I am not interested in your conservative opinions because I already know them.

I grew up engulfed in the church, in the prolife movement, & fox news.

I grew up listening to conservative men pontificate & conservative women preach.

I already know what you're about & why.
So when I don't want to hear your conservative views on abortion, healthcare, homosexuality, literally whatever, it's because I already know them. I already know what you're going to say & why. I bought, ate & parroted that shit well into my 20's. I know your arguements inside
and out. I know the way you think bc I used to be one of you.

Becoming as liberal/left/progressive as I am was a slow, grueling, ego busting painful process. I was happier as a conservative, bc things seemed more black & white. It was simple, even comforting to paint the left
as the enemy of all that is decent & familiar; to lay the blame on marginalized populations on themselves instead of the system & society.

But I eventually saw through it all. I learned how much I'd been lied to & mislead, at least incidentally.

I realized what pure shit I'd
eaten over the years & how poisonous it had been not only to me, but ultimately everyone.

So if I blow you off for being conservative it's bc I already know you & what you stand for, more intimately than you know & it fundamentally goes against all my morals.
So please, miss me with your right wing propaganda. I already know it and I hate it.
