In reply to the discussion: Would you date a conservative? [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)Conservatives don't have any attributes that would even remotely attract me. In order to be a conservative, a person would have to be mean, shallow, dishonest, and ignorant, and would lack the ability to empathize. If they did not possess these characteristics, they would not be a conservative.
And anyway, their pheremones immediately repel me.
So, what's for me to like in a conservative? I desire a partner who is kind, compassionate, empathic, tolerant, intelligent, active, generous, passionate, wise, and loving. That automatically eliminates conservatives from the dating field.
Just look at the awful things that conservatives do, and have done, to people, and to our world. Here's just one of thousands of examples of the ravages of conservatism: If there were no conservatives, we would have universal, single payer publicly funded healthcare. Everyone would have access to medical care, not just those who can afford it. Because of conservatives, people suffer and die.
The fruits of conservatism are widespread stress, pollution, poverty, oppression, suffering, and death.
From my POV, conservatism is a mental illness, a precusor to, and a component of, anti-social personality disorder.
There is no such thing as a liberal nazi. They're all conservatives, and there is a reason for this.
You can make excuses for conservatives as much as you like. At the end of the day, it is conservatives who, because of their selfishness and greed, continue the evil within our socio-economic-political systems that causes billions of people to suffer.
Anyway you look at it, essentially, you have to be a pretty shitty person in order to be a conservative.
