This kind of shit was a big motivation for me to leave reddit, and now it's already on Lemmy. Great.

You can have right leaning beliefs and not be a bigot. Hell, I'm not even right leaning but many of my friends and family are. They are not racist, sexist, transphobic.... This kind of post just makes the left look childish.

ETA: you can have conservative views and not vote republican. The republican party is a fucking joke.

Sure you can lean conservative but if in the modern era you're supporting and voting republican you're either in denial, or complicit. There's not much the Republicans have in common with conservative values these days.

Exactly. What's so conservatism about trying to murder congress and overthrow American democracy again, like what happened on Jan. 6? These traitors sure aren't trying to preserve the Union, that's for damn sure.
