Fellow younger conservatives, how do you make friends with your own age group? (self.Conservative)

The-Wandering-Hylotl が 投稿

Alright, backstory to this post. I hold more conservative viewpoints on things. When this comes out, people around my agegroup (18), generally call me the usual slurs thrown at conservatives. This has made it a bit difficult to find friends, since everyone thinks I'm a closet racist. So, how do you guys make friends and avoid that whole debacle?

One way is to try and locate a conservative related youth group, e.g.

Worth noting that YAL was the organization started by Ron Paul so it has a libertarian bent, though unmistakably on the right side of the right-left spectrum and not to be mistaken for a Johnson-Weld Libertarian.

I'm 21 and in college. Like /u/SunnySpade, I am also known to be argumentative. The thing is, I don't start the arguments. I have liberal friends and when they say something liberal I'll join in, but only then. Don't attach politics to your identity too much, and don't allow other's political views to poison or distort your view of them. The reason there's such a liberal meltdown since the election is NBC people attach politics to the core of their identity. Make your conservative identity like 4th or 5th on your list of priorities. Other than that, just be a dude who people like to be around. Talk about sports or other stuff. Politics is exhausting, and really turns a lot of people off regardless of affiliation.

If you're talking about how you ake friends with so many young people being super die hard liberals, then I can help a bit with that. I am known as "that argumentative guy" in most of my friend groups, as I'm sure most young conservatives are (it's hard not to be when anything and everything that's being shoved in our faces is against everything we believe in). Just don't be afraid to speak your opinion, but you must make a concerted effort to make your liberal friends know that you are completely open to hearing what they have to say as long as they know after the fact you might not agree with it, and if you don't you are going to say so and why you think that why. Just be nice and make sure your politics aren't all you are known for. For instance, not to blow my own horn, I'm the guy that will drop everything to come and help if you ask for it, but I'm also the guy with no backup in me regardless of the odds I'm against (brought me a couple of nasty fights but totally worth it). I don't say this to insinuate you don't have a personality, but I know how easy it is to fall into that world of interesting politics and have legitimately nothing to talk about besides that. So basically, don't just be known as the political guy with the adversarial opinions, because while it is great to be conservative and have your own views about that, when all you are to people is a walking argument to others, they tend to walk in the other direction.

cis

This PC bullshit isn't necessary. I hate all of these stupid labels that were invented. There are men and women. None of the multi-gendered bullshit.

I think cis means straight. Not related to gender but sexual preferences.

[–]RUALUM15 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Then just say straight.

cis makes straight people sound worse for some reason

It sounds like a disease.

OP: Oh yeah, I'm a cis-gendered male.

Me: Is that an STD? Are you okay?

Cis means the same which would actually be more correctly used for gays. I think op was referring to cisgender which is often used along with transgender. Cisgender are most people where you identify as the same sex as you were born as. Transgender identify as the different sex they were born as.

Cis is the opposite of trans. Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds.
