They are just different. There are certain things that need key lines, and certain things that need Persian limes.

Try making a proper mai tai with key lime, it is not great.

Try making a key lime pie with Persian lime.. just not the same.

Source: plenty of citrus trees on my property, go through a couple pounds of limes a week.

You're right.. I'm probably to stupid to understand the difference between racism and nuanced political debate.

Actual racism is pretty easy to spot mate. As is ignorance, and blind adherence to a party that invites and welcomes racists

Before this I lived in Arkansas. More of the same. Before that was Vancouver, Washington, more of the same.

Are all cons bad people? Nope. Does it pull in a massive swath of racist garbage human beings? Yup. and if you're still a conservative after Trump and all that has happened... well, good luck getting me or anyone to belive you're not on the same side as the bad ones at this stage.

I live in rural Florida... in a county that voted over 75% conservative. I have 8 DeSantis and Trump flags between my 3 neighbors houses. And over a dozen on my block of 8 houses. I am literally in the epicenter of right wing community.

I did, just yesterday. she was worried that the blacks (used a far worse term) were going to come and rape her and would only accept a white electrician in her home.

This was a new one for me, but certainly in the same lane as a large proportion of how conversations seem to go down here in conservative-ville USA.

You're correct. Some are anti black, anti brown, anti woman, anti immigrant, anti LGBT. But let's be honest here, the majority are at least "anti-one of those things".
