New Hampshire Democratic Rep. Jonah Orion Wheeler is again drawing attention for his views on transgender issues after calling “gender ideology” an “illiberal, backwards way of thinking” in a new video. The remarks follow Wheeler’s previous support for legislation restricting transgender rights, adding another chapter to a record that has repeatedly put him at odds with LGBTQ+ advocates and fellow Democrats.
Right. Conservatism is about hierarchy. Hierarchy is good and natural. You get shit on by your betters, and you get to shit on your lessers. Trying to change that is horrifying. It’s going to mess up the world! And if hierarchy isn’t good and natural, then all the suffering I experienced was unjust, and all the cruelty I inflicted was mere cruelty. Can’t have that. I’m a good person who deserves my lot in life. Even if it’s not royalty. There have to be royals.
It’s a shit world view built on cruelty and cowardice.
