> Indeed I had to call some people out for being really insulting to conservatives because that is really not okay either

Slightly off-topic but I don't understand this viewpoint.

The conservative stance, as best I can tell from following politics, generally involves enriching the 1% whilst actively wanting to hurt the less well off and minorities. To me, that does not warrant politeness and pleasantries.

Aren't those Republican voting miners from Ohio or something (I'm from Europe) part of those conservatives? If not, who exactly are those conservatives you're talking about?

As an outside observer I always equaled conservative with Republican. Can you explain why this is not the case?

You are mindlessly parroting liberal talking points. I'm not going to try to change your mind here, but do try to hear the actual conservative POV from an actual person offline, not what the democrats tell you it is.

Of course.

What about living for decades under conservative rule in the UK? Or watching what the GOP have been doing for the last 20 years? Do those count as hearing the "actual conservative POV"?
