    Conservatism is a vile plague of deception, oppression and death. It always has been.

    Teach your children why it is inappropriate to do business with or keep relationships with conservatives. Speak openly about the deadly nature of conservatism. It is a hate-based lifestyle and should be openly treated as such.

        It solves everything. Teaching children to think critically solves everything. Critical thinking is at odds with a conservative mindset.

        The natural evolution of an educated child engaging in critical thinking is away from selfishness, again: wholly at odds with conservatism, a deeply selfish movement.

        Not teaching your kids that conservatives are lying about wanting to keep them safe, when they actually want to control many aspects of their lives is tantamount to knowing the forest next to your home you play in is filled with rabid animals and not telling them about it. It’s bad parenting at best.

        My kids gonna make her own choices. She might choose something I disagree with but it won’t be because I didn’t teach her about right and wrong, and what goes in to determining that.

        They won’t be educated. They encourage violence against them, so they can claim persecution and victimhood, they actively harm women and minority communities. The only thing left is ostracizing and exclusion.

        That being said. If you have conservatives around you that are open to constructive discussions, by all means try to change minds. Just be aware that you can only plant seeds that might grow into into knowledge. They have to come to awareness on their own.

        Oh yes. Let’s instead try and change their hearts and minds.

        Do you happen to know how to change the mind of someone driven by fear and disgust? I unfortunately don’t.

        When you’re one of the people conservative politicians are attacking, maintaining contact with any conservatives is dangerous because you never know when they’ll rat you out.
