Like I get what a Democrat and Republican is. They are like the two political parties in right?

Then what is a liberal? and what is a conservative? how do those two fit in with politics

and what is this "right wing" stuff.

I really don't understand.

Democrats are Liberals and the Left Wing, Republicans are Conservative and the Right Wing.

Obviously there's more political parties though, and stuff like that.
You choose which side based on your beliefs.

If the terms on the internet weren't so complicated, then I wouldn't have wasted my time posting this on the forum


Conservative- "An aversion to rapid change; a belief that tradition and prevailing social norms often contain within them handed down wisdom; and mistrust of attempts to remake society so that it conforms to an abstract account of what would be just or efficient."

and like what does that have to do with politics, I can't seem to find how this and politics are related when I look it up on the internet

That's why I'm asking for someone here to explain it

Wait so overall Democrats are better right? I mean if they are liberal then it means that they are opened to more opinions and are more accepting of people with different beliefs?

:/

Conservatives (or republicans) don't want things to change. They want dru(g)s to stay illegal, they want guns to stay legal, they want g(r)ay marriage to be illegal.
stuff like that. They believe people should have complete control over these things.

Liberals (or democrats) want change, and believe the people should be able to choose what they want.

Obviously, this has to do with politics because the person who is elected is going to be part of one of these parties, and their views and beliefs are going to affect laws and shinz.

But theoretically it should be the highest, if it worked.

Which it can't.

Liberals believe in change while conservatives believe in tradition. They fit into politics because the liberals want to change policies while conservatives want to keep them. Usually this deals with LGBT marriage and reproductive rights. Democrats tend to be liberal while Republicans tend to be conservative.

Right wing is another term for conservatives that are crazy, often bordering neo-N4z1. They're a minority among conservatives, fortunately. There is an opposite to this as well. Left wing often refers to the crazy liberals. I have trouble describing this one, since it can come in many forms. Both are often used disparagingly against people who may not even be that extreme.

Respect the science!

Sounds as if the republican party is just plain up horrible in every aspect, I don't think that party shouldn't even exist imo

Which party does trump and hillary represent?
