Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Conservatives are entirely driven by prejudice and to maintain power structures. Conservative ideology was literally created by English and French aristocrats who saw the writing on the wall for the monarchy and nobility and needed to ensure that the aristocracy continue to be in charge. Today they serve to ensure that white cishet men remain in power. We absolutely 1000% do not need conservatives in society. This both sides are valid nonsense only serves to further entrench power structures and oppress minorities
