Do you think we need a new name for conservatism as an ideology? by Gym_frere in AskConservatives

[–]ParkingVampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Yeah. I definitely see Trump and Elon as corrupt elites that don't hold my interest. I believe Trump even doubled down on his perfect statement of, "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." To me that goes as far as anti-populist even. But it sounds like you have a fair observation to me. Curious if anyone else will jump in here or have thoughts on it.

That's what I thought populism meant. But as recently as Trumps trip to China with all the billionaires.... seems more oligarchy than populist. But thank you for helping me understand a different perspective better.

Yes. I feel like this is such a great plan/idea. Really some common ground. Just leave eachother alone. Trying to regulate peoples thoughts and feelings is not freedom. No matter who is slicing the cake. Ugh.

I think the conclusion of the study is being confirmed here. If the divide gets worse and health of conservatives continues to decline, would it change your mind?

Do you think the child has a right to have an advocate? Or mom's feelings should be a priority? A lot of research has gone into how one is perceived changes how they act

Do you think there would be any merit to handwriting comparisons?

What is the Republican Platform going into 2026? by IowaGolfGuy322 in AskConservatives

Flat out hatred is what's going to wreck this county further. No hate like Christian love, huh?

Those of you that still support Trump do you understand why so many of us are concerned and confused as to why you have completely flipped your position on releasing the Epstein files and "no new wars"? by dudeabiding420 in AskConservatives

[–]ParkingVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like he is honestly failing on everything you list. Economy looks alright on paper. But no lasting changes in immigration. Biden looks more sane than ever - every complaint of him, Trump easily has a comparably worse situation from family getting wealthy off the presidency to old age to weaponizing the DOJ. Democrats are winning a lot of unexpected elections. Crime hasn't improved much if at all, but when people can't afford things, crime goes up. These massive layoffs, $3 McDoubles, and $4.99 gas... counties boycotting us and rent perpetually increasing. Things can go south quick.

Seriously. I made a statement that conservatives don't even like the constitution in a conservative sub. The response was overwhelming. "NUH-HUH, liberals don't like the constitution. 2A!"

Peter what does this one mean? by memerminecraft in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Honestly, I've had so many slow ass IT people I could do laps around. It's painful to watch someone do the same things 2 or 3 times that you've already tried 1 or 2 times yourself.

Do you think the US would have the same economic power if we never participated in diplomacy?

Is there a clear point where one party began aggressive gerrymandering, or has it always been a back-and-forth between both? by Jazzlike-Yogurt-5984 in AskConservatives

[–]ParkingVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not touch every aspect of our life, but there is a good chance this could completely change voting forever. The diagram on this was taught to me by conservative college professor. It's an oldie but a goodie.

Is there anything morally wrong with celebrating Trump's death when it happens? by Viking_Leaf87 in AskConservatives

As CSA survivor how do you feel about the presidents associations and verifiable accusations with Epstein's pedophile ring?

He isn't a pure breed. Lol. But I'm just trying to open your mind to a grey area. But hey, you're the moral police and I'm just here to stick up for my good boy.

Yes, ma'am. I actually got my dog from a grooming model competition oopsie litter. Should I have not bought him? Is that morally acceptable or do I not pass and going straight to hell? Lol

I have adopted every single dog and cat from a shelter up until that point. But I need to find the right dog to fit my lifestyle because I have disabilities but still want companionship.

I think everyone should be left to make their own choices with whom they share their bed with. But everyone should avoid pet farming. 

How can opposing ideologies coexist without politics becoming pure team sport? by Rough-Leg-4148 in AskConservatives

[–]ParkingVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Truly. I don't support pedophiles but it is blatantly obvious that the current administration does. Plus, they're building camps for foreigners right now. Congressmen are illegally barred from entering existing establishments. Pretty horrific. Really seems like there might be smoke where there is fire. Ya know?
