As a life long conservative who has been bitching about the left since I was about ten years old I am wondering about some things.
Ten is a bit young for political decisions, but I have gone on to study politics for five years, constantly evaluating my position, and having been at left wing schools and universities at the time I was also robustly challenged (the 90s allowed us to debate and have our own opinions, shocking I know).
I have read every manifesto, from every local candidate before voting. Every party manifesto at every election to see what I most approve of.
And I wonder…
- How many people actually do this? How many people really question what is on offer?
- How many have any understanding of all the proposals from parties vs their stance on one or two of the voter’s pet issues?
Of the newer conservatives who previously voted for left wing parties, what made you change your position?
- How many of us saw this all coming years ago and got shouted down, called names and have been struggling to make people understand all this time?
- How many of the newer conservatives were amongst those calling myself and other Brexit voters gammons ten years ago? Be honest, it’s okay…but do you see why we were posting those “FUCK OFF WE’RE FULL” memes now?
And finally, because I’m exhausted of seeing men say it’s all the fault of women that we are in this horrendous catastrophe now, what has been the split between men and women?
I despise the white liberal woman trope as much as anyone else. But also the liberal males. Of which there are many. And at the moment, it is women and children who are under the most threat from things that didn’t used to be normalised, and the results of mass, uncontrolled, illegal immigration.
That last part has, from observation, increased the amount of women moving to the right. So suggesting we shouldn’t vote is counter productive. What is needed is an awakening amongst the liberal left, regardless of sex. For all of our sakes.
Written from a British perspective with wider implications. I grew up under a female Prime Minister, something no American has experienced. One of our strongest leaders ever. Perhaps that’s why I see so many US men unable to see women as capable of voting, let alone standing for election.
Politicians, as with any other role, should be in their positions based on merit. And that alone. I have said that since I was a kid. And I long for the years I grew up in and started working in, for the country I loved. And still love, but we need a huge amount of effort to fix it.
@IfindRetards If they don’t like it they can fuck off. Not that they should have it in the first place but to have the audacity to complain is incorrigible.
@DebiEvansMatron@andyburnham@wef It’s been nearly 30 years since I got my politics degree so maybe the definition has changed but that sure doesn’t sound like democracy 🤔😏🤬
@VeitchAeternis Yeah but we always get left out of lists and shit and most of those using it as an insult don’t even know what it means 😂 And to give a fuck would be unbecoming for Gen X 😏
@Sassafrass_84 If we were obsessed with their genitals we wouldn’t mind them getting them out in public. As it is, normal people don’t want to see that in the street. Maybe keep them covered up and nobuwoild mention it.
@libsoftiktok Oh how novel, she’s not blaming Israel 😂😂😂 Has to be one of the two I suppose. Is it specifically Trump’s fault? Did they use space lasers?
@ToonDazza@andyburnham Oh the delusions of grandeur. Burnham thinking he is better than the public, superior…this, folks, is “Labour” sneering down its grotesque nose at the normal people.
I’ve never been a supporter but there was a time when I could respect them.
@NormalGayPsych Make a shiny, new thing to compete with Pride. Say it’s not for them. Guaranteed they’ll abandon Pride to hijack the new thing. Don’t show up to the new thing and let them enjoy Alphabetapaloozastock while you get Pride back. With the proper flag.
@JeanHatchet Government be changing laws, making ridiculous new ones and scrapping good ones but they can’t fix a fucking loophole? Might it be they could but they don’t want to…
Remember when the establishment hated Marilyn and blamed him for everything. And now they hate conservatives in Europe and the UK 😂
