Now, before we begin, this isn't meant to slam conservatives (but it probably will in the end, let's be honest), this is just to express why I'm a liberal and a devout liberal too.
I Don't (And Never Have and Never Will) Believe Trump's Claims About "Fake News" Are Real
The news is not out trying to make Trump look bad. He really did all of the terrible things that he did (and even admitted to it) and just because your candidate did something nasty doesn't mean you can just blame the media or tell us liberals that we never do our research and we just allow the media to spoon feed us information when, in truth, conservative are the ones allowing themselves to be spoon fed information when Trump and his supporters tell you all news that tells us that he is doing bad stuff is "fake". I'm not saying that fake news doesn't exist (after all, look at many living people were reported as dead), but if there was fake news, I guarantee that it would be hard to keep up the lie since:
A. Different news stations and sources have different beliefs (whether political like Conservative, Liberal, etc. or religious like Christian, Atheist, etc).
B. There are multiple news stations and other news sources so if one news station is lying, they can and will be found out and would suffer severe consequences for their lies.
I Care About Other People
I believe very passionately in LGBT rights (more on this later) and caring for the poor and for veterans (disabled or otherwise). Conservatives, I find, only seem to get offended whenever these issues are even mentioned like there could actually be men who want to marry another man! On top of that, the conservatives also seem to believe that the poor are just lazy drug addicts who are wasting their tax dollars.
I Believe In What Jesus Taught Us
Yes, I'm a liberal Christian that believes in God, Jesus, and things like women's and LGBT rights. I'm a Christan because I believe that Jesus is the savior who died on the cross so that we can all enter Heaven if we love one another, help those less fortunate than we are, and not to judge others. Conservatives believe the complete opposite and still claim to be "Christians" when, in truth, all that they are doing is giving their fellow Christians (and conservatives) a bad name. I'm sorry that I had to talk about religion while talking about politics, but I felt it was necessary.
I Believe In The Separation of Church and State
I understand that not all U.S. Citizens are Christians (and that's one of the reasons I love this country). Conservatives assume that everyone is a Christian and that we ALL must obey Christian laws. This is why they are against things like gay marriage and abortion. They need to understand that not everyone in America is a Christian and we need to keep the Bible out of the constitution.
I'm Not Easily Offended For The Wrong Reasons
The conservatives claim that liberals are easily offended, but what I found was that we liberals are offended when someone else's feelings may be hurt because of the nasty comments by conservatives or even just that we may be not being tactful enough towards a culture to which we are not familiar. Conservatives get offended whenever someone else lives differently than they do or if someone tries to help make others feel included. If someone is gay, it should not bother you. If someone is transgender, it should not bother you. If someone is an immigrant, it should not bother you. If someone is not a Christian, it should not bother you. If a woman had an abortion, it should not bother you.
I Believe In Women's Rights
Okay conservatives, time for a shocking piece of news. Are you ready? Women have sex drives just like men. Yes, I know it probably put you in the hospital to learn this, but it's true. However, you better have the doctor get the defibrillator ready when I tell you this: Not all women want to be mothers! I apologize for giving you your second heart attack from this, but you had to learn somehow. When you are against birth control and abortion on the grounds that it "goes against God" (yet, you have no problem with men taking Viagra), you prove to be so far in the past that you believe all women are good for is the birthing machine and you make the term "conservative female" either an oxymoron or tragic irony. Also, if you deny a woman her rights to birth control and abortion, you make women not want to have sex, even in marriage so you have to resort to rape (which is of course no problem to your kind since it's always the victim's fault).
I'm Not a Hypocrite
You believe that everything should be banned except for your precious guns! You believe that women should have birth control or an emergency rape kit to prevent pregnancy yet you believe men should be allowed viagra. You claim the liberals are easily offended yet you boycott a company because they show ads with a gay couple. You want Muslims to be banned from the country on the grounds that there should no immigrates allowed in America yet you are okay with others (i.e. The Chinese (the country of which the majority of immigrants come from)) coming to America. So far, every conservative I've met has been a hypocrite of some kind. I want to think there is one out there that isn't, but I have yet to find one.
I'm Not Ignorant
I don't believe that all Muslims are evil terrorists, I don't believe that war is the best way to solve our problems, and I don't believe in "fake news". But I do believe that what a woman does with her own body is her own choice, I do believe that all are welcome in my land, and I do believe that everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect. Whenever I see a conservative expressing their beliefs, I die a little inside as I hear them say nasty things about people they've never even met just because they are from a different country, have a different religion, skin color, sexual orientation, any number of things that would make a conservative think of them as the devil. I'm a liberal because I believe in kindness, generosity, the rights of others, a better America and, one day, a better world.
You can call me a "damn snowflake" but I will wear that "insult" like a badge of honor.
