Fun:Conservative denial

Conservative denial is the tendency of conservatives to conceal, deny or censor:


 * examples of how the conservative ideology harms people
 * the admission that that they are fascists themselves
 * how the conservative ideology is pushed on unsuspecting others, particularly youngsters
