has denying rights to a group of people every been a good idea? seems like no. it's just the party of the scared and fearful.
I do think we need checks on govt. spending, but the conservative social issues always seem historically wrong.
has the right wing ever been right about anything?

There's an apocryphal joke about a Chinese diplomat being asked what he thought of the French Revolution. His response: "too early to tell". It's a riff on the Chinese supposedly thinking in terms of thousands of years.
Women, blacks, and LGBT are already proving unworthy of their "rights". Look around.

Of course the social conservative issues are wrong. But the GOP knows that's the best way to Stoke fear and loathing amongst their uneducated base.
At this point, though, you're considered a social conservative in America if you oppose training young children how to have a/n/a/l s/e/x in public schools. A large majority of the public are now considered "social conservatives" by the terms Democrats have set to define progress and equity.
we need to send them right wingers to c0ncentration-camps.
Ah, irony.

Look at the explosion of STD's in the past 25 years under a "liberal" system. Eventually the pendulum will swing the other way.Left vs. right also has almost nothing to do with this. During the Cold War, the communist bloc were far more restrictive toward homosexuality than the capitalist bloc.
Defining "left vs right" as being about "denying rights to a group of people" really shows that you've never taken a polisci course in your life, even at undergrad level, and that you get all your poor understanding of politics from s/h/i/t-tier cable news media.
Also, you're taking for granted that certain "groups" like homosexuals are somehow natural formations rather than recent social constructs. If any behavior practiced by a collective would mean they constitute a sociopolitical "group," then we would need to define things like smoking cigarettes, being addicted to videogames, or being morbidly obese as bases for "political identities" as well. -

"At this point" follows decades of assault on reason. Conservatives have blocked legitimate, health-based s/e/x education in red states for many years. They have also blocked access to contraception with nonsensical reasoning ("corporations are people"). And we know what happened to Roe.
"At this point" a majority of Americans op/pose each of these conservative efforts. This is plainly obvious when democracy is conducted on a level playing field that isn't skewed by ger/rymandering and voter roll purges and the cor/rupt electoral college that Republicans are working to undermine even further, by allowing state legislatures to nul/lify outcomes.
"At this point" conservatives are left with the incitement of low-level moral panics and outright sedition to cling to power. The "a/n/a/l s/e/x for children" thing is ludicrous, but keep on fanning those flames. You'll have a pitchfork mob willing to storm the pizza parlor in no time.

Don't think so. It is by definition against progress. I think Republicans could offer value if they actually were for smaller government, but that is not true at all. The modern GOP is culture war loons that only care about winning and getting rich in office. Not solving problems.

So far from anecdotal experience I have two criteria for "music": Exposure to strong and authentic tradition at young age, and experience with severe societal upheaval at young age(like Doktor Hayek himself).
So the vapid coddled Karen who makes up the majority of the liberal movement has no chance of ever hearing this music.

Slow down cowboy. I wasn't talking about the dance quote.
I was talking about the part about women and rights.
Go google it and get back to me.

Go google it and get back to me.That statement wasn't only about women. You are trying to dodge your L. Lack of honor is another thing which separates liberals from conservatives.

LOL! If I lacked honor it wouldn't be as bad as your lack of knowledge.
Nietzsche's critique of women and women's rights has been butchered and and used by conservatives.
If you actually read Nietzsche instead of spouting off about him you'd know this.
Reading and understanding is hard work, and obviously not one of your strengths. So, go to google and let it do the hard work that you're not cut out to do.
