If empathy is a fundamental human quality, how can conservatives be considered human?

@hertoy HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@hertoy Conservativism is also about so-called traditional values—“the way we’ve always done things”. It has little room for progress, innovation or new ideas. That is why most orthodox and fundamentalist religions are so comfortable there.

@bijouxbroussard In my humble opinion, conservatism embraces new ideas, new technologies, etc... Conservatism opposes changes to our constitution without proper debate and legal procedure. Tradition is why the Muslims still live in the 14th century.

Sure. That's why they're itching for amendments for MARRIAGE for fuck's sake. You have got to be trolling.

@daisymay Pardon my asking, but does being a liberal somehow give you the right to be rude? Does it make you smarter than conservatives? What's your deal?

@hertoy As a conservative, you should know that the Constitution gives me the right to be rude. If you don't like it, there are remedies for you.

You come in here telling me I am misinformed, thereby demonstrating that you have zero credibility to talk about my experiences and what has transpired in my life to bring me to this point. None at all.

You come in here spouting bullshit talking points and obvious lies about conservatives and expect me to silently accept them? Sorry, that isn't going to happen.

@hertoy Muslims, like fundamentalist Christians, are [b]very[/b] conservative. Neither embrace new ideas nor do they accept people who are “different”. The two groups have much more in common ideologically than either believe. The only difference are the extremes.

@daisymay I'm truly sorry for your extreme ignorance - Empathy

@hertoy At least you are intelligent, my friend. That doesn't involve politics whatsoever.

@hertoy Yes, how very civil of you.

Belated Happy Holidays to you, douchebag.

@PoetryNEmotion That was not aimed at you, but the original poster. I would never talk to you that way regardless of the disagreement.

@daisymay And that’s why they’re allowing Trump to attack a free press, the Bill of Rights in general, due process...heck, even the First Amendment—where are all those “free speech” conservatives now that Trump wants to be able to sue people for making fun of him ? 🤦🏽‍♀️
So much for conservatives and the Constitution.

@hertoy I know. I am well aware. I am just stating my opinion. These political muckymucks never cause anything but arguments that never get resolved. I rarely participate in them. I am Canadian. I may jump into a fray...But not into the Americans' politics.

@hertoy I’m not being rude to you. But you say things that may only possibly be true in your world, among your crowd. They aren’t the reality of the conservatives who still support Donald Trump. There is even a running tally of the times he has blatantly lied, or said something on the record that he turned around and denied having said. Trump holds rallies demonizing the other political party—the POTUS—the US, not just the GOP actually takes time away from the job holding partisan rallies ? How is that unemotional ? Where is the reasoned debate, even, with the [b]President[/b] just calling people names like a child ?
