Why does the left dislike conservative republicans

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.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3572122/

https://www.scientificamerican.com/...brains-might-have-some-real-differences/

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.

Deep down inside they know there way doesn't work. Look at the effects of it in there strongholds. Look at the effects of any kind of government based social program, as a whole it just makes the benefactors more dependent not independent as is the excuse for the needing them. On the other had the values and principles of conservatives has a long track record of success as a whole. The lefts failure fuels there dislike of conservatives.

Tomahawker's description above is why the lefts agenda is attractive to a lot of people.

Leftists are petty, destructive and vindictive, just look at what they're doing to the country. They thrive on hate, and they're driven by the basest parts of human nature.

My short assessment by way of my observation.

Liberals: Are like spoiled children. They want everything at everyone's expense, without having to share that cost and responsibilties. All at the Federal governments control.

Conservatives: Are more prone to work and provide FOR themselves and family. They usually don't mind some minor restrictions, but few. Usually Constitutionally conscience.

Libertarians: Most times, anything goes. Drugs should be all legal. Each person's responsibility to monitor themselves. Do whatever as long as you don't infringe on others.

Thats my view from here.

Your reference to PETA and the recent current events caused me to think that the people who support PETA are likely some of the same whining about abortion rights. Is that not a contradiction of the first order ? I don't care what people support but at least be consistent.

When WW2 started from the USA view, Japan attacking wasn't out of LOVE! A day later Germany (Hitler) declares war on the US! Italy came along with Germany.

What did we (ALLIES) do to stop their hate and killing? We fought back and took them to taskl. We had Cold War after. Communist efforts to derail the USA!

The same is true with the Liberal/Communist/Socialist people have to be countered by the clear thinking US people.

If any of you ever watch any old 1940-1960 movies, the issue still remains today. There are (Democrat) Communists etc. that have a Marist/Leninist agenda their trying and succeeding every day.

Look at our public school systems with the teachers union being the largest run by Communists. Some teachers are Conservative but few speak out. They get railroaded if they do.

Do some looking and research for you and your family. If your an American and want to stay that!

Hypocrisy abounds in this country.

Please point out by name the conservative authoritarian that you refer to .
Also please point out the policies that qualify him/her as authoritarian in your opinion.

The big divide is between those who think that they should be left alone to enjoy the fruits of their own labor and those who feel entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor.

Can't agree more. It just so happens that those lines are drawn in the city vs. rural viewpoints at this time (same as in ages past - just more pronounced now) .

Because we belive in God
Marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman
We want a strong border
We're are not WOKE
we don't belive in globeble w as warming
We want to drill in our country
And we have prettier woman.

do not care what the left thinks...they are the enemy period.

Agree 100%

Freedom is scary. Scares Big R and big D. Scares a lot of otherwise non political people also. If you start talking about peoples right to own property, ending zoning and property tax ( rent for something you "own" and permission to use it ) the what ifs start being shouted.

Can't keep the money you earn because that would mean no more welfare including farm subsidies and social security, V.A. healthcare and public education. Have to also pay tribute to foreign countries to keep their loyalty.

Would have to depend on militia to protect our country from invasion and stop interfering in the affairs of other countries

What if what if and what about what about????????????

Need to put people in prison for dug addiction so we can't keep violent criminals locked up due to lack of cells. Cant have the right to be armed because we keep turning violent people loose.

I dont understand the elinemohpees but their lifestyle doesn't threaten my liberty. Republicans that support no more property ownership and more welfare do.

Probably because conservative republicans don't like leftists.
just

You can't really argue with that.

who are these conservative republicans? they ALL vote for more deficit spending. the divide between big r and big d is just a dog and pony show

The very first response to the post was a biased comment on Left bad / Right good. This will always be an argument. The serious response is: each side believes their own belief.

It’s 100% clear that many on this thread can’t define what conservative or a liberal is.
You can’t call yourself conservative and be a Trump slappy. Not possible. Add more debt than any President in history 40% increase in the national debt. I’m only 4 years. Not to mention he implemented the most aggressive government lockdowns in the history of the nation. Also was the first President to implement single payer healthcare.

I love the rabid “I’m self reliant” types. As they drive on government roads, went to public schools, drive in cars that are financed by the government, get all of their energy on government infrastructure, eat beef that graze on public lands lastly live on SSI and Medicare.

You need both groups to get ahead liberals invent and start companies conservatives run them and work in them. This is a fact. Look at all the self made billionaires almost all liberals.

To answer the first question it’s mainly a misunderstanding on what the other group believes mixed with the extremes getting over represented in media.

Because we know their bat crap nuts and are destroying our culture and society.

I disagree, even they don’t believe the crap that comes out of their mouth but it gets them attention and they feel important.

Just give us choices that include smart candidates that vote their conscience. Too many extremest on both sides. I am conservative by nature but am willing to listen to other points of view. No candidate should have to walk his party’s line, if it goes against logic and decency.

Good grief, I dont want to pop your bubble , But what part of an abortion could you possibly equate with decency????????????????

lol

I'm seriously not trying to be rude when I say this but I really don't get this question

I feel the same. Not interested in figuring out how or why.

Decency? SMH.

Yeah, (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) on that at this point.
