“Uplifting news” that once again hilights the absolutely infuriating conservative psychology of “I give absolutely zero fucks about this topic until and unless it affects me personally”.

I am glad the dude changed his ways, don’t get me wrong, but fuck me if it isn’t depressing to consider that this behavior pattern is absolute cancer, and really hard to work constructively with on a societal scale.

    Hey it's cool. I came out to my parents thinking that they would have a similar "awakening."

    They didn't.

    So, way to go this guy, you're better than my parents. admittedly low bar, but hey, good news is good news!

    Technically we all may possess this, with some topic, somewhere in our lives

    Conservatives just picked a bunch that fucking suck for others lol.

    Like, I hate mayo. I bet someone really skilled could change my mind, but I'm not gonna fucking try. Fuck Mayo

    I agree, but I think it's more than just not liking something. There's an active component to it, like if through your hatred of mayo you were trying to ban its use on sandwiches and in sauces.

    conservatives on average have a higher disgust response and think themselves more exceptional than others.

    I would say they do this more than non-conservatives because they are motivated by disgust rather than ideals or empathy.
