(10,745 posts)But, more than anything else, I can't help but that think that, more than anything else, many of them would like to go back to their "idyllic" fantasy version of the Fifties, where were women and "them culluds" knew their place, children were seen and not heard(and were supposedly all much better behaved than today's kids, and were routinely "righteously" beaten/switched/etc. when they DID do wrong,, which *supposedly* automatically made them all behave again, and/or respect their parents, etc.), everybody despised "them fags" and there was no such thing as a teenager, etc.....(believe me, this fantasy, to varying extents at least, is so incredibly popular even with some more moderate conservatives, let alone the hardcore set, it would boggle your mind just *thinking* about it).....or worse, back to an era where women really didn't have a lot of rights: pre-revolutionary America, anyone?
It's all about control. And when you hear some idiot on the Internet, whether he's a "libertarian" dipshit or some wannabe radical saying, "hey, liberals are just as bad about racism/misogyny/etc. as right wingers", you can point out that liberals have rarely ever even supported these kinds of movements, and have never spearheaded them.
