I’m pretty chill and down to earth, feel like there’s a lot of hate towards us.

    Gods, if I wanted to be at an AMA where the host refuses to answer questions, I’d re-read the Woody Harrelson one on Reddit.

    How do you reconcile current conservative approaches to the poor (reducing/removing any benefits, sending unhoused people on busses to other States, etc.) with the teachings of Jesus in the testament? There is a clear disconnect between these two sets of ideals.

    How do you feel about women making decisions about their own reproductive health?

    If you don’t think women should be allowed to have abortions, how do you reconcile that with the goal of “not ramming your religion down other people’s throats”?

    If you do think women should be allowed to have abortions, are you really a Christian conservative?

    Posting history of OP clearly shows them to be a troll who gets off on creating posts with controversial headlines. Please stop feeding it (and also please stop believing everything you read on the internet).

    How can you be comfortable identifying as a conservative Christian, seeing what conservative Christians do to LGBTQ+ people?

    OP, are you and PrettyBlackDress the same person?

    Assuming so, from what you’ve said in this thread, it seems from what you’ve said that you’re at least pro-choice, pro-lgbtq+, and pro-separation-of-church-and-state.

    So, my question is, "in what sense exactly are you “conservative”?

    Can you elaborate on the ways in which you are “conservative?” That’s a broad term that means different things to different people and in different contexts.

    Financially conservative: you avoid debt and speculative investments? Religiously conservative: you favor old-fashioned Latin rite Catholicism rather than post-Vatican II Catholicism or more modern Protestant traditions? Socially conservative: you support strict criminal punishments, heavy restrictions on booze/weed/gambling, and censorship of foul language or violence in media? Or maybe you don’t fall neatly into any of those “conservative” stereotypes?

      Ah you beat me to it and worded it better. Op has to be financially and religious conservative based on their responses.

    closeted liberal, seems to be the consensus opinion. there’s a lot of social pressure to adopt an identity even if it doesn’t reflect your actual values.

    How do you justify enabling the worst impulses of Conservatives?

    Does fitting in with the wives of your husbands work friends get tiring?

    Does it get tiring making excuses for the transphobia of the people you like hanging out with?

    How bad are the fleas from the dogs you lay down with?

    Edit: He said AMA and there aren’t that many comments. Why didn’t he respond?
