Seems like most conservatives I’ve met are decent apolotical people tricked by news and nice words like community and freedom but libertarians think they’ve uncovered some great secret about capitalism which can be annoying
Everyone is engaged in politics if you wanna get semantic but they’re just people who go to work n do normal american things idk. No clue about foreign conservitards but that’s what my personal experience with conservatives in the us
Same here. Conservatives might watch the news or read a paper, so they have terrible reactionary views. But they tend to think all politicians are as bad as each other and may not even bother voting. The think politics is what happens in the legislature and the local governments.
With careful discussion, it’s rare to come across someone who doesn’t agree on the basics with socialists, such as being against: racism, war, price-gouging, favouring shareholders over consumers, pollution (regardless of their views on climate change – no one wants to take their kids or grandkids to feed radioactive ducks in the local pond). And being for: good education, workers controlling their working environment, good healthcare, infrastructure projects, good wages. Etc, etc.
The sticking point is convincing them that they’re really a communist, and getting them to accept that certain things will happen in capitalism and that other things can only happen under socialism.

What do you mean apolitical they are engaged in politics
They may hold conservative views bcs of media hegemony, but they at the core don’t care who’s on the seat of power
