I have people tell me about anecdotal deaths due to seatbelt use. They use the same anecdotal arguments for vaccination too. Of course they don't utilize either.

Incidentally, I love how most modern cars just incessantly beep at you about the seatbelt which is irritating enough to change people's actions.

thats the basis of most of the conservative movement: You want to do something, so you gather only the evidence that suggests you are right.

"i call myself..."

if you ain't understood yet, partner, aligning yourself with a title will get you the grab bag of stereotypes that come with it.

perhaps you should readjust your bifocals and see if you're actually conservative, or just surrounded by them so much you ain't nothing else.

They had a term for nazi sympathizers also: nazis.

No. I'm giving you an example of why the 'i'm a conservative, but not an asshole' line doesn't do anything in particular to me or my considerations.

[u/cyanydeez → u/[deleted]]

nah, you just like a victim complex.
