So I live in the US, in a very red state. (And not the based kind of red) Our election commercials are all “I am the true conservative and that’s a good thing,” or “I’ll keep those dirty illegals out of our state!” “Such-and-such amendment will destroy our constitution!” Like, I’m tired man.
The modern conservative is a misinformed, scared person lacking the intellectual base needed to navigate the modern world. No amount of talking can reach 99% of them because they’re inundated with propaganda news. You can take their arguments apart piece by piece with data and statistics and when you leave them with no valid points they’ll just say “I trust what I see with my own eyes” or some baseless reason they can disregard facts.
If I were into arson, I’d start my spree by burning down every 24 hour news network as well as meta+Twitter. Maybe then they’d have a sliver of a chance to pull their heads out of their ass’.
