With many ordinary conservatives over the years it is less that they are hateful than that I just don’t agree with the kind of stuff they often consider a good idea.

I have always felt that conservatives are too agreeable rather. They don’t like being confrontational-going against the group.

I used to try to not be an overtly confrontational lefty out of a sense of self-preserving alarm at getting into conflicts with what must clearly be a lunatic Idiocracy going by the state of things..
Lol

I didn’t think I would be able to pull off taking on this cracked society

But it just becomes too hard.
