In mainstream media, women like me are portrayed through a singular lens: Our conservative beliefs. As such, we are easy to hate, mock and scorn.
Um, that's how people should be judged, dumbass.
JFC, this entire thing reads like something out of The Onion: "boo hoo, I contain multitudes, but I adhere to hateful bullshit, why don't people tolerate meeeeee? What happened to acceptance and inclusivity?"
She’s so close to understanding that if her actions result in her unhappiness, maybe she should change her own behavior. But it’s a conservative way of thinking to stop short and blame everyone but yourself, and then project and say that’s the problem with the rest of the world, no personal accountability.

Yes… it’s almost like people are hating, mocking and scorning your conservative beliefs and not the gender you were born into.
If this is in stark contrast to what you grew up with, the problem might be your environment, not the people calling out the things you can change about yourself.

This asshole is hiding behind her womanhood, using it as cover for her awful fascist worldview. Sorry, you being a conservative woman isnt the problem. You being a fascist is, and it justifies all of the scorn, ridicule, and social isolation.
This article is just another retread of the tired right wing cannard that claims intellectualism and critical thinkers must necessarily accept bigoted and authoritarian ideologies. The fear of this criticism is what fuels the weak, captulating nature of current Democratic leadership.
No, being open minded doesn’t require one to treat all ideas equally.
Do conservatives ever just shut the fuck up?
No. They are loud and scared of everything.

Who knew that supporting fascism and circling wagons around a pedophile would have negative consequences in a society that generally frowns upon fascism and pedophilia.
"As a conservative woman living in Texas, I often feel like I'm living a dual reality. I'm a mom and a writer, but that's not all. I go to church, laugh with friends and wave at my neighbors while we are walking our dogs.
Not the Mexicans though, because they shouldn't be allowed to be here. Or the gays down the street trying to adopt a child, because that's an abomination. Also, poor children shouldn't be allowed to eat food, climate change is a hoax, and if you disagree with anything I say I'm going to call you woke and unamerican. Why aren't people nice to me?"
Oh no, they're being judged by the content of their character instead of ~~the color of their skin~~ their genitals.
Same as:
I'm tired of being hated just because I'm a horrible person.

How about you stop trying to regulate who I can sleep with and marry? How about you stop trying to interject your fake sky daddy into my medical care by denying me the right to an abortion, or gender affirming healthcare if I happen to be trans? Conservative women spout nothing but hate and intolerance; they are reaping what they sow.

Ahem, what's that favorite saying maga conservatives love to shout all the time? Oh yeah... "FUCK YOUR FEELINGS!" snowflake
I should care, but we got rid of DEI.
At dinner, my kids and I discuss the Beatitudes
I tore an optic nerve rolling my eyes. Even Jesus himself probably gave it a rest at mealtime.

Maybe if you'd stop being a vile, despicable piece of shit people would like you more.
they routinely demonize conservative women who refuse to conform to the molds that the left tries to force us into
The lack of self-awareness is truly astonishing.

Progressives claim to value women...
Do they? I've never heard anyone say they value all women any more than I've heard anyone say that they value all men. Progressives, in my experience, value individuals based on their moral character rather than what genitals they have.
Cry me a river, dirtbags. You don't get to support restricting the freedoms of people you don't like and get a free pass.
This article is quite bad.
LOL, "restoring liberty".
As usual, conservatives seem to be using the Southern definition of that word.
Also:
Americans who are alarmed by Trump should recognize the significance of the nation's decline under progressive leaders. President Joe Biden drove the country to the far left, losing control of our borders, driving up the budget deficit and the national debt and imposing a progressive social agenda that ignored what most Americans believed.
What fucking universe do these people even live in? What decline? We had an economy that was the envy of the world at the end of 2024.
In no way is any sitting Democrat "far left", nevermind Joe Biden. Also, "losing control of our borders", drama much?

Editorials are not journalism and should not be confused for journalism.
Conservatives should not be confused for rational, thinking people.
That's why they operate almost exclusively in editorials to the point that they think editorials are news.

Zero tolerance for the intolerant. You want to be respected as a female conservative become a Democrat
Nah, intolerant dems can also pound sand. Intolerant people all around can fuck right off.

The whole whole article is whining about being mocked and provides nothing of value for why their views and conservatism do not deserve to be mocked. Nothing about what values they have that are laudable and popular with the masses.
Because conservate ideology is heavy on message and enpty of substance.
If you are a woman in the US and still vote conservative, you basically vote for getting chained to the kitchen.
Yes, but rich white conservative women are voting to lounge around all day making racist remarks about the maid and the chef doing a shitty job.

Then stop being conservative?
But The Post tried to smear her faith, personality and confidence from the start of the article: "Trump’s newest press secretary is radiant, blond and apple-cheeked ‒ as if one of Leonardo da Vinci’s Madonnas had been styled for a Fox News hit. Her delivery is righteous, if a bit smug. God gives everyone gifts, Leavitt believes; hers is public speaking. And for roughly a half hour, once or twice a week, she delivers Trump’s word to a room filled with professional skeptics."
If the trivializing of an accomplished woman wasn't so disgusting, I'd laugh. Can you imagine The Post smugly diminishing a progressive woman (or man) as "radiant, blond and apple-cheeked"?
What has Levitt accomplished?
I have never really understood people who are loud supporters of an ideology that is against their own interests.

Well, you could either change your ways or get used to being tired, because when you're hateful scum, people treat you like you are.
From the "fuck your feelings" party.
“Liberals are so mean to me just because I support taking away women’s rights!”
What a non-story, even for an opinion piece.
I’d say it’s a non story if Dems were in control, but this is VERY telling and a very important part of history - conservatives have had absolute control for years now, decades in many regions, a trifecta republican controlled state in her home of New Hampshire since 21. She should be thrilled, her life should be better every day, each day she should be happier than the last - so why isn’t she? Could it be that her political world view and personal beliefs don’t actually improve the world around her and don’t lead to happiness and fulfillment? It appears they don’t, happy people doing what they love when what they love improves the world don’t tend to bitch and moan and say they’re so sick of being mistreated and called out for their bullshit.

No symapthy for cunts that drag others down by working against their own basic rights.
that is what passes for journalism in 2025.
What the hell is happening? Why is anybody upvoting this article from April 2025?
Oh no, I made my bed and now I have to sleep in it.
Oh no, I voted to lose my voting rights and now I can’t vote anymore.
Come on Karen, if you’re such a proud conservative why does the opinion of others you clearly consider inferior matter to you? Is it insecurity? Does little MAGA baby feel self-conscious because it’s supporting an ideology that’s wants to abolish its rights?
No no it's just a conservative part the fact that you're a woman has nothing to do with anything.
Cult members are always targets for scorn. So are grifters. Derision and contempt are the least that you deserve for the criminality and abuse that you support.
