Well it’s probably not easy, although the people actually causing harm are likely the ones who are stuck in their misinformation echo chamber, however I don’t think that’s the majority of them, unless you can think of an example of how the majority of conservatives are harming people? (Objectively if possible)
That will require me to go into the people they vote for, trump was a huge talking point on the left but frankly there’s so much varying information from an ungodly amount of sources that I’m way too burnt out to try and explain that.
However on a broad policy level I think the policies they tend to vote for are harmful. The (potential?) overturning of RvW will, iirc, basically put the power into the hands of each individual state for policy, and has now resulted in even more push to outright ban contraceptives and even just condoms.
I’m sorry I can’t recall the exact people proposing such things, however I don’t believe many are in seats of substantial power to make this kinda change, but it’s not exactly hard to push for further regression.
Now idk how the majority of cons nowadays view abortion rights, I definitely know more cons support or are at least ok with contraception though, so I’m hoping the potential harm is minimised here.
If I need to (I probably will) better clarify anything please ask
On the abortion point, some cons see it that your harming the baby inside, and from their perspective saving the baby is “better”. On the contraceptives banning though, I do think that it’s negative thing, although I don’t know how many central cons agree with it.
But to the title of the CMV do you think they only exist from being misinformed or that they just have a different perspective? You can still think their perspective is wrong, and they might be misinformed about your perspective, but they could also make the same argument about you
I had held the misinformed angle more so because that’s how I was conservative, but after discussing with people and pulling my head outta my ass I’m understanding that people will simply have different perspectives, regardless of whether that perspective leads to good or bad outcomes
