The primary difference is, I can throw a party, I can have my trans friends gay friends Muslim friends black friends, and Latino friends All in the same room. Then I can leave the room to go take care of something and not have to worry that any one person in the room is going to say “you people”.
To be very honest I do have some somewhat conservative friends, They mostly worry that legislation will even the playing field and all their lifelong hard work will be for nothing. Which is still a pretty shitty outlook but I can understand it. They spent 10 years of their life putting our kids through college and all of a sudden colleges free.
Every time I hear that I’m like, “So YOU made your car, home, smart phone, EVERYTHING, yourself? Without the help of any other human being? Congratulations on being so self-sufficient, clearly you don’t need money, or to see a doctor, or to hire a specialist for anything, you can do it all!”

“I had to suffer, so everyone else should too.” is NOT a valid reason to push back against progress.
Yep. Falls into the “Fuck you I got mine” category.

That’s my stance too. If I put a group of people in a room, ideally everyone works together.
Thats not a thing with conservatives. They’ll be starting fights with everyone and then blame that they’re oppressed.
