    Young(er) conservative here. If you want to open a restaurant like this, go ahead, that is your freedom. Where I draw the line is forcing these ideals upon others that don’t wish to partake.

    But heaven forbid you use BOWLS! /s

      Says the supporter of the party literally forcing its ideals upon others that don’t wish to partake, with no sense of irony whatsoever, and oddly even pride.

        Being Conservative is different than being Republican…

        Republicans just happen to share more ideals than Democrats do.

        But thanks for assuming my party…

          Lmfao, clown, not the point you think you’re making, because yeah, your democrats support the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy just about as much as your republicans do (before the libs jump at me, if you think your democrats are any less invested in the status quo, you’ve not been paying attention), so which “team” you cheer for really is irrelevant.

          But you said it yourself - you’re a conservative, conservatives exist expressly to uphold the status quo (so to oppress others), conservatives are the ones robbing people they see as subhuman of their bodily autonomy and human rights, conservatives support shit like the prison industrial complex which is basically modern slavery with some extra steps (not to mention literally slavery itself, if they could have it), conservatives are the ones trying to rig elections (in a faux democracy, I won’t even start on that because I know you’re not even listening), anyone who openly and proudly admits to being a conservative today is taking ownership of all of that and so much fucking more.

          I was going to say you can’t call yourself a thing without accepting that that has implications, but then I remembered where this exchange started and I had a little laugh to myself, and decided not to even bother, because you’re head is way too far up your own ass for any reason to break through, so I’ll just leave it at that…

      I’m curious at what point in your thought process did you think that there would be ANY possibility that they’d make going to this hypothetical restaurant mandatory?

      It’s like the drag show/drag story time thing. People go to it voluntarily but conservatives still protest and legislate against it.

      Hey, it’s ok. I was a younger conservative too until I left my parents house and met people outside of my small town and started thinking for myself.

      Then I realized all the talking points I had been fed were strawman arguments based on fear and designed to maintain control.

      But I like bowls so my judgment may be questionable /s
