trying to buy the election

Conservative economically only, so not conservative at all

conservatives don't tend to make large drinks illegal afaik

what would that be then

pretentious asshole

>large

Anything over 16 ounces

that bans the 2 dollar soda bottles in gas stations because those are 16.9

Disincentivizing sodas through deregulation falls more in line with conservative, if that's the desired outcome

The moral police seem to swap parties every couple decades

Moral police as in what? Using the government to enforce morality?

Playing to a base that wants to see government regulation shape population habits

Christians wanted to see the government regulate the shit out of media for a while

It should, really

Now young liberals want to see the government restrict consumer choice

choice in what way to get fucked over the least Pog

Your ideology is toothless if you're not enforcing morality

It always backfires though Gent

Oh really

There's enforcing the wrong morality, or enforcing it in an asinine way

LGB acceptance rose, due to being ignored more than anything

But if you just decide to stand back and let be, what can you possibly stand FOR?

rather than some top-down push for equality

the number of swear words in a song, or the size of a cup at 7-11

shouldn't be "moral" issues

there's a better word for it

They are, even if they're bad ones

but when your idelogy seeks to force itself down the throats of your electorate

I wouldn't want vulgar songs broadcasted on children's tv channels

it will always end poorly

The market will shake that out though

you don't need federal protections

Oh I'm sure it never works out ever

Look at the entire history of civilization and proclaim that they were all fools for daring to enforce things

enforcing morality?

yes, throughout all of history

it's never not been foolish

It is the most inefficient way to get what you want

This isn't the natural state of man, spooky

Everyone doing what they want with impunity, even excluding murder and rape and the like, will just reduce civilization to tatters

You need to decide there are freedoms that will be restricted

That's a cop-out answer though

"everything is morality"

Explain

Trying my best to hold back on the cheap shots

If you define the protection of morals, as being broad enough to cover all interpersonal interactions then it's going to encompass everything

Maybe I'm using the term "moral" when I should be using something else

So your country discovers corn syrup, and corporations start selling cheap to the masses, then they start getting uglier and weaker and dumber, do you just stand by and let the market be

we all need to be on gents super diet

Yes, take everything to parody levels
