Hi, all.

As should be news to no one, polarization and animosity between conservatives and liberals is at one of its all-time highs in America right now. There’s even talk of a second civil war looming. Obviously, there are strong passions and convictions on both sides, and people on both sides have claimed that the other is a grave threat to the integrity of the nation itself. I’m familiar with the views and concerns of my own side: we view Donald Trump’s (and his allies’ and supporters’) statements and actions as being an attack on the democratic process that defines our nation, and are worried that the strategies and tactics he and they are employing will make future elections farcical, paving the way for an authoritarian state (a dictatorship). I am less familiar with why conservatives feel Democrats and liberals are a threat to the nation and its integrity in similar fashion. My best guess is that conservatives buy Trump’s assertions that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, and thus might have similar fears as liberals do, but I also get the sense conservatives have deeper, older concerns than this, and that Trump was/is viewed as a solution to them.

Can you please try to articulate here what those fears are? And, to any liberals reading this, please refrain from answering in conservatives’ stead. I’m interested in their opinions, not your opinions of their opinions.

            The sex that produces ova or bears young

            Shouldn’t you have learned these definitions already?

                No, it’s of the sex that can bear children. Use your head. If a woman cannot bear children, it is because something has gone wrong.

                A man who feels like a woman has nothing that has gone wrong with their ability to bear children. There is no diagnosis of why they cannot.

                But a doctor can tell you why a woman is unable to. A man just cannot and is not meant to.

                Think about it very carefully.

                  So, are you still thinking?? Look out for a fire hazard, I guess with the low engagement your brain is usually subjected to it must be dangerous for it to be in such a high-level work environment.

                  Or maybe you have lost your critical thinking skills and are looking for some talking points to reply to my messages.

                  Anyway, it’s always a blast seeing you backward-shit-eating-right-wing mongrels loosing discussions with anybody on the internet. And then watching you asking yourselves “how could we loose the 2020 elections against a proto-zombie as Biden?” is really a sight to behold.

                  Fucking losers

                  Well then, we just witnessed the first womb transplant which may well tell us that we are near to a time where a transgender woman will be able to bear children, thus becoming a real woman according to your definition.

                  Also, very ableist of you defining all women who can’t bear children as “wrong”. I’m sure you’d be thrilled if someone gave a definition of a male which assumed one of your features as “wrong”.

                  Thi k about that very carefully

      Still waiting for your definition of woman. To be such a clear concept to you you are taking your sweet time providing me with a simple description of a woman.

      Are you scared to write one down? Well, I get it, must be hard realizing life is much more complex than what your cult leaders are selling you…

      Though luck, I hope to find a more prepared right-winger for my next discussion

      “Im a right wing fascist because of my gender ideology”
