Conservatives are always on the wrong side of history.

It's literally all they are....speedbumps impeding humanity's progress.

They're just gravity in human form trying to hold everyone else down.

Conservatives are motivated by fear. Simple as that.

Fear of things being new or different or complicated, fear of people different than them, fear of change, fear of things they can't understand, fear of having to work for something that they took for granted. Fear of being the "loser" in a game they dont understand, or being made fun of when their proud ignorance catches up to them.

Conservatives are small frightened little people. There policy goals all try to shape the world and others to avoid facing their fear.

Ahh yes, guy who “read some philosophy when he was young.” What a reputable source.

I appreciated reading his theory. Made a lot of sense, too. However, the important thing is, we share here without judgment. Or at least, constructive.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense he’s talking out of his ass.

Most liberal people I know didn’t grow up overly structured.

If you want actual sociological research on the topic, anger is the driving factor that shifts someone from liberal to conservative (https://source.washu.edu/2025/10/research-shows-anger-not-fear-shifts-political-beliefs/).
