In reply to the discussion: What I've learned about conservatives in the last few months [View all]toddwv
(2,830 posts)One point that I'd like to bring up, though, is that there are "good" conservatives. However, these conservatives who aren't batshit raving psychopathic racist sexist lunatics tend to be a minority in the right-wing now. As a result, they are shouted down and ofter shouted out of the "tent". They leave these forums in disgust and revulsion and the detritus that is left are the people that you have described. These people then gleefully call their like-minded friends to come join the fun and fill in the gaps with the same kind of raving mentality.
There is no way to reach the right-wing, however, there are those center-right who are now considered "liberals" by their unapologetically hateful "brethren". We may not bring them into our fold, but maybe we can at least keep them from voting for the right-wing ilk who have gone off the deep side.
