I don’t believe we have a single arrest made to someone for not having enrolled in health insurance

I also don’t believe any person went to jail for choosing between feeding their toddler and not delaying payment owed to IRS

I also see no mandate on vaccines

I also am yet to see any arrest made for forgetting to wear a mask


I would say on the other hand, Conservative enforcement can be quite more harsh. Anti-Fed state laws such as 3 felonies and your third felony isn’t very extreme but it’s strike 3 you get life in state prison

Kentucky not allowing non-Cash bail which forces lower income alleged suspects who have not faced due process to be unable to make bail.

Florida’s law restricting mai voting

Extreme punishing laws for minor offenses like smoking marijuana or drinking under 21

Feds are either wildly incompetent or nefarious masterminds seeking control of the whole population depending on the spin of the day.

Big govt also provides security for big AND small businesses to flourish
So I don’t understand the logic of some people who don’t want regulation and taxes but at the same time want to live in a society where every liberty that they have is protected by taxpayer money

Among the many many things your post suggests you need an education on, let's start here.

Or, conservatives are just confused. After all, when was the last time we heard those of the 'less government spending' mantra deny a request for increasing an already bloated defense budget? Do they not understand the military is part of the government or is 'less government spending' just an empty thought?

OP: Why are Conservatives so fearful ...

Long story short answer: Conservatives often consider themselves to be 'Persecuted Victims' or, even more bizarrely, as 'simultaneously being a victim and a hero'. Sheeesh, talk about conflicted

Link to Conspiracy Theory Handbook here:

https://www.climatechangecommunicati...ryHandbook.pdf

From the short 12 page doc:

Quote:
Conspiracy theories attempt to explain events as the secretive plots of powerful people.

While conspiracy theories are not typically supported by evidence, this doesn’t stop them from blossoming.

Conspiracy theories damage society in a number of ways. To help minimise these harmful effects, The Conspiracy Theory Handbook explains why conspiracy theories are so popular, how to identify the traits of conspiratorial thinking, and what are effective response strategies.

... There are seven traits of conspiratorial thinking 29 ...

... Persecuted victim

Conspiracy theorists perceive and present themselves as the victim of organized persecution.29 At the same time, they see themselves as brave antagonists taking on the villainous conspirators. Conspiratorial thinking involves a self-perception of simultaneously being a victim and a hero.

Sounds like you have cognitive dissonance. If you dont know what that is, look it up & be informed.


This is hilarious when its the liberal agenda to find a dumb way to play the victim so they can push a racist narrative.
