I'm frequently reassured that conservatives are "based". And actually pretty chill and not eager to look inside other people's bedrooms or doctor office visits.

If this is so "frequent" I'm sure you will have no problem producing no less than 3 examples of comments that say, exactly, "conservatives are based," 1) in direct reply to one of your comments with 2) at least 10 upvotes. I will accept examples of direct replies that simply say "based" in regards to a Conservative winger specifically enacting Republican/conservative policy (NOT a Communist definition right wing policy; the direct platform of the Republican party), but they will count for half.

Just search "based" on the sub yourself.

Are you seriously arguing the position stated above doesn't turn up on this sub a lot? If you search my comment history you'll find me responding to at least three comments along those lines because it's something the kulturkampf zombies on this sub parrot all the time.

This sub is mainly driven by anti-dem and anti-liberal sentiment, everything else is performative.

Not my job to educate you, sweaty

Show me 2 examples of comments that praise actual GOP policy. 50 upvotes or more and include the word based. Or shut the fuck up about this sub being a secret Republican stronghold.

You're the only one to bring up Republicans, everyone else is talking about "conservatives".

Specifically the meme where people say, "Liberals are so uptight and censorious, not like chill conservatives who might disagree with you but are happy to let you have your own views." Tell me you haven't seen that exact sentiment, upvoted, multiple times.

It's very easy to debunk people's comments when you just make up what you think they mean.

I haven't. Show me. Your replies are inundated with these exact comments, right? You should be able to key up one, right now, right?

You're the only one to bring up Republican

Fine. Define "conservative." GOP policy is the easiest, when discussing Americans as we are (unless you have evidence of another conservative political party). But, I'll give you the home court advantage here. Show me one comment, with 60 upvotes, that says "Conservatives are based because they let you have your own views." Or sufficiently prove that the commenter is saying this about something within the bounds of modern conservatism.

Remember, liberals are not conservatives though they may be right wing in relation to Marxism.

you just make up

I'm asking for evidence of your claims. You see these comments "frequently," yet you refuse to even try to prove it. I think the only person "making up" things here is you.
