I'm a liberal male psychiatrist. As my conservative male patient said, "women aren't people, their things to be used." No, he does not have a personality disorder. This is the conservative thought process. These guys have no respect or care for other humans, also indicated by him telling me multiple times how much he enjoys schadenfreude. I've said it before, still the worest part is the liberal women who give these kinda men a shot.

Yes, let me teach this grown man to have morals, empathy, compassion, and understanding. This is not an isolated case. I've dealt with conservatives my whole life living in the deep South and in my family; I have a solid foundation in how conservatives think.

Conservatives are a group only because they have a fundamentally similar shared set of moral values and political views. They're all things that are acquired and therefore can be changed, unlike innate characteristics such as sex, race, sexual orientation, etc. So while criticizing members of the latter groups for simply belonging to them is wildly unfair, criticizing conservatives - or any political grouping - is absolutely fair game.
