I am being dead serious. As a conservative, what is the level of explanation you are looking for and where donyoubthink the appropriate forum is for this kind of discussion?

It is not the case that conservatives do not protest. I think it is reasonable/logical for people to protest for their rights and freedoms when things affect them. So is the crux of it just that you don't understand sometimes why there is a protest? Like you would want it spelled out?

Some people are sensitive to some views you hold, because they have been directly affected by their consequences. For some people, failing to recognize the unintended consequences of choices, is as good as making the decision to be directly harmful. Because they dont feel represented / protected

Does it disgust you because of just the blocking of the freeway? Do you think people are acting hysterical just to be disruptive? Is there a different way available for people who are upset or desperate to get better attention?

Are you in Seattle? This is what i mean by asking if it is a social media thing. I was trying to find out if you specifically had been affected by these things or if it was more things you had just seen elsewhere

3. I don't really know if that is what I would call myself. Best descriptor would maybe be pro-labor? Anti-oligarchy? I am trying to deconstruct the whole left/right thing to figure out if i can make sense of any of it. I am pretty sure a conservative would call me leftist though, regardless

2. Was a clarification on what you meant so like.. I'm not sure what you'd want to know here. I haven't had any of my property ruined or my way blocked or any of that really happen to me. I'm not sure if this is something that comes up for you a lot. Or if it's like a social media notice thing

1. I wasn't upset about the halftime show which is why I was trying to figure out what the thing was that upset people. Apparently this is a weird thing where you a conservative agree with liberals? That palestine flag guy = bad. Kinda weird. I thought both would hate it for other reasons.

This was more to judge which generation and like what you'dseen as far as the usa over the years, not a "gotcha". but if you were 18+ for Bill Clinton, that clarifies enough.

Yeah i mean that's where i am at. This wasn't exactly what i was trying to do with this post but I'm trying to stay curious

I promise I'm not a lawyer. I am looking through the things in order (or trying to, they posted weird) and i haven't gotten to the bottom yet

If you only believe in male or female, do you agree with doctors mutilating intersex children before 18yr old and assigning/forcing surgery for their "best guess", or should they wait til 18? If they have to wait til 18, what do you call a child that is neither? (Or do you think intersex isnt real?)

What part of jan 6th was the most wrong for you? The property damage? Or the pushing the cops? Or? (Im listing what i think is most likely, but list whatever is actually the thing that changed it from a good thing to a bad thing for you)

If we had to make a system for making sure that people were not judged by their skin, what would that look like to you? Like how would you go about making sure that didnt happen?

If the people who want to call him out for trolling could chill or do it on his own account while I am asking questions that would be cool. It makes it hard to follow thing

I had asked if you were white & leftist because my post was about white leftists being a bit hypocritical and musing about what it means. I was reasonably sure you were white but not leftest, but I figured I might as well ask. I wouldn't mind if you were actual antifa, just not the boogeyman version

I guess I have to ask what you think the legal right to peaceful protest means? I *think* I understand what you mean about disruption. But if a protest gets large enough, they simply take up space. I'm not sure how the "block roads" part can be solved for, while preserving the freedoms of the people

Interesting so it is the palestine flag guy. Is your disgust solely with this individual? (He went rogue and hid the flag and had to be tackled etc, he was not a planned part of show according to those in the know) and you are ok with the rest of the performance?

6. When you say "your cause" in terms of the leftist cause, what exactly does that mean to you?

(Sorry, I genuinely find this fascinating. I don't think you are leftist, but you seen to have exactly the disgust reaction I am trying to find out and figured I would see if you would respond honestly)

Oh, for science I should probably add:
3. Are you leftist?
4. Are you white?
5. Approximately how old are you? (Just go by decades, I don't need your personal info to get a jist)

Can you clarify:
1. Upset about what?
2. What is "stuff like that"?

Idk if I'm reading into it too much, I think there's also a generational thing occurring with people not liking rap or the style of rap, or not liking the diss track

I suspect some sort of respectability politics is happening with it. But I'm not sure the exact flavor

Watching otherwise left-leaning white people respond and give their critique of the halftime show is just.. something else. There's some sort of disgust reaction going on - could they simply not stomach the Palestinian flag? Or didn't understand it was a call-out and not an endorsement of pedo? Or?

Trump Says Some Treasury Notes May Not Be Real I suspect this will just end up being something Old Man Trump...

So this is new. Saying this is bad is insufficient. Treasury Securities. WTAF! This is an ongoing disaster. A massive coup!

Yeah. Trump knew to do this the night of the Super Bowl.

Every healthcare worker, doctor, nurse, etc. working at a hospital (most are nonprofits) that has student debt is enrolled in this.

Cops, prosecutors, first responders are enrolled in this.

People wait a decade for this. Wow.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
