I'm tired of being mocked and hated because I'm a conservative woman
Drag queens are cool. Conservative women are gross. And that is what passes for journalism in 2025.

Well, you could either change your ways or get used to being tired, because when you're hateful scum, people treat you like you are.
Editorials are not journalism and should not be confused for journalism.
Conservatives should not be confused for rational, thinking people.
That's why they operate almost exclusively in editorials to the point that they think editorials are news.
Exactly, and FOX News self feeds on its own shit by cycling around in the morning with their live editorials saying this then they turn around and say some people are now saying X.
But this doesn't explain OP though.
Exactly. If someone tells me they vote R I immediately think of them having this level of logical thinking skills.
From the "fuck your feelings" party.
this shit bag site blocks VPNs with a generic access issue message, btw
before people bother trying to give them clicks
Not all VPNs. Mine works just fine. Though it's a shit site regardless of its access policies.
Try swapping servers. Mine works.
Um, that's how people should be judged, dumbass.
JFC, this entire thing reads like something out of The Onion: "boo hoo, I contain multitudes, but I adhere to hateful bullshit, why don't people tolerate meeeeee? What happened to acceptance and inclusivity?"
She’s so close to understanding that if her actions result in her unhappiness, maybe she should change her own behavior. But it’s a conservative way of thinking to stop short and blame everyone but yourself, and then project and say that’s the problem with the rest of the world, no personal accountability.
Yes… it’s almost like people are hating, mocking and scorning your conservative beliefs and not the gender you were born into.
If this is in stark contrast to what you grew up with, the problem might be your environment, not the people calling out the things you can change about yourself.
It's team sports mentality to the nth degree.
"I was born into this Dallas Cowboys way of life and you can't judge me for it."
Peak conservatism
"Respect me for my tribe not for my actions!"
"My trust fund has a republican clause."
"As a conservative woman living in Texas, I often feel like I'm living a dual reality. I'm a mom and a writer, but that's not all. I go to church, laugh with friends and wave at my neighbors while we are walking our dogs.
Not the Mexicans though, because they shouldn't be allowed to be here. Or the gays down the street trying to adopt a child, because that's an abomination. Also, poor children shouldn't be allowed to eat food, climate change is a hoax, and if you disagree with anything I say I'm going to call you woke and unamerican. Why aren't people nice to me?"
How about you stop trying to regulate who I can sleep with and marry? How about you stop trying to interject your fake sky daddy into my medical care by denying me the right to an abortion, or gender affirming healthcare if I happen to be trans? Conservative women spout nothing but hate and intolerance; they are reaping what they sow.
This is pretty much the issue right here, she just can’t see it. The core of conservatism is virile hatred, autocratic thinking, and otherism. They think that people are being mean because they go to church and are mothers. Or at least that’s what she said.
And those things mean nothing when it comes to conservatism. Trump made sure of that. Nowadays conservatism is fascism. And hating fascists isn’t wrong. But these people erase that part of their ideology so they can pretend to just be mothers and churchgoers who just can’t catch a break!
This asshole is hiding behind her womanhood, using it as cover for her awful fascist worldview. Sorry, you being a conservative woman isnt the problem. You being a fascist is, and it justifies all of the scorn, ridicule, and social isolation.
This article is just another retread of the tired right wing cannard that claims intellectualism and critical thinkers must necessarily accept bigoted and authoritarian ideologies. The fear of this criticism is what fuels the weak, captulating nature of current Democratic leadership.
No, being open minded doesn’t require one to treat all ideas equally.
Oh no, they're being judged by the content of their character instead of
the color of their skintheir genitals.Do conservatives ever just shut the fuck up?
No. They are loud and scared of everything.
Tautologically, the ones you'll hear about, don't.
Is focus my rage one the media amplifying their message tbh, that's the real problem here.
Doesn't it go both ways? I'm neither, but "2 sides" is a junk narrative causing division.
If anything, it's top vs bottom, aka wealthy elite vs us poors
Who knew that supporting fascism and circling wagons around a pedophile would have negative consequences in a society that generally frowns upon fascism and pedophilia.
Its not journalism its just facts karen 😂 Catholic too right? Cool story snowflake.
Cry me a river, dirtbags. You don't get to support restricting the freedoms of people you don't like and get a free pass.
Same as:
I'm tired of being hated just because I'm a horrible person.
I know, it's like, just because I'm a gaping asshole that shits on everyone with less power than I do, as I lie cheat and steal under the worst people in the world, that people are being mean to me.
Just shows the hypocrisy of the left, that they don't pretend to like everyone based on their gender! /s Almost too stupid of an argument to make but that is where they are.
I should care, but we got rid of DEI.
Do they? I've never heard anyone say they value all women any more than I've heard anyone say that they value all men. Progressives, in my experience, value individuals based on their moral character rather than what genitals they have.
I tore an optic nerve rolling my eyes. Even Jesus himself probably gave it a rest at mealtime.
She's probably lying anyway.
Yeah, those kids were glued to their fucking ipads.
Just looks those up. Uah right they discuss them American "religious" people do not floow those.
The whole whole article is whining about being mocked and provides nothing of value for why their views and conservatism do not deserve to be mocked. Nothing about what values they have that are laudable and popular with the masses.
Because conservate ideology is heavy on message and enpty of substance.
Zero tolerance for the intolerant. You want to be respected as a female conservative become a Democrat
Nah, intolerant dems can also pound sand. Intolerant people all around can fuck right off.
Right, zero tolerance for the intolerant.
You can only conserve so many brain cells before it backfires.
You only have so many IQ points in your life and she's saving them up until the bitter end.
I think she has a lot of Idiot Quotient points.
Classic case of if you don't use it you lose it.
Maybe if you'd stop being a vile, despicable piece of shit people would like you more.
Ahem, what's that favorite saying maga conservatives love to shout all the time? Oh yeah... "FUCK YOUR FEELINGS!" snowflake
The lack of self-awareness is truly astonishing.
DON'T FORCE ME INTO A MOLD THAT I'M ALREADY OCCUPYING OR I'LL CRY
What has Levitt accomplished?
According to her, being the youngest press secretary.
It's true — not all heroes wear capes.
Then stop being conservative?
This article is quite bad.
Try her other one.
I expected to be embarrassed and outraged by Trump. Instead, I feel lucky. | Opinion
LOL, "restoring liberty".
As usual, conservatives seem to be using the Southern definition of that word.
Also:
What fucking universe do these people even live in? What decline? We had an economy that was the envy of the world at the end of 2024.
In no way is any sitting Democrat "far left", nevermind Joe Biden. Also, "losing control of our borders", drama much?
Joe Biden took an economy in shambles from COVID and Trump’s shit decisions and turned it around and still I have to hear how he ‘did nothing’ by politically illiterate people all the time.
If you are a woman in the US and still vote conservative, you basically vote for getting chained to the kitchen.
Yes, but rich white conservative women are voting to lounge around all day making racist remarks about the maid and the chef doing a shitty job.
Until they get divorced - hubby trades her in for a new model or whatever - and then they are fuukkkkked if they were not already some nepo baby.
It seems to almost be cliche with the trad wives going all pikachu face after they are divorced.
But should conservative women be allowed to vote or even be in office? Isn't that a little progressive or DEI?
If they'd read their bibles, they are not even supposed to speak up in church. Also, they are not to rule over men.
Oh come on. Is there a word for this like Uncle Tom? Aunt what?
Stand up for your sisters or be stomped.
And for the record - I am a mom & got to stay home with some of my kids for a couple of years, love some D/s in the bedroom. I don't disagree with the lifestyle. I very strongly disagree with forcing everyone to get on board. Fuck right off with that. You do you and give everyone else the same consideration. Leave my kids alone.
Mammy, Aunt Jemima, and Aunt Thomasina are versions I've heard, but those are specifically racial. I don't think I've ever heard a specific name linked to... Gender treason?
Karen
I have never really understood people who are loud supporters of an ideology that is against their own interests.
Erika Kirk here, the happiest widow in the country, is rich first, and a woman somewhat after that.
Her interests are of the monied class, she is not against them at all, and the rules they seek to force on the poors are not applied to them in any case, they can still get abortions or medical care if pregnant. They can still dress provocatively even while they try and refuse those rights to the poors.
I mean, you're basically a walking oxymoron.
Just a regular moron and a waste of oxy(gen).
Or maybe there are more than exactly two possible political positions in the world.
Shhh - you’ll rile the US contingent.
ok, but can we mock and hate you because you lie?
What the hell is happening? Why is anybody upvoting this article from April 2025?
No no it's just a conservative part the fact that you're a woman has nothing to do with anything.
“Liberals are so mean to me just because I support taking away women’s rights!”
What a non-story, even for an opinion piece.
I’d say it’s a non story if Dems were in control, but this is VERY telling and a very important part of history - conservatives have had absolute control for years now, decades in many regions, a trifecta republican controlled state in her home of New Hampshire since 21. She should be thrilled, her life should be better every day, each day she should be happier than the last - so why isn’t she? Could it be that her political world view and personal beliefs don’t actually improve the world around her and don’t lead to happiness and fulfillment? It appears they don’t, happy people doing what they love when what they love improves the world don’t tend to bitch and moan and say they’re so sick of being mistreated and called out for their bullshit.
From my experience of being married to such a person (many years ago, gladly), nothing is ever enough to please them.
The writer of the stupid piece probably believes her life should be a series of "and everybody clapped" when she announces that she is a conservative.
Turns out, that is not how things work in general, and definitely not for holding vile views. Turns out that people have their own moral compass, and you may hear people pushing back on your disgusting worldview. Announcing you are a conservative in many scenarios is about as well-received as someone letting out a big broccoli fart on an elevator.
Also, to your point about being happy that their awful schemes are being implemented - I know of a few cons in my life that were devastated when Roe was overturned. They were hopping mad, in fact, and thought it was part of some liberal conspiracy to make cons look bad and kill turnout for the cons.
One of the key planks in their platform, achieved after about 50 years and constant fuckery with SCOTUS. They were boiling over with rage about it. You'd think they would be happy about it, but noooo.
Same for donnie getting elected in 2016. I noticed a huge uptick in simmering rage among cons I knew IRL, saw lots of viral videos where they were having meltdowns, and posters online in forums I was in seemed to have people just more angry than ever. This was a guy they adored, and he won, or at least "won". And they were just mad about it. I don't know if it's because the media, the liberals in their lives, etc...didn't do "and everybody clapped" for them? I have no idea. I think for some of them, they had people cutting them out of their lives. People finally had enough. I know of many instances in my life where someone known to have voted for donnie was cut out of social activities.
Worse still, she seems to think she should get a free pass from progressives just because she's a woman. I wonder what her opinion is on trans women.
I could easily see them parroting that stupid bullshit that "Biden couldn't even say what a woman is!"
I think you could probably make a guess based on this:
When I said 'I wonder' it was more rhetorical. I don't really have to wonder.
Here's a progressive viewpoint that'll blow that woman's mind: Women can be arseholes too.
No symapthy for cunts that drag others down by working against their own basic rights.
Oh no, I made my bed and now I have to sleep in it.
Oh no, I voted to lose my voting rights and now I can’t vote anymore.
Come on Karen, if you’re such a proud conservative why does the opinion of others you clearly consider inferior matter to you? Is it insecurity? Does little MAGA baby feel self-conscious because it’s supporting an ideology that’s wants to abolish its rights?
Cult members are always targets for scorn. So are grifters. Derision and contempt are the least that you deserve for the criminality and abuse that you support.
Aw poor baby.
We can shit on you, it's what makes us great. You can't shit on us. It's what makes you terrible.
Been going on for a long time....
Liberals: Have you tried not being a conservative?
Conservatives: Have you tried not being a woman?
Also cons: "What is a woman? Joe Biden wouldn't even define it! Also, try not being one, but actually, no, not like that, because that's part of the agenda."
Conservative or liberal, R or D, just be a decent person. Is that so hard?
There is a subset of what you typed which are mutually exclusive with 'good person'
Some ideologies are not really compatible with being a decent person.
Fiscal conservatism can at least be somewhat justified (even if I fundamentally disagree with it), but I would argue that much of social conservatism boils down to taking away people's basic human rights and personal liberty.
If only any of the fiscal conservatives were really fiscally conservative.
Just a bunch of bimbos
Um, does anyone know what year it is?
I hate conservative men and women equally. I’ll stop hating them when they stop being Nazis.
