    I’m not insinuating that you are a conservative. I’m calling you out for espousing a very conservative position. Supporting conservative positions is a pretty conservative thing to do.

    And, like most conservative positions, the one you chose to support is harmful to vulnerable people, intentionally hateful and toxic as fuck. You chose to defend an evil position using deception. I didn’t do that. You did that.

    When you support conservative positions, you shouldn’t be so surprised that someone would call you conservative. I’m glad you would find being called conservative offensive. Being called a conservative should always be taken as an insult.

        Happens every day. People call me conservative, liberal, Nazi, Tankie, etc.

        Strange. That doesn’t happen to normal people. Maybe try not espousing hateful, deceptive conservative positions. Hope that helps.
