Where exactly do you draw the line between liberals and conservatives?

Personally, I find it hard to do so on most social issues because the positions have changed so fast. I mean 10 years ago, it would've been gay marriage but since then a lot of conservatives have (at least outwardly) been accepting gay marriage. Personally, I use the zoning laws since that's one of the biggest departures from capitalism that republicans support in contravention to almost all of their other stated values.

I think most Conservatives are still pretty homophobic, which is why they're so quick to believe the lies about teachers being groomers. It's just that now most Americans support gay rights, so they have to be more careful. Instead of talking about banning gay marriage, they do things like the Don't Say Gay bill where the homophobia is dog whistled in.

@BohemianBabe Most American believe in a woman's right of autonomy over her own body, but it's not the law of the land anymore. Nothing is safe and too many politicians have already declared open war on LGBTQ issues.

And this is serious. Old white men with no practical experience are deciding when and how a woman must enter into motherhood and how children must be raised. Old white men are opining about which citizens should have to right to express their love through marriage and deciding who you really are inside where only you know your identity in the world.

Old white men have done this in the past. The Inquisition, the witch trials, the Crusades, the claiming of this country. And every single time, it's the same; it will continue until people stand up, educated themselves (thereby arming themselves) and take a stand against tyranny.

@Graylight I mostly agree, but ease up on the racism.
