I am not religious, I am just not at ease with idea of abortion and I feel that they should be as rare as possible
.... unless it's my wife's affair baby. Classic anti-abortion hypocrite.
So who exactly supports banning abortions? Because I know a lot of conservatives who did exactly that, including in my state. And they sure as hell don't vote D
I don't know what you're on about but I can recognize when someone can't substantiate their input.
We're merely noticing a pattern. Before you get butthurt over other people's noticing and discussing such things, you should prepare a reason why they shouldn't do so.
I do pushups daily and they are good for you, yes. In a way, everything is political as well.
As a progressive, I'll take a reduction to my allotted resources and to the wealth I'd potentially accumulate to ensure that my fellow people, as a result, each receive some minimum in order to live good lives.
Conservatives will tell you that regressive, restrictive measures are the only way to maintain (what amounts to a pretense of) order and then they themselves adhere to none of the rules they prescribed.
Everyone is hypocritical at times. And it has nothing to do with what your political beliefs are, humans just naturally are. Some individuals are just less hypocritical than others.
I’m not conservative - I’m not sure what I am - and I’ve certainly been hypocritical at times. I’ve told people not to smoke, despite being a smoker at the time.
Just because you would follow that one belief, doesn’t mean you aren’t hypocritical about something else.
I disagree; the hypocrisy is written into conservative paradigms such that it has systemic and predictable consequences through conservative governance.
In a changing world, conservative beliefs increasingly rely on misinformation and half-baked (at best) conceptions of science, sociology, etc. to remain relevant and conjure the fears required to maintain their voting block.
This means that the norms and rules that conservatives project onto the entire population cannot be justified (without a presumptive religious framework) and so there is no real reason to adhere to them so long as one has enough wealth, power, or other privileges and won't be snared by the consequences.
The hypocrisy arises from conservative ideologies being founded on incomplete understandings of the world and then using fragmented, warped bits of information to reach pre-determined ideological conclusions.
As a result, you see brute-force implementations of outdated policies for those who cannot afford to dodge the consequences and carefree hypocrisy from conservative leaders (e.g. flying a mistress out-of-state for an abortion that one voted to render illegal within state lines).
