To feel angry at Tory voters?

[Dottodo]

DF has always voted Tory. He’s very anti immigration and we will never see each other’s POV.
DHs friends are all Tory voters and hate being with them as they are all racist, xenophobic & misogynistic.
Other Tory voters I know through work or extended family members are also xenophobic and casually racist.
I’ve spoken to friends about this and they agree that the Tory voters they personally know are also racist and xenophobic.
Why is this?
Me and DH lived abroad and as we've lived as ‘foreigners’, we don’t share their views.

Who do you think will elect a non-white leader first? I would say the probability is with the same party that gave us two female MPs.

I don't disagree with the premise that some Tory voters are as you've described, but I know plenty who aren't.

Even know someone who voted ukip which shocked me to my core as they're the least likely person...I can only think they were having a moment when they hit the polling station!

I think racism is the least of their bad traits 🙈

Just because the Tories are arseholes, it doesn't mean Labour aren't. They can all be racist, sexist wankers. It's not a binary choice. Except it unfortunately is politically.

Labour have lost my vote as they don't know what a woman is. They're forcing labour voters to the right with their misogynist far left politics. As a life long labour voter my next vote is Tory. At least they have the balls to stand up to woke identify politics

I can see why you think Tory voters are all racist and anti-immigration if those known to you are.....but it isn't the case for every Tory voter.

I vote Tory and I'm not those things at all. I have also lived abroad as a 'foreigner' and know what that's like, if it's relevant.

When I was younger I began voting Tory because it seemed as there was more support for the individual, for entrepreneurship, for people to become their real selves. I grew up when there was lots of unrest which seemed to be caused by unions, I was also young when Thatcher was assisting people to buy their own homes and (rightly or wrongly with hindsight) thought it was a party who encouraged the poor to get on the property ladder same as everyone else.

In later years I have voted Tory for different reasons. For instance, the whole BREXIT thing for me was nothing to do with immigration, it was because I felt that the UK should be free to determine our own course of action, our own laws and our own policies rather than being told what to do by Brussels. I know this has been argued backwards and forwards over and over as to whether this was correct or not, but it's what I believed and therefore was why I voted as I did.

Left wing kindness and tolerance in all its glory.

Errmm.. where to start with this...

You are quite bigoted to suggest that all Tory voters are the same.

Your OP doesn't seem sufficiently articulate or well thought out

Me and DH lived abroad and as we've lived as ‘foreigners’, we don’t share their views

Where have you lived? Living abroad is not the same as settling as an immigrant

I'll stand by the fact that Tory voters are selfish, bigoted, thick, or a combination of the three

You did say they are 'thick'

Although since you're unable to read I'm pretty sure you are

Why so unpleasant?

It's that famed left wing kindness and tolerance all over again.

I'll say this for Conservative voters: they appear to have the ability to disagree politely.

Nope

So Tory voters are not 'thick' then

This^ op you contradict your post..your dh is xenophobic if he is anti immigration.
But you BOTH do not share his friends views.
Yep you definitely want to start a bun fight

Why so unable to remember what you actually posted, not more than a few minutes ago?

I'll say this for Conservative voters: they appear to have the ability to disagree politely.

I think I agree. But I do think that's really because Conservatism is about mildly self-centred pragmatism. Evil Lite if you will. They know people die because of Tory policies so they're not as angry as lefties. Lefties are angry because they know they're the goodies but can't seem to win. It's frustrating. The Tories know they have rats' anuses on their helmets, they just don't care.

I'll stand by the fact that Tory voters are selfish, bigoted, thick, or a combination of the three

What you describe as selfish, bigoted or 'thick', I see as having a healthy self-preservation instinct, being able to acknowledge that sometimes bias is helpful and not having a herd mentality. All positive traits
