Comment on What's the difference between asking someone title or someone's pronouns ?
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 year agoI mean. Maybe. But much of the time it’s like “hello I’m gay and I would like to live peacefully” and conservatives are like “whoa let’s not go crazy.”
It’s easy to argue for slow change when you benefit from the current state of things.
Also most conservatives in the US seem to be reactionaries or radicals that want to make sweeping changes like abolishing the DoE.

I’m not an expert on American politics but my impression is that there are a bunch of people with conservative attitudes towards change, and politicians know exactly how to play them.
They get riled up with the proper slogans and become what you have described. I’m not saying they are innocent victims here, they definitely should know better and everything they do is on them, but I still think this is mostly what’s going on.
