    They know the violence will come for them next

    It's why everyone on here sounds the exact same - they can't operate outside the echo chamber

    When I debate conservative friends in real life I destroy their positions, because most conservatives are quite naive.

    Another way of looking at this is facts are a narrow concept. They are narrow because there is a near universal consensus. Like it’s probably not a virtue that you are someone that can be easily convinced that the earth is flat.

    What this article is doing is saying that liberals are narrow minded when really they are just saying things like “yes climate change is real and the data proves it”…while not being easily convinced otherwise without compelling evidence to contradict and stating that fact and other facts are narrowly defined somehow means liberals aren’t open minded about other things which is nonsense.

    Just look at the diet of liberals that right wingers make fun of because blue haired libs are willing to try kale smoothies.

    Look at the music of weirdo liberals from big cities. Please tell me who has more open minded taste… liberals from Brooklyn starting a new indie band or the next maga country singer from the suburbs of Nashville??

    So yeah this article is flawed beyond belief. Political positions that are based on facts…. Can be debated of course but they should be fairly narrow minded. It doesn’t mean that you aren’t open minded when it comes to things that are not science or fact based discussions.

    I just talked to a friend who is "not about supporting that trans sh*t" and I exposed him for lacking empathy and related to his experience with racism since he is also a minority.

    I don't see real life conservatives denying climate change, it's just not a priority. IE, they dont' want to gut the economy for climate change policies while countries like China and India in no way follow these protocols. But if there's a global standard then the majority support.

    More broadly, 54% of Republicans say they strongly or somewhat support the U.S. participating in international efforts to help reduce the effects of global climate change.

    I love mocha latte's and blue haired barista's. It's not the blue hair that's the issue, it's the views that come with it. Any rational person is going to have their jaw drop scrolling through the nonsense on libs of tik tok.

    It's funny you bring it up, but there are a ton of minorities in Brooklyn complaining about white liberals. The hypocrisy of gentrifying and driving up rent at every opportunity, while never reporting violence or car theft happening right in front of them out of fear of being racist. Treating homeless crack addicts better than their neighbors. Constantly projecting their virtue while contributing to the problem. They just don't get it. I have seen conservatives as infinitely more open minded than my liberal friends who haven't jumped the fence. They're always willing to have a conversation. The majority of Republicans think abortion should be legal .. heck even majority of Catholics do. It's really a few evangelical protestant's who camp outside centers with a sign.

    Universities have actively suppressed and bypassed anyone with a conservative slant for over a decade. And when they come you'll have a racket of protestors making threats using an out of context quote. Do you personally support trans females in female sports? Do you view it as genocide when Riley Gaines goes to campuses and says it's not fair? Is it worthy of death threats?

    The left is not willing to engage in debate and will blindly stick to the script of who to demonize. Most of what Charlie Kirk said wasn't racist or offensive, yet every celebrity had an out of context quote to jump in on the dogpile and call him a hateful person, a nazi etc. They can't get past elementary school and why no one takes them seriously.

    Why is it pushed on kids though? Why should kids be able to take irreversible drugs, have genital mutilation surgery and undergo a massive life decision before they hit puberty?

    The trans stuff was always going on, but there was a concerted effort to target confused kids and push it onto them. De transitioners who have spoken up about being pressured into it because they were confused are silenced and subject to a barrage of death threats in public. On what planet do 10 year old's know what's best for them in life?

    If no one wants to listen to the 'WHY" regarding people not supporting trans stuff, it's because they're not allowed to express this.

    Incorrect - We need to continue to reduce pollution. Man can not control climate. Yet at least.

    Yes the climate is changing, it's changed throughout time. It's arrogant to think we can do anything about it.

    1st the climate changers say there's global warming, then they say there's global cooling when both of these predictions make these intelligent people look stupid they start using the words climate change to cover their stupidity. Truth is the one world globalist decided that they could spread America's wealth around the world by using the climate change fear mongering hoax.

    BTW, You intelligent climate changers have been telling anybody who will listen to your crap that the world was going to end in 10 yrs since the 70's and here we are in 2025 and there's no major change in the last 50 yrs.

    Show me proof that it's "pushed"

    Sorry but I don't see it, i see existing trans people feeling singled out and hated on for being trans. I see it referred to as "mental illness" which makes real people, feel like they don't belong in society. Now THAT is damaging, and THAT is not right.

    Exactly
    If an asteroid hits the planet
    That’s climate change that Greta Thunberg didn’t think about
