and there you go, that's my point of view too. Maybe I would have been a conservative by your definition - but they're so far beyond that. It's not driven by conserving, it's driven by greed and hate, and I just can't get behind it. Plus their idea of conserving is the 50s and 60s, a very different time from when I would want to conserve.

I think that's what's so interesting about something like Roe being repealed. To them, their generation, they went back to something. For my generation, Millennials, (and Gen X, and now Gen Z), they didn't go back to something. They had something ripped away from them. Roe was something that was a given, it was a right they had, one that they no longer have. So yeah, for conservatives they've been focusing for so long on holding onto an America that's long gone, by doing that they've been removing rights from younger people.

And I think younger people are pissed the fuck off by it. Vote younger folks! We already outnumber them by a large margin, just VOTE
