      Conservatives love to post from satire sites because what is satire today is reality tomorrow as the Left pushes forth it’s narrative

          Interesting how every study shows Conservatives as mostly happy people while the majority of those on the Left are in a constant stage of rage. Though that’s understandable. One group just wants to be left alone. The other group needs to force their ideology onto everyone.

            Translation: One group is blissfully ignorant as they wreck shit, while the other group has to try to pick up the pieces. The first group sticks their fingers in their ears and does everything they can to prevent the second group from doing anything that will help. Yeah, we’re unhappy. Congrats?

            Correlation != causation

            One group just wants to be left alone. The other group needs to force their ideology onto everyone.

            Conservatives have been constantly shoving their ideology down people’s throats. What are you talking about?

            This is textbook projection. You cannot imagine or entertain other perspectives or viewpoints so you assume everyone acts and thinks just like you.

            That decades old study you reference is bullshit. https://www.science.org/content/article/new-study-questions-trope-conservatives-are-happier-liberals

            Please stop lying. No one will take you seriously if you just lie all the time. This comment is delusion. Conserves are currently advocating the government should be in our bedrooms and bathrooms and be put in charge of making medical decisions for its citizens instead of medical professions, they want to ban books they personally don’t like, ban healthcare, ban certain people, ban first amendment expression, ban access to education, public libraries for crying out loud.

            If you don’t want an abortion, don’t get one. If you don’t want to marry a same sex partner, don’t get one. We all know you just started “caring about the kids” a few months ago, have no children and don’t devote any time in and around schools or your local community to improve them. Please just leave LGBTQ people alone. All they want is for you to stop trying to take their rights away.

              no one has any “rights” except those that the government provides.

              if the federal government decides that abortion isn’t something that it needs to legislate about, then it becomes a states issue. same thing with whatever flavor of the month you identify as

                Not according to the Declaration of Independence and the entire basis our society was built on. I understand you are not civilized people though.

                  our society has had a lot of various rules in the past. for example, chinese/asians in general were banned from migrating to America after they built the western half of the cross continental railroad. or how all Japanese were forced into internment camps during WW2. or how we used to happily import millions of afticans as slave labor. or how we forced the “native” Americans (humanity is indigenous to africa and nowhere else) into reservations, where they languish to this day.

                  I could go on and on and on, but ultimately, your “rights” are only those that are provided by the government - and they can changed very quickly. educate yourself.

                    This makes it seem as if rights are only provided because of the generosity of the government. That’s not really true. A lot of people have fought and died for what we now call “rights”. Yes, they are written on some piece of paper and legitimized by the government, but for most people, they are more than that.

                    100 years ago, many people didn’t have the same views on “rights” as they have today. They didn’t believe that, for example, disabled people should be treated as normal people. Since then, this has largely changed. Most people think that a person who is in a wheelchair is just as much a human being as anybody else.

                    The reason for this change isn’t “the government”. It’s not as if the government passed a law and everyone went “well, I guess it’s official now, I really didn’t like those damn disabled, but I guess I have to respect their rights now”. Instead, there was a shift in culture and how people saw other people, and this has over time reflected government policy.

                    If the government suddenly changed the laws, most people would still believe that disabled people deserve the same respect as everyone else.

                    You do have somewhat of a point when you say that rights can suddenly be lost, but the concept of rights goes further than just government policy, at least in the eyes of most people.
