there’s a difference between being a conservative and being a republican. you can be one without the other. not everyone is aligned to the republican party, and not everyone in the republican party is fascist. this shit is so old by now.
If you date a conservative and try to justify it I don’t respect you, the idea that politics is some sacred identity category that you have to feel bad about not liking people for is stupid especially when the political views in question are fascist
