Two things conservatives hate:

  1. Being called bigots
  2. Brown people
[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  1. Gay people.
  2. Trans people.
  3. Women.
  4. Anyone not Christian.

Conservatives are terrible.

Do they like anything? I don't even think they like each other or Christianity much. I've looked at the conservative subreddit several times and I've never seen anyone I consider particularly happy.

They love owning the libs. Even if that means taking away their own freedoms

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That they do, despite the fact nothing they really do does own them.

Yeah those suck.

I lived very close to there last year. The motivation is clear. People in that part of the world are armed and hate everything. Literally all they do is stockpile ammo and wait “for the fall of society”.

I know I sound hyperbolic, but I’ve met lots of them. It’s part of why I left. They want to establish a white conservative mob rule.

People probably think you're just exaggerating, but no. This is a very common personality for rural white men to have. It's their "protect my kin" fantasy of the government and minorities cresting the horizon coming to take their freedom away so they can go out in a blaze of glory.

In reality, most of them wouldn't be able to get a shot off before they knew what was happening.

Most of them can't walk a mile much less mount an actual assault. I live in somewhat rural NC and the majority of this vocal minority are out of shape nobodies that live in very strange echo chambers.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The motive for the attack is also still under investigation.

It's ok, we all know the motive.

Sad how some things never change.

The way they are showing that they cannot park, it should not be a surprise to see that the cannot drive, either.
