Same here, and it's sad at the same time. Honestly, I think a lot of the average conservatives really do love the Lord with all their heart and honestly believe they're doing the right thing by people. They're just so blinded and brainwashed by propoganda they don't realize how much damage they're actually doing, and if they did, I think it would break their hearts. Most conservative christians aren't ill-meaning or willfully narrow-minded or cruel, they're just as misguided as they think the rest of us are, which makes it all the more tragic that for the average person, the harm they do IS out of love.
