Help me understand why the left dislikes the conservative republicans? This is a serious question. I’m a conservative and I’m not sure why the left is so against being a conservative?? Maybe some leftist can help explain this to me??? Like I said this is a serious question and I’m not looking to start a argument but I’m wanting to know what is wrong with being a conservative??? What is it that is so wrong???

Nothing wrong with it at all. Thats the part they don't like. They have an agenda wanting big government and the ultimate nanny state that can dictate every step in ones life. Conservatives are the ...or should be ... the polar opposite to that. Freedom is not a safe thing and that is something they can not deal with. So if you don't assimilate into their doctrine, you are the enemy. I for one hate being told what to do and freedom is a stance that I do to negotiate on. I don't have compassion for folks that try to take that away from me. So there is that

Conservatism requires more constraints and more responsibility than liberalism.

If someone is alive long enough they will become conservative unless they are wholly irresponsible for themselves.

Liberals cater to those who are supposedly discriminated against so they can get them to vote for them. When they get a majority they create bills with untold amounts of pork in them and call them some kind of discrimination freedom bill.

Being a conservative is portrayed by the media as being a traditionalist and a constitutionalist. The lib media and lib tech have tied this to old white people and white people in general hence the latest catch phrase "white supremacist". If you are against ANYTHING the libs want you are a white supremacist. Our own attorney general says white supremacy is the biggest threat to our society. So when a conservative says anything, he/she is a white supremacist.

Nothing is wrong with being a conservative. Problem we have is the media is controlled by libs. They tell you what they want you to think.

Ignore the media and big tech. Being a conservative is being a responsible citizen.

The same reason the right doesn't like the left. Water and oil doesn't mix

In my experience, liberal types feel unsafe without a "leader". Since their world view cannot be progressed without absolute obedience, they believe by necessity that everyone else needs to be obedient as well. Since self sufficiency is a primary belief of most conservative types it puts them at absolute odds with us...they need everyone who is not an agent of the state to be a parasitic dependent.

You do realize that somewhere on some liberal forum this exact same conversation is taking place, only opposite. Youre preaching to like minded people, which is kinda pointless. They think youre wrong for thr same reason they think youre wrong. Its why i stopped watching the “news” lately. Instead of just saying what is goin on, most news is opinion. Conservatives watch fox or the like and liberals watch cnn or some other crap.

You’ll need to define "conservative republican." The current party is infected with big government loving, fiscally irresponsible, conspiracy theory hooked and authoritarian kooks. They're not Republicans.

This very libertarian yet 30 year registered Republican dislikes those kooks almost as much as the radical left.

“We’re gonna vote our way out of it.” lol

There are places I don't want to go, and the leftist mind is one of them. Different critter altogether.

The first big mistake was listening to them speak of tolerance.

There is nothing wrong with listening, the problem is we didn’t slap the crap out of them and tell them to quit being stupid. You know, what their parents should have done.

You're more tolerant than I am, but true.

What you call a conservative Republican, most actual conservative Republicans call a RINO.

The answer is complex to say the least. I feel it goes deeper than politics and policy. There is something missing in many, if not most modern, successful people of the 21st century. It’s hardships of life. Struggle. Meaning. Purpose. Stuff that matters. And they scratch that itch with causes. It’s the cause that stokes a passion. Makes them feel alive. And hey, hate is what it is, but at least you know your alive. The 9-5 job, the kids soccer games, the ground hog day of existence for many is slow death. So we drink, do drugs, protest, take up a cause. Here is an example. PETA has no end game. There will never be enough done for animal rights. Meaning there will never be a time when they say, “we’ve done it, we’ve accomplished every goal, it’s over we won.” It just goes on and on. As humans we need struggle, we need obstacles to overcome. We need a fight now and then. And when life is so easy and completely comfortable you have to create something to strive for, to struggle against. Folks have timed sprinklers for their lawns, that are mowed by a lawn care company. Cars are starting to drive themselves. We have more money and spare time than ever in human history. People are bored and easily led…

It takes a different kind of courage to be a conservative, understanding that it's up to you to determine your future. That thought scares some people, so they need a government that will take care of them . They don't like to be told that they need to be a little more self sufficient. So they throw temper tantrums until they get their way

Right. That's not how it works. You don't get to show up late to the game and rename the teams.

For example, I see so called "conservative Republicans" on this site spewing kooky authoritarianism mixed with desperate populism. Conservatives don't act like BLM and they're not on welfare.

Pffft!! You will always find something wrong with anyone and call them traitors and liars.

You thought Trump was one of the worst things to happen to the 2A and America.

How's that working for you now?

Let give you a clue blaine. No one will ever fit your exact brand of politician. You take what will work best for the country and accept their faults.

If you a looking for a true libertarian, you won't find that either. Just keep voting for the sure loser. That way you can stand up for your convictions and flush the country down the toilet while you scream "I will never give in!" standing over the toilet bowl.

Good grief.

Everything is "Their way, or the highway!" They get a degree from a liberal college and they know everything. Just ask them!

Our brains quite literally function differently than leftist brains. There has been many studies.

If you look at all the studies, the basic difference is that liberals are basically tame or domesticated human beings, that no longer have protective fear responses to many common human dangers. This is why you see LGBTQs holding signs supporting Muslims who will happily kill them.

Just like domesticated animals, domesticated human liberals are easy to control and manipulate.

Why not? A liberal like you renamed himself a Libertarian.
