Just because they have fought women's rights all the way including the era..... Since Reagan especially. That's the problem with the GOP-since Reagan and the propaganda machine- the giveaway to the rich and the stupid wars and corrupt bubbles and busts.….Conservatives hate women?The thread poster was not clear in that the 'people' he is among are (American and maybe foreign? trolls) conservatives. And while I have other replies in this thread hate today is a conservative value. Huh, you say, think about it for a moment, conservatives hate change, it hates progress, it hates openness. OK I admit hate is a bit harsh but conservatism is reactionary and not open or tolerant as liberal or more open minded people are. Is this just American conservatism one must ask?
Don't believe it? Do this look at images conservatives have created of our last president or Hillary Clinton. Mixed with their hatred is a deep misogyny. I won't even mention what they think of Michelle Obama. Consider their hatred of LGBTQ or whatever political correctness was or is in their minds?
Don't believe still, do this look at Trump's appeal. Mexicans were rapists, easy to hate rapists isn't it. Doesn't matter really for conservatives, difference is something to be hated. Trump is a stupid man, but he knows enough how to play the game. His base is white supremacists, racists, gun huggers, and the uneducated or should I say educated in divisive reactionary politics. The wealthy think tanks and their educational programs support the rich and keep the base looking in wrong direction. This started as far back as the New Deal. Read 'Invisible Hands' by Kim Phillips-Fein if you doubt.
Is conservative hatred consistent, of course not as the Wallace quote below notes. They claim religion and Christianity, but this is meaningless as caged children or hungry children or sick children don't count in their religion. Trump has hurt Americans and kept none of his promises, but it doesn't matter as his base has been taught well, it is socialists and progressives and liberals who kept them from their fair share. You think they'll ever wake up. See 'I Know Why Poor Whites Chant Trump...' by Jonna Ivin below.
Consider too the amorality of the republican, aka conservative party, when it comes to their words or even science. Today reality is not what the WHO or the CDC or HHS know about health or the well being of Americans, it is instead an opposition and a deadly opposition to science that has led to over two hundred thousand American deaths. Do the conservatives care? Lindsey Graham and others are soulless, moralless tools today, the party is led by hate of the other under Trump. There is a total absence of good old American 'can do' values. Imagine too another SCOTUS tool? Now they too follow. Kinda obvious if you are awake. Again see 'Injustices: The Supreme Court's History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted' by Ian Millhiser.

"Nor is kindness, in and of itself, evidence of the presence of good. I’m sure there were people who would have gladly attended or even facilitated the lynching of my ancestors just as they would have politely brought a cherry pie to a neighbor. In this country ugliness and politeness are in no way incompatible." Carvell Wallace
"Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil, but as necessity." Simone Weil
Tell you wut, after the looney, hate filled, hypocritical left gets done raping Trump's female pick for SCOTUS we can return to this conversation.
Sound good?
