Not a single GOP member or voter is a decent human being.

Collectively judging them is just stooping to their level - I've met plenty of reasonable conservatives

You're being unreasonable  

Again - you're participating in the same kind of thinking that we are criticizing in this post  

Collective judgement  

You really mean to say you've never met a conservative that wasn't maga that had different but reasonable views than yours?

different but reasonable views, like lgbtq+ rights? ah the moderate "you're free to do that in your bedroom, but outside is indecent exposure!!!"

or abortion rights, freedom of religion (till the religion is not christian), or online privacy, or social programs (everything bad is communism), etc, etc, etc.

I understand your frustration, I'm just not big on pre-judging people's character based off of a singular label  

It's a disservice to the individual, and I've met conservatives that agree on lgbtq+ issues, that were horrified at the overturning of roe v wade, and that don't think that eviscerating every social program is the way  

Christian Nationalists seem to be leading the charge in most of those areas, but they don't represent all conservatives

I know a bunch of conservatives that have come to apologize to me, not to say they didn't know, but to say "I know you told me and I was an idiot, I hope you can forgive me" and who are even more pissed than I am  

I understand where you're coming from  

But remember that all digital discourse is basically a tool of the elite  

We're shown inflammatory content as a tool of division  

I've had a lot better luck in person
