Sophie!Every single thing conservatives are mad about can fit into three categories:
1) things they made up entirely
2) things caused by conservatism
3) things that are none of their goddamn business
Nicole ParsonsConservatives live in a delusional world where they are * told * what to fear or what to be mad about.
Yesterday it was women's skirts that showed "too much" ankle, today it is the risks posed by women with the vote, trans people living their lives free(ish) of bigotry posed by religious zealots, & democracies alarmed by the climate denialism funded by oil billionaires.
They are authoritarian in their mindset & told to expect folks to participate in their wingnut worldview.
invispace@Npars01 @sbelikeswords It's all fear based, and I dare say a lot of it has to do with organized religion, or at least it's used as a justification for bigotry.
Organized religion can do data modeling too. Their inability and unwillingness to protect children from the sexual predators within their midst is sending people away in droves. They fund attacks on the civil rights of women, trans, and POC.

Like the Republican Party, they face a demographic cliff where they've deliberately alienated women, POC, and the young. Now they face the consequences.

Republican Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers Pt. 44
This is the 44th installment in the list of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers who contribute to rape culture. These are people who abused their power or defended the abuse of power. These are not folks caught in consensual scandals...
MaybeMyMonkeys@Npars01 @invispace @sbelikeswords they would have to admit to the evil in their midst and their role in enabling and hiding it
J.H.NoyesReligious institutions invariably accuse others of being child abusers to hide the fact that religious organizations are the prime perpetuators of child sexual abuse.
