I guess I understand your feelings on this, but I tend to see more young people talking conservatively in chats. Could be skewed perceptions, though.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-06 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
IME they're different types. The majority of young "conservatives" I run into in chats tend to be MAGAtrolls that are doing it to get a rise out of people. Once in a while you get a true believer, but usually it's memes and pissing off the libruls lolz! They're loud, and aggressive, and racist, and sexist, but they're noise, lost in a sea of trolls trolling trolls.

The older folks who are tried and true conservatives tend to be the anti-vaxx QAnon Obama-hatin' racist hardcore Fox News types who sincerely believe in echo chamber Facebook news and don't believe climate change is real. While the younger ones can be just as nasty, the Facebook grandma/grandpa types who can't tell a real news source from a fake one creep me out a whole lot more. Because they're not saying any of that to troll you. They're saying it because they really, truly believe what they read on Facebook is reality and are genuinely afraid of everyone in the world who isn't straight and white and Christian don't get how you don't feel the same

I'll take dumb teen librul tears idiots over conspiracy nut Facebook uncles any day

i don't see why

if someone is being racist why does it matter to you if they "truly" believe it?

not to mention that the alt-right has been building itself on """"" irony """"" for years

(Anonymous) 2019-08-06 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
To me, yes, it matters, because one is clearly worse than the other.

They're both obviously bad. But there's a certain type of reality-denying Facebook-fanatic that only happens with real conspiracy nutters and those tend not to be your average dumb teen spouting memes in chat

On the plus side, the older Facebook uncles are, the sooner they'll die off.

Aren't you lovely. I'm tired of the wishing death on older people in case some of them don't check every box of someone's acceptable beliefs and political leanings list. Don't you have anyone over 50 in your life that you give a shit about?

I'm in my 60s, and if it's okay with you I'm going to continue to be fed up with shitheads who lack compassion and empathy.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-06 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I think more of them believe in it than you seem to think, at least in part. It's not like these kids are compassionate liberals with a prankster side who cant stop themselves from a little playful trickery calling people "N----R". Oh my! How ironic! Ho ho! Also it's sort of a 'gateway drug' to the actual extremist groups.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-06 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, just punks in mom's basement.I had a cousin like that until he got straightened out in college.

It's the old folks who can't change.
