Well... if a conservative:

  • supports gay marriage
  • doesn't believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
  • is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
  • supports transgender athletes
  • supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
  • is okay with drag shows and doesn't believe they're automatically unsuitable for children
  • doesn't believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
  • supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country's history
  • supports immigration
  • supports diversity and inclusion
  • doesn't believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
  • doesn't support patriarchy
  • defends women's rights to abortion
  • believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc

Is this person still a conservative?

Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven't you heard?

How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?

Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren't, you're hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives

I should be what? A conservative? No, thank you, I live in reality and I'm not scared of made-up culture war bullshit

Conservatives are much more hateful than any stereotype

Adding to what all the others said, majority of those who cross the border on foot are asylum seekers, and even if they don't have documents, they are still in the country legally until the court makes a decision on their asylum claim.

Then what's your problem with the comic?

[–] RusAD@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

And this is exactly the message of the comic. Yet you disagree with the comic...

I thought about it and... yes it is racist

[–] RusAD@lemm.ee -2 points 7 months ago

Nah. The accurate depiction would be like this:

Republican on top: "I drillled the hole!" Democrat beside him: "If you vote for me, I'll plug the hole!"

Voters and non-voters together at the bottom actively solving the problem. Non-voters: "I don't want to vote for this lazy ass" Voters: "Noooo, please vote, or else Republican will drill more holes!"

(BTW I think you should vote to prevent more holes from being drilled. But Democrats don't do enough. Biden was a president for almost a whole term now. Did he ensure basic human rights for trans people and trans kids specifically nationwide? Did he ensure basic human rights of pregnant women nationwide? Did he ensure the safety of doctors performing reproductive care? Did he penalize Israel for committing genocide? Did he enforce proper accountability for police discriminating against minorities (or, in that case, for any wrongdoings)? Doesn't look like it to me. He did cap insulin prices for some, which is nice and a step in the right direction, but yeah, far from enough)

Yep, near Saratov, around 700km south-east from Moscow.
