If there is a way to kill a vulnerable person, a conservative will find it.
I wish you wouldn't jump to blaming conservatives for this!
They would never do anything so blatant!
They'd leave poisoned water and candy little children like.
The “pro life” party amiright
Sure, ALL conservatives are grotesque villains who love killing vulnerable people... Some people should hear themselves speak, smh. Username checks out I guess.
I'm glad you heard my message correctly.
When you choose villains as your representatives and then remain silent as they do horrific things to vulnerable people, you are a villain.
And your solution is to shame and dehumanize the entire conservative community into submission/irrelevance? Labelling everyone on your right a villain, nazi, fascist or whatever solves absolutely nothing and kills any attempt at honest discourse.
I don't have to label conservatives anything. They have done that for me.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservatives are incapable of entering a discourse in good faith.
After all, they said it themselves:

The concept of good faith goes both ways.
I'm sorry but hardly anything you said about conservatives in this thread was in good faith. Otherwise, kindly point me to any moderate conservative casually calling themself a villain.
If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you've got a table with 11 Nazis.
If you vote for villains, you are a villain.
How old are you people???
I'm pretty old. I retired a few years ago. Thanks for asking.
Old enough to remember that you punch Nazis, you don't appease them

Everything I have said in this thread has been factual. I am not attempting to convince you of anything. I am pointing out the harmful, grotesque nature of conservatism. You disagree. I understand. Thank you for your feedback.
You are now free to return to stormfront or nambla or wherever conservatives like to hang out these days.
There it is, calling me a conservative without any proof. Good job grouping me with all the other "villains". Nevermind that I'm a life-long leftie who understands nuance.
Aight, it's getting late here. Good luck with that two party system of yours. Seems to work out great for you! Go extremism!
When you defend evil, you should not be so suprised to be called evil.
So you're saying that you oppose the people removing the water then, right? How about J6? Do you believe it was a coup attempt by Trump and his compatriots, and they should all be held accountable? I have yet to meet a Conservative that does not dance around the subject. Please show me that I'm wrong.

Stop whining about "not all conservatives".
Of course it's not all conservatives, but it's enough conservatives that do (or support, donate to, etc) shit like this that cause people to die, one way or another.
Instead of crying about it why don't you go after your fellow conservatives about the shit they do instead of others for calling it out.
