This is stupid, and so is the question about why calling someone a socialist is a smear. Socialists, commies and liberals are some of my favorite targets (or smears!). Just remember, history has shown time and time again that their kind will try to kill our kind when they get a chance.
Honestly, some good reasons to support conservatives aren't because they'll bring chaos--they'll bring heightened fascism before they let that happen--but because they give us money from the IRS for seemingly no reason, make great country singers, and somehow still manage to oversee increases in our foodstamps! Fuck yeah. That's something to get behind!
