I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

It’s possible to economically liberal and socially conservative. Or the other way round.
Socially conservative just means being racist, and homophobic
Or the other way round. Socially liberally and economically conservative. The point is that you can average to moderate/centre.
This whole fascination with left and right politics is why America is so fucked.
Yeah, all those leftists in power, ruining the country.
Economically conservative isn’t even what the right does though. Being a “conservative” is 100% defined as being anti-woke and a culture warrior.
I think that’s the extreme ideas of each other we have in our heads. Someone can be a liberal with christian values and consider themselves conservatives. They can practice tolerance and respect differences among people.
Conservatives don’t have spaces to chat online that aren’t full of bigots or people who automatically reject their values. I think these conservatives could be our ally, but they need their own spaces to talk.
