MODERATORS
You support anti trans and LGBTQ legislation, you support book banning, you support guns in favor of kids, you support taking womens' rights away from them, you support the apartheid state of Israel and there is a possibility that you support the Jan 6th coup attempt. From my perspective you are no different from these assholes.
If you claim to be conservative only from an economic sense while being progressive socially, then you are not conservative - you are a liberal.
You claim to be a conservative. You are in the US. This is the position of the GOP, which is the largest political party representing conservatism. Hence, the definition of a conservative is set by the GOP. The above positions are held by all factions in the GOP (except for Jan 6th).
Imagine saying "I'm a Nazi" and then asking for quotes for when you said "gas the Jews".
But I do. U said so yourself that you are a conservative. In the American context, this is what a conservative means. I can't be a Nazi and say "we must seize means of production". Words have meanings.
Liberals aren't a monolithic group either.
In fact, I wouldn't lump actual Liberals (as in support the philosophy of Liberalism, as espoused by liberal thinkers 200 years ago) with Leftists or Progressives.
