    OR maybe it’s because conservatives are more concerned about social issues than economic ones because… Well, that’s what conservatives do by definition

      I assure you that if that was the case this culture war nonsense wouldn’t exist and Americans would have a decent quality of life.

      You literally just argued that the “left” or more specifically progressives were the ones focusing on culture war issues. Moving the goal posts when someone calls you out on your bullshit is exactly what I would expect.

      The entire conservative psychological warfare doctrine is based around never engaging with the substance of any issues because you know you can’t fucking win. Get Wrekt ✌️
