Maybe a slight bit of a tangent but -

I think this "conservatives are big dummies who don't want change" thing gets a bit silly, when we're talking about how to run a society.

Human civilization has been around for thousands of years, and for rainbow hair nerds to think they're so much more "enlightened" than all of those previous generations and have figured out a better way is a bit silly and hubris imo. A lot of the "old ways" are based on being honest about the unsavory aspects of human nature and having measures to keep it in check. For some reason there's a lot of idiots who think that's "backwards" and that things like celebrating degeneracy and hedonism, vapid consumerism, being very soft on criminals, letting third world chitholers into your country en masse, multilating kids, etc. is "progress" and good for society.

It's a bit of a false dichotomy to pit status quo against full hedonism as the only options.

Love this for you deplorable cultist.
Lol @ “deny science”

Liberals now believe there are more than 2 genders, cannot define what a woman is, think a mask can stop viral transmission, & despite the very definition of the word..life “doesn’t really” begin at conception lol.

As once said by a fellow Misc…” liberals will do anything and everything they are told to believe, say, do, whatever. They are complete non-thinkers to the absolute extreme. Liberals are the IRL equivalent of a background character that exists with the seemingly singular purpose of just being there as a human canvas that reflects whatever popular ideology is currently prevalent in their culture / country. No matter how ridiculous it gets they just swallow the propaganda whole and roll with it.”

Libs are without a doubt the dumbest people dragging their knuckles as they attempt to walk the earth today.

I suggest replacing the words "Liberal", "liberal", and "Lib" with the name of a religion and see if you still agree.

What popular ideologies of today do religious people embrace without question?

You can't have faith without skepticism. I was offering a suggestion for some critical reflection, not a joust.

Okay, but you presented a premise, I’m asking you to give an example of your assertion

I didn't present a premise. I didn't make an assertion.

I suggested you use find/replace on your post and consider whether or not you still agree with it.

The Intellectual Left thinks going easier on black criminals is good for society.

This is AFTER having the advantage of seeing the effects play out in other cities, yet they continue to do it.

Cletus has more sense than your average educated liberal

Yes. You did.
Religious people have no problem telling you what a woman is, how many genders there are, & when human life begins. The same cannot be said for liberal atheists.

Wincel and Bodhy are self proclaimed "educated" intellectuals........look at their beliefs, and how they live their life. Pretty much kills their argument right there.

And I love how they look down on "tradies." People who have their own place, money in the bank, their own vehicle, etc.

Also, what would Wincel do if his dad's car got a flat? Probably call his dad up crying, and screeching, "WHAT SHOULD I DO???"

Bodhy would call for his insurance to take him to discount tire, which would probably take an hr, then a few hrs while they fix it.

What would a tradie do? Change it themselves in 5-10 minutes.
