    In-groups to protect, out-groups to bind. Hierarchy. That’s conservatism.

    They don’t see the contradiction because to them there is none. Men get medicine because they’re in-group. Women don’t because they’re out-group. The rule is applied consistently. No hypocrisy.

    You cannot engage them by attacking their hypocrisy. They don’t care. It’s like if someone said you’re a bad person because the colors of your clothing aren’t alphabetical top to bottom. That’s just like… Nonsense. Not a factor.

    You need to either get them to see more people as in-group (see: people who became less virulently homophobic or racist when they actually make a friend of that category), or you need to utterly humiliate their in-group. It’s all emotions. They’re stupid.

      What’s scary is that people in out groups will vote conservative even though the face-eating leopards come for everyone.

      I don’t get the high rate of conservative women. Why are there so many Serena Joys?
