I said "You’re utterly incapable of even considering people who disagree with you as fully human." What I meant is that you see them as "actively proud of being gullible, stupid, victims to their celebrities," which portrays them as less than fully human. You are viewing them as caricatures of people, not as people.
Conservative ideology emphasizes the preservation of traditional institutions, values, and practices, advocating for a cautious approach to change. It values individual responsibility, limited government intervention, free-market economics, and the protection of personal freedoms. Conservatives often stress the importance of maintaining social order, national security, and a strong sense of community and cultural heritage. They believe that established traditions and institutions are time-tested and should be upheld to ensure societal stability and continuity.
Any contradictions are likely explained by a liberal's misunderstanding of the concept of personal freedoms, which is best understood as the freedom to act within the bounds of moral behavior. Because conservatives value sanctity and liberals do not (see Haidt), liberals are often confused why conservatives can claim to value freedom while seeking to repress sacrilegious activities.
When you have to declare premature victory, you are only making it obvious you can't defend yourself.
