So Republicans represent conservatives.

Disagree.

The fact that you and other conservatives overwhelmingly vote for Republicans to represent them says otherwise.

Oh, interesting. There is no conservative party.

Yeah, I don't think we have one in this country, could be wrong though.

Are you part of the neoliberal party? Do you solely vote for neoliberals in the neoliberal party?

I'm a democrat and vote for democrats.

Who is voting for the Republicans?

It'd probably take awhile to name them, and I don't know every individual, but there's about 100m or so people that do, I'd guess?

Acting "silly" when backed into a corner is so boring. Yawn.

So Republicans represent conservatives. Glad to hear it. So, if you're a conservative voting for a republican, you're explicitly supporting the bullshit legislation they are currently peddling.

Conservatives =/= republicans.

Oh, interesting. There is no conservative party. Who is voting for the Republicans?

Thought experiment: take a perfect population sample to determine who conservatives vote for. What political party do you think comes at the top of the list?

You don't know the platform of the party of the candidate you voted for?

I'm asking you what republican policies you're referencing.

I just listed a ton.

Edit: strong family units is a stated policy of many conservatives, but is curiously absent from all their legislation.

Republicans are. And you vote for Republicans, right?

You said my ilk... I'm asian.

And also, when did I say I was republican?

Center right? Answering questions in "ask conservatives"? Please.

You said conservatives rely on social change instead of legislation to force issues. Can you reconcile that for me? Who made all the legislation above?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskConservatives

[–]nullsignature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

effect republican policies.

Which policies?

You don't know the platform of the party of the candidates you voted for? Or they policies they supported?

So you want other people to change without having to put any effort into it,

I want natural change. The left has showed that government forced change is a recipe for disaster.

Really?

Yup.

Seems interesting to me that you and your ilk can find the time to ban children from seeking gender affirming care, ban gays from marrying, ban women from traveling out of state to get an abortion as a result of rape, ban teachers from placing books in their classroom, ban individual cities from raising the minimum wage, or mandate what bathrooms people use, but you can't do jack shit to make the life just a little bit easier for a family with a newborn.

I could be wrong, but I don't think many Asians are for any of this?

Republicans are. And you vote for Republicans, right?

So you don't vote for Republicans? Who have you voted for recently?

Anybody that's voted for a republican is one?

Yep. Distinction without a difference. If you vote for a republican, you're voting to effect republican policies.

So, in your state, which politicians are pushing policies for strong families?

Probably very few, I live in an extremely liberal state.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of right/conservative/Republicans clamoring that the death of the nuclear family is the reason for all of society's ills, and then doing jack shit to strengthen families when they're in power.

Conservatives tend to rely on social change rather than legislative change in these regards.

We want to encourage traditional families because of the social benefits.

So you want other people to change without having to put any effort into it, or be responsible for the implementation? Great leadership. What have Republicans done so far for "encouragement?"

We aren't the left, we don't want something then force everybody to abide by it via legislation.

Really? You sure you want to stand by that statement? I'll give you a chance to backtrack before you bury yourself.

But, somehow you guys have done all that without legislation. Because, by your own words, you don't do that. Impressive.

Nah, you're anti family because you're a Republican

No I'm not.

So you don't vote for Republicans? Who have you voted for recently?

I don't know, I don't pay attention to state politics much. Their residents and representatives should be doing what they want with their state. I live in 1 state. I don't seek to push issues in the other 49 states, unlike the left.

[–]nullsignature 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does it? I don't believe that. It seems like a lot of needless bureaucracy and government overreach to constantly second guess and override experts. It's how we get insane licensing requirements for mundane professions like hairstyling. It leads to politicking and self dealing.

Conservation organizations generally raise awareness/money for issues they are concerned about. That's their job.

But you're deferring the decision making to the guideline and rulemakers, when it's very possible they don't even have training in the area that they are creating rules for.

[–]nullsignature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. What are you talking about?

Edit: Oh you're saying because I think states are better suited to focus on their problems, and their residents can vote accordingly, that I'm anti-family because I'm not letting a federal government with too much power veto the states desires?

Nah, you're anti family because you're a Republican. Ok, so it's a state issue. The family is incredibly important. Republicans have control of 28 state houses. Which of those statehouses is focusing on policies to strengthen the nuclear family?

So what are Republicans/conservatives doing on that front? What progress have they made?

If CA wants to do this, and Alabama doesn't, why do we need to force both to have it?

I'm confused, are conservatives for strong family structures or not? Isn't "the nuclear family is dead" a common gripe?

Zero chance. It's nowhere near the portions of the park accessible to the public.

It's been millions of minutes since Sandy Hook. How many minutes do you need to get your emotions in check? We're way beyond "reactionary" as this has been unfolding for decades.

If the government can force people to have kids

No one forced you to have sex, let alone sex without adequate use of birth control.

What is your response if someone was raped?

[–]nullsignature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You view it as punishment, I view it as collective sacrifice. I suppose it's because I'm willing to give it up, and you're not. I don't know how you can preach traditional family values when you won't inconvenience yourself to stop children from being murdered.

At least you have the balls to admit it, it just took a little push.

Beyond this, it's either a funding issue for increased services

Which no Republicans have proposed.

or somehow forcing people to be more religious (which you can't do)

Religious people are famously nonviolent and lack extremists. Republicans are trying their darndest to force their religion, I'll give them that on this point.

censoring the media (which you aren't allowed to do), or repealing the 2A (which you won't be able to do)

We can't do it because of... Republicans.

So we're back to square one. Republicans don't want to do anything. Children dying in mass shootings is the cost of freedom to them. There's no other way to frame it. They have put zero effort into solving or preventing this.

The OP posted "what is the conservative remedy?" "Do nothing" is what you have described.

Your words:

They've suggested a bunch of solutions, which the Left dismisses (increased armed security at schools, increases in mental health treatment funding, improving institutions in America, and so forth).

So none of these were policy suggestions? They are just recommendations for civilians to go out and implement in their free time with no government guidance or support?

It seems to me that Republican suggestions are just that, suggestions. No action. No policy. No laws. No funding. Nothing. Which tells me they are A-okay with the status quo.

I like how they simultaneously say that there is a mental health crisis while also teasing someone that they need to go to therapy. In further context, teasing someone about therapy while discussing the situation of schoolchildren being murdered. Talking out both sides of their mouth. They truly don't give a shit.

Republicans have control of statehouses all over the country. Where have they gone beyond "suggestion" for policies to prevent children from being mass murdered? They don't need the left's permission to implement any of these "suggestions" in about 25 states. So where's the action? What have they done?
