    I think I agree with you, I was merely trying to point out that not all conservatives are fascists. Thinking that way leads to a superiority complex in leftists that may ultimately turn themselves into fascists too.

      conservative is an euphemism for fascist at this point. especially on 2025 political climate.

      i mean… hating gays, hating leftists, hating immigrants for no good reason and wanting completely deregulated capitalism with a sprinkle of christian fundamentalism and mysogyny and so much nationalism its weird?

        I’m not much of a conservative, so no need to try to bait me 😂

        But if that was not your intention, carry on!

          i didn’t intend this as bait, conservatives do build these euphemisms even for themselves.

          although liberals can lean right, if i had to guess i’d say you are more on the liberal side instead of straight up conservative or fascist.
