I do not like the word “conservative”. It’s not the fiscally responsible and accountable individuals anymore. It’s more about It’s-All-About-My-Personal-Beliefs-As-Everyone-Else’s-Reality. It’s about congregating certain beliefs and shutting out the ones they do not want to hear. They will call out “the left” for doing something offensive but they live in pile of horsecrap and not realize they are just as bad too. They do not like to be informed, they want to be affirmed.
The more richer some are, the more out of touch they are. (I know mostly lefties are rich…but.) But even middle class (or the shrinking middle class) are more snootier than other groups I can think of.
This weekend, the Turning Point USA, the conservative groups for the youth in colleges and universities, with a logo of an arrow going at a 90° angle curving the left to go back to then bow to the right to move forward had their gathering in Tampa. This place where many Gen Zers were in attendance. Most of their parents would be Generation X, and their grandparents being Silents, this is the buttoned up, suck it up (oh wait this is the generation of “Karens”), allaboutism to “the economy”.
Generation Z claims to be more open to other civil rights groups, but in the last ten years to see the Tea Party become the T Party with the way President Trump did a hostile takeover to that fringe group, I don’t feel very trusted with conservative people. It’s as bad as they recognize your existence, but deny your voice. You’re supposed to shut up and suck it up. I had seen some b-roill on cable news of these under 25 year olds that are probably not the ultra-rich children living on trust funds, but seem to be interested in typical, caucasian people that are perfect strong muscular alpha males because in the Stone Age, it was expected for attractions and procreations to have a strong-man figure.
Today, so many act like p*ssies and handle responsibility. In reality conservatives are no longer looking out for people like me. Governors Ronald Regan and John H. Suunnu had de-institutionalized the developmentally delayed system for political points. There was no long term strategy .
I love to be around people who are open to other’s ideas and aren’t going to talk down to me if I do not agree to their world view. Is there anyone rational anymore?
