There are conservative programmers. We just learn to keep our heads down.

I spent a few years researching all viewpoints to figure out my position. Didn't realize I would be hated for thinking for myself.

Basically every comment about the legitimacy of the ruling is immediately followed by a comment rebuking it. If you think it's the dominant opinion you may need to reflect on that.

No one brought up LGBT rights and labor politics as far as I scrolled down.

Threatening people for sharing their opinion isn't going to help your position.


They* said they* were a conservative and those are all mainstream conservative opinions, don't know what more to tell you.

And I agree there's comments on both sides but you can't claim conservatives* are be forced to keep their* heads down or whatever, much as I might wish to not see them.


Please read who you are replying to. I am not the poster of that comment and said none of those things.


>And honestly, if thinking for yourself leads you to be anti-climate action, anti-lgbt rights, anti-labor etc. you deserve whatever you get

There are basically 6 major factions in the US right now, along with the associated special interests.

The Establishment Democrats, and the Progressive Democrats

vs

The Establishment Republicans, and the Populist Republicans

and the Independents, and 3rd party which often determine elections.

On above, Establishment Republicans and Establishment Democrats have far more in common, with each other, than they do with their respective Populist and Progressive wings.

Likewise, in many areas the Populist Republicans and Progressive Democrats have a great deal in common too.

Please don't oversimplify this.


Conservatives spend a lot more time and do a lot more research, yet are vilified for coming to a conclusion on our own. There's no major media informing us, nor are there any pundits to who we can turn to.
