They explain all these away as not that bad, or not what they want. Some examples:

Are you a cunt who gives a shit about whether dudes want to bang dudes or dress like chicks?

Conservative: No, I am for traditional gender roles and family values

Do you wish to oppress brown or black people, like on purpose, in an exertive manner?

Conservative: No, I just think that people should stay with their own kind.

Are you trying to subjugate women?

Conservative: No, I am for traditional gender roles and family values

Do you long for a country in which the rule of law is taken directly from fairy tales?

Conservatives: The US is a christian nation which means our laws should be based on the Bible

They're going to weasel out of it, not just to stop discussion but also because it makes them feel bad that this is the outcome of their politics.

Have you seen this YouTube video of some black teenagers robbing a Guche bag store? Did you not learn about the immigrants with leprosy? Have you seen what they're posting on Nextdoor?!! Drag queens are invading libraries and trying to turn these kindergartners gay, and this based traditional father isn't going to take it anymore.

They spit on our veterans! They want to have sex with dogs! They are becoming radicalized by Shari Law and turning the big cities into No Go Zones with their Ground Zero Mosques! They are PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS LIKE IN THE BIBLE!

I saw it on Newsmax. They're the only ones reporting on what's in the vaccines.

Why aren't you taking this seriously? Is it because of TikTok? Have the Chinese made you Woke?

That's pretty on point. A lot of normal-brained people can't comprehend the mind of the rightoid, but this is pitch-perfect.

Man... I am 69% sure this is top-shelf trolling to illustrate the evils of conservatism. But, I am genuinely not sure. If this is a troll, it's very well done.

Check his post history. He is indeed being sarcastic. Sadly not all of his sarcasm gets interpreted as such.

Thank you for the investigation. Truly masterful performance. I almost down-dooted them!

Well most of those excuses are just reframing the initial thing to sound better. They're all just "yes, but I don't like you saying it like that."
