Conservatives Need Safe Spaces Too!
Montgomery County Republicans ^ | November 5, 2019 | Sharon Begosh

Posted on 11/05/2019 9:05:23 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

About 15 years ago, I started noticing a change in the world around me. It started out very subtly: a movie with an obvious liberal slant – the media, schools, government and even churches pushing social justice themes whenever they could slip them in without ruffling too many feathers. But this insidious march toward an unremitting takeover of our social fabric and American culture was never obstructed or even mildly opposed.

As with most things in life, the reasons for the success of this situation were multi-faceted. Conservatives by nature are respectful of individuality and others’ opinions. We are the true advocates of “coexist.” Therefore, even after this gradual takeover had taken root, we didn’t feel it was our place to marginalize their personal expression. Also, since the newly emerging culture started interpreting anything that could even be marginally critical of minorities as racist, it slowly became the law of the land. This put an almost total halt to any resistance to the takeover of our culture.

Now fast forward to the present.

Today, I realize there is virtually no safe place for me to go where my convictions, beliefs and guiding principles are not publicly assailed and where there is an unspoken dare to oppose my beliefs. I no longer go to movies, as I’ve found them all to be a platform for the promotion of some liberal agenda, where white conservatives will be the butt of every joke and the evil presence that needs to be eradicated.

I “lived” in monkey county , md, for 30+ years before escaping to a very conservative area of the country. Maryland is THE Freak state. It is hopeless there. Escape while you are still allowed to leave. Free at last...thank God...free at last!!! Life is too short to be surrounded by LIB lunatics who are always angry and intrusive.

They already have safe spaces picked out for us. They’re about 8x 2-1/2 or so and roughly 6 feet deep.

I lived in Monkey County ‘84-’95, then Fairfax County ‘95-’99. Only God himself knows how much further down it’s circled the bowl and curled around the ol’ U-pipe.........

The cost to put me there will be quite high.

And this is why we are in retreat: the GOP proclaims defeat as the inevitable state of life, instead of going on offense.

Remember what the 9th circle of Hell was for in Dante's Inferno.

Here’s what my safe space looks like: everyone speaks honestly and openly about ideas with respect for others and no one gets offended.

There are other safe spaces as well with showerheads protruding from the walls and gas-fired ovens in the basement.
