This is true though. 1992 Bill Clinton would be a republican today. Biden supported a 1994 crime bill that is considered racist today. Obama didn't support gay marriage in 2008. Now liberals are fighting for sex change treatments for children. People 30 years ago would consider such an idea a grotesque absurdity.
It is true. And that's OK. Failure to change with the times and to learn from scientific advancements and social improvements is a conservative trait.
You are accurate, but it begs the question: Is not changing your opinions with time and new info a respectable way to live your life? Will you be on the right side of history? Who knows? But I feel like giving people more options is more often better than the alternative.

Literally lolled at this. This post is in response to a "far right" Elon Musk who owns the first company to ever fire a rocket into space, retrieve and reuse it. I'm sure he's just taking credit for all the bleeding heart liberal geniuses working under him.

🥱 Wow way to load your rebuttal to make yourself seem so erudite and above it all. The reality is that a ton of the "new info" turns out to be proven false or even to be outright lies. The reality is that you should be incredibly suspicious of "new info" because chances are it hasn't been properly vetted and could be driven by an agenda similar to how companies fund research to prove their desired conclusions.
Hey I was trying to say your point was valid but I guess you'd rather be told to go fuck yourself? /shrug
Be honest. You were shitting on conservatives not agreeing with me.
maybe we should all ask our ancestors what they think about our society. you know 80 years ago people wouldn't be so keen on integration so much, maybe we should give this whole "having black people freely move around" a second thought, what do you think?
also you're massively misunderstanding the whole political spectrum but i don't have the energy. I'll just suffice to say liberals are not and have never been left wing. left has gained some traction in recent years but that's not about liberals. also for every inch the democrats have moved to the left, republicans have moved a mile to the right. the Overton window has shifted, but not to the left overall.

I understand that politics is multi-faceted however the chart I responded to is 2D.

Because that's what I'm saying 🙄 Calling someone a racist or a nazi for not hating all of human history is a low-tier cop out but go ahead and take your upvotes.
liberals are not and have never been left wing
Remember I responded to a meme chart
Also for every inch the democrats have moved to the left, republicans have moved a mile to the right
Literally just an opinion.
Most republicans prior to Reagan are more like today’s liberals. They did things like make national parks, codify civil rights, and invest in social programs. Today’s liberals are trying to do what those republicans did - save natural lands, implement social programs, and enhance rights for people.
That said, just because a liberal does some things a conservative might approve of doesn’t make them a Republican, nor would the inverse be true.
Ah remember the days when you could be left and still donate to an immigrant hating, sexist and racist billionaire? Those were the good days.
You know what? I'm gonna left even harder.
Maybe this will make people finally stop using the site for good. But I doubt it.
Who wants to see a child rapist every time you go to their site?
I'm surprised Twitter is still running. How many engineers do they have?
Maybe those engineers should go rogue and just.. not do this. But no, probably the ones left are jerks who support this, or people with visa worries.
Maybe someone will push Musk in front of a bus though.
How to get every business to leave your platform in one simple step.
Idk I thought they would have already left a long time ago but they are still there
I'd say this is a great time for even more advertisers to abandon that platform, but really anyone who would care about this should have left a long time ago.
