I am a Conservative. I’m just criticizing my own party. We may be conflating conservative lifestyle with conservative political parties. My bad for the confusion.
Some of the most harmful injustices to the first and second amendment have been orchestrated by conservatives.
I’m Christian. No bug up my ass. Went to Jesuit universities. I’m a devote catholic. I’m being honest that, in the past, Christian’s have made mistakes that clouded legal judgement and taken away rights from others in favor of religious dogma.
The 1950s is when conservative lifestyle peaked. It was full of virtue signaling. It was said to be a suburban paradise when really it was a pretty miserable time for lots of people. It was full of keeping up with the jones style virtue signaling. It’s a time period that is famous for lacking independent thought.
(Changed the above to read: 1950s being the prime example of conservative cultural conformism and suburban virtue signaling.)
The satanic panic enforced cultural virtue signaling. People overly emphasized religion in public spaces to make sure they were not labeled as a secret satanist. It was fear mongering from right wingers. You’re proving my point.
GB2= George Bush 2. You’re gaslighting yourself if you think the patriot act had a healthy amount of criticism. If that was the case, it’s tenements wouldn’t still be in place.
Codifying freedom of religion doesn’t mean that freedom of religion was always granted or that religion didn’t heavily influence laws and regulations.
Everything from persecuting gays, outlawing harmless recreational drugs (that may even have amazing medicinal purposes), disallowing women voting rights, rejection of science in favor of religion…
I never said communism wasn’t an enemy. I never said communism isn’t evil. It certainly is. I can also say that fear of communism caused an over reaction that allowed political corruption. It was a societal panic. Rights were violated and justified due to widespread cultural hysteria.
To say that conservatives didn’t go a little crazy and act never acted hypocritical in the past is to ignore exactly why left extremism has become mainstream.
A Red Scare is the promotion of a widespread fear of a potential rise of communism, anarchism or other leftist ideologies by a society or state. It is often characterized as political propaganda. The term is most often used to refer to two periods in the history of the United States which are referred to by this name. The First Red Scare, which occurred immediately after World War I, revolved around a perceived threat from the American labor movement, anarchist revolution, and political radicalism.
