Like, who's going to buy art...? A lefty libcuck who prances around like a fairy?

Or someone who tills the land and feeds the nation?

People can till lands and feed the nation all the while enjoying art and not being close-minded and bigoted.

It has nothing to do with being conservative, it has everything to do with being a close-minded bigot.

The two are connected though. Conservatism (or liberalism for that matter) does not run skin deep. Whether you're a Democrat or Republican is a political choice, but whether you are a conservative or liberal is based on who you are.

This matters, because of what defines conservatives: fear and disgust. Here's a quick sampling of quotes about recent research, but you can find a lot more if you look:

political conservatives have a “negativity bias,” meaning that they are physiologically more attuned to negative (threatening, disgusting) stimuli in their environments

In other words, the conservative ideology, and especially one of its major facets—centered on a strong military, tough law enforcement, resistance to immigration, widespread availability of guns—would seem well tailored for an underlying, threat-oriented biology.

conservatives were far more likely to believe that the false hazard warnings were true.

Science! In other words there are core elements of what it means to be conservative/liberal, and they are so woven in to who people are that:

When they figured out the pattern, the lead scientist told the media, "A single disgusting image was sufficient to predict each subject's political orientation."

Now to get back to the main point ... do you see why it might not be a coincidence that a group of people who's core defining political attributes are "fear and disgust" might have more close-minded bigots?


P.S. I am not trying to say liberals are better than conservatives, or that all conservatives are bigots. Liberals have their own "psych profile" and flaws too. All I'm saying is that when it comes to close-minded bigotry, that particular flaw has a strong connection to one's conservativeness ... which really shouldn't surprise anyone, because how many Democrat KKK members do you know of?

And who are the biggest modern day racists? Black Lies Matter & Antifa, both alt-left paragons of intolerance.

[Lulz~Sect]

Really hate walking into my neighborhood studios seeing talented artists and then they open their mouths

Worst offenders are the ones that made it and selling “lifestyle” art

Your irrational lashing out with anger and fear (of organizations who want nothing more than equality for all people ... if you can even count Antifa as an "organization") exemplifies everything I just said about fear, disgust, and conservatives.

This is classic liberalism.

"Why don't republicans just be cucks like us?"

Advocating murder is not cool, pal. Your calling BLM a force for equality exposes you as an idiot.

[Nibblewitz]

The original motives of BLM were great, but the movement was hijacked by the loudest and most ignorant voices.
