1. Global warming as preached is nonsense. The Extinction Clock There's some question as to natural climate cycles ongoing, but the idea that humankind is driving it with carbon or methane emissions has no factual basis, largely because the greenies keep lying and destroying data when the 'science' doesn't actually turn up their way, unless it's a digital model they control all the parameters for.Acted like crazy idiots that think evolution and global warming is a conspiracy, tried to ban abortion and condemned Harry Potter/DnD as satanic, and the Iraq War. Amongst all the tax cuts, of course, because we all know how much Americans love people who are richer than them.
Add to that the association with the Confederates they love to flaunt, and the US Conservative movement is basically its own worst enemy.
2. Evolution is nonsense. The more science develops, the more counter-factual the concept of abiogenesis, emergence of new cell structures, much less organs, and overcoming irreducible complexity are. There's a thread over in the Philosophy subforum about this if you want to discuss it further. Suffice to say, having it taught in school is a violation of both scientific prudence, and the idea that you shouldn't be teaching religion in the classroom.
3. Abortion is murder. In extreme medical conditions, it is justified because otherwise you're losing the baby and the mother. Otherwise there's no justification for it.
4. Harry Potter/DnD etc were only issues with small fringes. I come from a Christian Missionary family, I got the first two Harry Potter books as presents on my 13th birthday, and bought the third one myself when it came out shortly thereafter. My parents had no problems with it, though I knew exactly one Christian family that didn't allow it. My dad actually knew someone who, in the late 70's/early 80's did go through D&D into the occult; when I told him I was getting into it, he just told me about his experience as a cautionary tale, and had no issue with it when I told him 'yeah, most just treat it like any other fantasy fiction setting,' and has never had any issue since.
5. I'll give you the Iraq war, partially. Don't forget that a large portion of the Dems backed it too.
Basically, your problem here is 'the Conservatives are the media's whipping boy,' and you've bought into a lot of the media's lies as well.
Telling the truth is never popular with some people, and when those people get control of the media, you can expect them to punish you for it as best they're able.
