. Negative income tax can remove the entire welfare department. Military spending based on military needs and not which city the factory is in. 

I wish we still had small government conservatives still. They were good people. We might have disagreed on some policies, but at least they argued in good faith. I miss them.",10,2023-04-28 13:42:31
