I never got why conservative got crazy if you specify a pronoun, but at the same time expect you to specify whether its, it’s Mr/Ms/Miss (and often don’t take Dr as an answer), looks like the same question

    We need to get away from this thinking that conservatives are old and will die off to be replaced by young liberals/progressives

    This was the line of thinking in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and probably before

    Many people become more conservative as they age, and many people are conservative their entire lives

    Tolerance and acceptance comes with interacting with people and getting out of your isolated safe spaces - not by being young

      I think what you’re not understanding is the juice isn’t worth the squeeze trying to teach the old dog new tricks. Focus on the younger ones who are learning this the first time and more likely to be indoctrinated in this way of thinking.

        Nick Fuentes is not an old dog. Or Shapiro, or Walsh, or Owens, or desantis, or ramaswamy… not all red teamers are old. Seriously, this is just bad thinking that’s been around since at least the 60s, it’s been two solid generations and somehow all the old people still haven’t died!
