So far in history, we have not seen a peaceful cure for an infestation of conservatism. But, if we work together, we might have one at hand. Conservatives are bigots and should be openly shunned, outcast and marginalized from daily life.
Conservatism is not a protected class. It is perfectly legal to fire someone for being a conservative. It is immoral to employ or keep relationships with bigots. They should be openly treated as the bigots they are and excluded from polite society. And when they act tough and demand a fight, we should absolutely give it to them.
There is no such thing as a "good conservative".
In that vein would it be legal and Constitutional to pass laws against conservatism? We can for bigotry but that's just one of their disgusting traits.
Define "against". It would not be constitutional to legislate against someone for being a member of a political party, as that would be a violation of freedoms of speech and assembly.
Even if it were legal and constitutional somehow I foresee some slight issues when it comes to enforcement and compliance.
ACAB… Also our country has a built in electoral conservative bias. This makes it so much harder to get anything done that is liberal. If Trump gets reelected this year it will not be because the majority of our country supports him. It will be because the majority of the country wants it.
