Comment on "Death to America" chanted on the streets of Michigan. (Direct video plus multiple articles)
UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 7 months agoYou claim to be a conservative. You are in the US. This is the position of the GOP, which is the largest political party representing conservatism. Hence, the definition of a conservative is set by the GOP. The above positions are held by all factions in the GOP (except for Jan 6th).
Imagine saying “I’m a Nazi” and then asking for quotes for when you said “gas the Jews”.

You don’t get to define my views. Either I said it or I didn’t. Otherwise you are building a straw man argument.

But I do. U said so yourself that you are a conservative. In the American context, this is what a conservative means. I can’t be a Nazi and say “we must seize means of production”. Words have meanings.

You can say connectives say something. It may be hyperbole but it’s fine. When you say I did something, you need proof of that. Otherwise it’s a strawman argument.
Unlike liberals, conservatives are not a monolithic group.

Liberals aren’t a monolithic group either.
In fact, I wouldn’t lump actual Liberals (as in support the philosophy of Liberalism, as espoused by liberal thinkers 200 years ago) with Leftists or Progressives.
