This is so catastrophically problematic on so many levels. "Conservative" or "right" are valid and legitimate political orientations, just like "left" is. Posts like this that suggest that a political view is wrong are just so closed-minded and fundementally intolerant. These always seem to disregard that there is a disagreement because of ideology and always suggest that "the conservatives'" opinion is of any less value than their own. What the heck?
"I want a fiscally conservative tax policy" is a valid political opinion.
"I think trans people are grooming kids" "I think the election was rigged" "I think women shouldn't have total control over their bodies"
Those are not. Those are bigoted bullshit beliefs hiding as political opinions.
Your entire comment actually boils down to "you are bad for not tolerating the intolerant!" ...and you can fuck all of the way off with that.
Thank you for saying it.
