Progressives say, “We live in a society, so let’s not harm each other.” Conservatives say, “Do what I want, not what you want, or society will crumble.” Take a look at all the morality laws, and try to find even two where the ultimate result isn’t punishment for daring to live in a manner they don’t agree with. And the overwhelming majority of those morality laws are passed by conservatives. Even libertarians complain if someone has the audacity to tax them for the roads they use, especially the ones they use indirectly.
Even when the laws are for good reasons, control is applied. Do you not see how unnecessary regulatory burden can be used as a tool for gatekeeping? As for environmental laws, it’s a bit audacious to talk about Nixon given what Trump has done in the last couple months. Who in their right mind (who isn’t profiting from the sale of coal) wants to keep coal plants that operate at a loss around, whether you believe in climate change or not?
Ok buddy. This conversation is broken. You keep asserting that I think regulation is always good. Like I’m on the side of Trump and Nixon and back doors and banning vpns or whatever the fuck else. You invented that.

No, I keep pointing out how you’re cherry-picking how conservatives are good.
