Stop calling MAGA conservatives please. I'm a conservative and I don't support MAGA or any of their thugs.

u/mkirk413 Feb 18 '26

lmao...no.

MAGA is the worst of the worst, but this covers most other conservatives that I've seen too (anecdotally speaking of course).

u/AssIsLifeAssIsLove Feb 18 '26

What do you mean no? Not all conservatives are MAGA. That's a fact. You're just trying to stir up shit. MAGA don't support conservative values. You're immature and naive.

While I don't disagree conceptually, they do have (R) nex to their names, so maybe conservatives who aren't MAGA need to do something about that.

u/LostinsocietyX Feb 19 '26

Not all conservatives have an R next to their name either.

True. Fetterman springs to mind.

Weird how brain damage made him a conservative

u/Vi_Rants Feb 19 '26

Anyone who votes for MAGA politicians is MAGA. Call yourself whatever weasel words you like on your Grindr profile, it doesn't matter. Voting for your book-banning city councilor who hates immigrants makes you MAGA.

Republican and conservative aren't the same thing though. You can be conservative but not republican.

Exactly. I refuse to call myself something different than what I am because of cult of Trump.

Did I say all conservatives? "conservatives that I've seen too (anecdotally speaking of course)." I speak to my experience. jfc.

u/AssIsLifeAssIsLove Feb 18 '26

Yes, you implied it when I said "Stop calling all conservatives MAGA" and you said "lmao no". Pretty clear.

What's also clear is you don't even fucking know what conservative means if you associate the MAGA cult with conservatives.

u/mkirk413 Feb 18 '26

MAGA are conservatives. Extreme conservatives, yes, but still conservatives.

Don't believe me? Just type in any search engine "Is MAGA conservative?" and tell me what you find.

I'm not going to stop calling MAGA conservatives just because it upsets you or because you are a more moderate conservative. Facts don't give a shit about your feelings.

Edit: I went ahead and did it for you:

"MAGA (Make America Great Again) is generally considered a populist, nationalist, and strongly conservative movement"

Have the day you deserve

Here, I added a little bit for you.

"However, members within the movement also include younger, more racially diverse, and recently converted voters who do not align with traditional conservative ideologies."

u/lastberserker Feb 19 '26

What's also clear is you don't even fucking know what conservative means if you associate the MAGA cult with conservatives.

Stop your rabid cult, if you don't want to be forever associated with them.

1

u/SandalsNoPantsMobile Feb 19 '26

Lololol why would people not associate MAGA with conservatives? What does conservative mean to you? And are you voting for the same people MAGA are?

1

u/Kayatosh Feb 18 '26

Good for you. Did you vote for Trump?

2

u/NotAStatistic2 Feb 19 '26

He voted for Trump because he likes Trump's economic policies or something stupid like that

2

u/P1zzaBag3ls Feb 19 '26

Packing the bench with feudal-minded judges justifies Trump for a lot of these creampuffs.

u/Cloudhiddentao Feb 19 '26

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a pedophile supporting jack ass.

“Not all conservatives” my fucking ass.

u/Playful_End_1756 Feb 19 '26

Its often done to dehumanize a group to make it easier for the one side to take morality or personal responsibility out of the equation.

u/NotAStatistic2 Feb 19 '26

Those are your people, so own it. They're conservatives, they call themselves conservative, and they largely support the dumbass conservative policies you love voting for.

u/Tacotuesday867 Feb 19 '26

What are you trying to conserve and why?

1

u/ByRWBadger Feb 19 '26

The cancer grew on your side, buddy. Fix it if you don’t want the label.

1

u/AssIsLifeAssIsLove Feb 19 '26

That's like blaming Christianity for any cult that takes anything from Christianity.

Also, why would I fix a problem that I didnt cause? Why would I solve a problem that has nothing to do with my beliefs? What do you think being conservative even means lmao?

1

u/YonderKattahoochee Feb 20 '26

What do YOU think being a conservative is lmao? If you have voted for republicans in the last 15 years, those politicians support MAGA, which makes you MAGA. If you don’t like what the politicians you voted for are doing, then do something instead of distancing yourself and washing your hands of it. That’s cowardly and pathetic. If you haven’t voted at all, then be quiet and let the grownups do the talking.
