I just like to see the lemmings in action.

But, since you asked nicely, I'll rephrase it as a conservative would. As I think someone should believe what feels right to them, but at least understand the mind and motivations of your opposition, otherwise you will fail in your goals. That's something not one of the 10 downvoters and 5 commenters have been able to do.

The far left seeks to eradicate the fundamental principles of individual initiative and free enterprise in favor of a collectivist agenda, they're in favor of legalization of all drugs and the murder of children and don't understand that a functioning society is a fragile house of cards. They think that children growing up without one or both parents is perfectly fine, and the child will in turn be a well-adjusted adult, regardless. They want to open the borders to let every spy, murderer, and rapist into their neighborhood. The far right aims to preserve traditional values and defend against the erosion of societal norms by those advocating for radical change.

Internet proselytization is this generations' version of Vietnam-era I’d Love to Change the World.

I'd love to change the world

But I don't know what to do

So I'll leave it up to you.

I get it. The state of the world right now is a sad mess. But if you're going to fight a war you can win, you must first understand the basics.

You clearly don't understand the beliefs and motives of your political opponents.

You lost me at

Doesn't matter, because in this thought experiment you're not the conservative who believes abortion is murder.

Good luck with your ~~sports team ideological shitposts~~ political memes, I guess.
