So when did wanting a normal life become a conservative thing?

[GloryofGreece]

Someone said to me that having a complete family and thinking for ones self instead of having information spoon fed to you like the media and schools are doing, is a conservative viewpoint.

They said that it’s not best for everyone to think that way either.

Needless to say I was slightly taken aback when they said this to me.

Since when did these ideals become a conservative “Republican” talking point?

This person actually said, "thinking for one self is a conservative value"? In other words he/she implied that critical thinking is a political value... I don't believe you.

When they said they can't board the conservative bandwagon, you tell me.

Fuck if I remember, and for me that goes back over 40 years now.

When was the last time the Left promoted a traditional family lifestyle ?

When was the last time that anyone did, except religious groups?

This thread is about feelz, so we shall argue about feelz.

No this topic isn't about feelz, this topic is about WTF happened to people thinking a family unit, and thinking for yourself if a conservative thing,

Easy answer would be that humans need to normalize their environment. Abuse victims convince themselves it's normal, people wrongly imprisoned convince themselves it was a good thing, drug addicts believe they're fine.

Nobody is actively against family units, or critical thinking.

No? Then why was I told that my ideas were conservative in nature, and not everyone agrees with them? Seriously... this just seems like to me that the Democrat party just wants to play the victim card for as long and hard as possible.

Rather than extrapolating to the entire political process, perhaps you could give us the actual conversation, in context?
