I never understood the support for abortion but disdain for capital punishment.

Yes...And on the other side they would simply say, "well I never understood the anti-abortion, pro-war" position the conservatives take.
The problem is, again, having an R or a D beside you name doesn't mean you agree with all of that party's positions.
These little exercises only serve one purpose. To argue. Needlessly.
We maybe could talk about how the parties deliberately take contradictory views as their "platform" for this exact reason (to divide the people), but that gets into "conspiracy" realms. We'd have the frickin thought police in here in no time.

Yes, I know not all conservatives hold all these beliefs.
Conservative snowflakes in this thread right now: “Well, Actchualley...”
No, people are just pointing out how silly this thread is. You are painting with broad strokes and trying to force people into "well if you are conservative then you HAVE TO believe this". Which is just simplistic thinking to make your neutered brain feel at ease.

A lot of self-professed conservatives do believe them, but perhaps I should have said “Republicans” instead of conservatives.

Some of those are good but you have to be careful of getting capitalism mixed with what we have today chrony capitalism where it's political influences that win out over true competition.

Love the specifics. "A lot...buhleeeeeveee meeeee!!!!!"
How about just telling us the truth, "these are beliefs i was told that conservatives have. I don't know if it's true, but my social bubble has told me these are true."

It's really weird, though. I don't see this many people calling other threads stupid that do this with liberals?

Where did I say that? Nowhere. I’m betting you drive your husband insane with that sort of logic.

Well, i don't go looking to get offended by every thread out there so i'll leave you to report them. But, if you believe that everyone falls into a category of "every X person believes Y" then yes, you are a moron.

I do it. I strive to be honest. I'll call out folks from both sides.
The reason is, because I truly believe that we should strive to find common ground rather than be at one another's throats all the time.
As conservative Trump supporters (most of us I'd guess) we should realize that at this point in time there is actually a chance we can draw good numbers of voters from the other side.
Well we aren't maximizing our potential here if we are constantly berating them.

Try your failed equivocation of your first post, genius.

You need some mass quantities of medications.
