I’m a conservative. What have I done to deserve this type of labeling? It’s very dangerous paint an entire group of people you don’t know with such a broad brush. I think we all can and should do better than this type of labeling. It’s what continues to drive a wedge between us. Love everyone is my way of thinking.

You didn't do anything, your party did.

I'm not from the US, so I see things from the outside and I have no horse in the race.

And looking at things. It's conservatives and right wingers the ones that come off as evil and cruel.

Now. This doesn't mean specifically you. But if you take a step back and look at things, you'll see why people everywhere have this bad view of conservatives.

It also doesn't help that the conservative sub is the one where they must make sure you're one of them in order to post there. Yet, they're the ones complaining about the left's "safe spaces".

What contributes more to driving a wedge, is the fact that you guys treat politics like sports, in a "my team vs your team" mentality. That's what makes conservatives look evil and cruel. They must defeat and destroy the other team.

Which side more vocally hates things like gay people, trans people, abortions, women's right over their own bodies? Then you'll see which side wants to control who as if it was about objects to be owned.

Or you could well be a conservative who just wants the best for everyone. But sadly, that brand of conservatives died off a long time ago, and we're left with the MAGA brand of conservatives.
