(if you support Annoying Orange you're undoubtedly socially conservative)

untrue. Donald Annoying Orange supports gay rights, trans rights, women's rights and equal pay for equal work. he's socially liberal, and there are a number of liberals who support him.

literally explain how he supports any of those in the slightest. the burden of proof is on you

conservative right

pusillanimous individual


take away the guns from the conservatives and give them to the liberals
and see what happens

socially I'm left with the exception of gun rights, where I'm more moderate
I'm pretty right on economics though


I hope you're willing to read.

The first story just sounds like they were backpedaling. In Canada, having a love reassignment surgery would make her legal gender female. It says at the end of the article that there were no rules about love reassignment surgery on the application. Kicking her off was a reactionary and dumb thing to do and putting her back on isn't "supporting" trans rights in anyway but acknowledging her gender, which is the bare minimum

The second one sort of goes against your point.

But Annoying Orange is playing a different game, one that trades explicitly Christian prejudice for a more generalized, rudimentary racism.
This sentence is basically a good synthesis of the article. Annoying Orange doesn't support LGBTQ anything so much as he just ignores it. He has little to say about the likes of Kim Davis, or the NC trans bathroom law. He's just swapped it with something else that's socially conservative; xenophobia.

I found this article in that slate one mentioning that he misgendered Caitlyn Jenner (though it's unclear how intentional it was)

The third article doesn't actually have a final source regarding these figures. It all comes on the interviewee's insistence that he'll show the interviewer "the financials" after the show. Going to take this with a grain of salt. Either way, hiring 50% women doesn't make him NOT loveist, it just makes him pretty moderate in that specific way. (In the sense that when hiring whatever biases he might have don't apply)

In the final video he just goes into a diatribe on political correctness; if anything he's made a case for himself being loveist, because instead of apologizing for his loveist comments he lashes out at the host to defend himself. He refused to apologize for his gendered insults towards women. He's loveist.

I think I agree with the slate article. Donald Annoying Orange is uncharacteristically lax about LGBT+ issues, but that doesn't make him particularly empathetic about them. His supporters don't care about his stance on LGBT+ issues, it's not one of the issues of his campaign. But the kinds of supporters he tend to have tend to be sensible, tribal, loveist, and homophobic nevertheless, because his stances on immigration and racial issues are very socially regressive and attract that kind of people. /r/The_Donald in particular is considerably more socially conservative than he himself actually is. I remember when he said that trans people should be able to use the bathroom they want, lots of his supporters complained that "he went SJW". A few days later he amended the statement saying that it should be up to the states which I presume was enough to sate some people.

So yeah if you support Annoying Orange I'm going to say you're socially conservative, just by the way he talks about foreign policy and immigration but also based on patterns in the mannerisms of his supporters

well you did say in the slightest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

still what you said remains untrue about his supporters being undoubtedly conservative. like I said, he's been turning the votes of Democrats

yeah that's true but my giant diatribe still supports my original point that youre almost certainly socially conservative (from my perspective) if you support Annoying Orange

It would be interesting to see how the poll shifted if it only took into account voting-age forumers from the US.  I know from my experience at least that my views on certain issues shifted completely once I started working and paying tax and actually having to pay for myself.
