Conservatives live miserable lives with painfully fake smiles, and take offense when someone decides to embrace who they are instead of towing the miserable line. “It’s not faaaiiir” when other people don’t have to be miserable like them, and so they set out to rectify that.
These are the same people that advocate nothing in society should ever improve, that suffering is always deserved, and that we should always work to regress to less civilized times.
After leaving my (very conservative) home, and going back every so often and talking to my family, I think this is it. Especially for the older ones, I get a sense of regret from them that they didn’t live how they wanted or couldn’t do what they wanted. Since they don’t want to blame themselves and/or the culture, they blame their vilified minority du jour. It’s sad really. Going home and talking to my parents always just makes me sad about how I can tell they have some pretty big regrets about taking the “expected” path.
