What an absolute shit take. No they don't. I grew up conservative. Megan Phelps grew up in God hates faqs westboro baptist church and so did her sister. They both got out and Megan is an activist now.
You need to grow the fuck up.
And I've seen plenty of left leaners become conservative as well.
Naw. You're a unicorn, not a trend. Most conservatives worldwide don't change and they would be better 6 feet under than ruining people's lives further.
Raised in BFE over religious tiny small town, extremely conservative, family. Learned to read, began questioning all of it, been the opposite side of that once I had access to a library, outside sources of information and reality.
Not many of the people I grew up with there stayed conservative once becoming an adult. Sweeping generalizations used to approve mass murder is not a good idea.
They do it all the time. Zero fucks given.
Sooo... It's ok to be an extremist, only as long as it suites your beliefs?
If the last 10 years are to go by then yes.
Congrats then! You think just like they do and are no better than your 'enemies'.
Shit like this does not help, it just keeps swinging the hate back and forth.
Your ideas are as vile as the worst magat's.
No need to reply again, I won't be responding to anymore ignorant swill from you.
Ok tankie.
Ok little kid. Wow
Spoken like a true liberal in name only. You'd suck the teat of white supremacy in a heartbeat if it benefitted you.
I'm a white supremacist because I don't want to condemn kids to death from illness because their parents are conservative and so they'll be conservative. You're really fucking not bright you DUMB FUCK
It's us or them. Grow up.
Past your bedtime angry kiddo. Maybe your dad should use his belt and enlighten you a bit. You definitely need an education
