"Conservatives" are traitors.

112. Actually I think you're missing the point.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,
you will succumb in every battle”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I am interested in the true nature of "conservatives." I discuss them with the idea of understanding exactly what we're dealing with, not to inflame or insult. If I were to inflame or insult I would address them directly instead of mostly like-minded thinkers at DU.

I have reached the conclusion that it is of no use to even think of engaging these people. That is the point. They are treasonous. They are working against the interests of WE, THE PEOPLE. They are reprobates and if you don't understand that the thought of any compromise with us is anathema to them, then you are sorely mistaken.

And then too I have thought long and hard about what they could do to cure themselves. Of course they would have to moderate and be more like us, meaning they would have to be less ideological and less a priori.

I don't see that happening with this group.
