I don't think this is being fair. Why does the world seem to make fun of American conservatives as being batshit insane or other really awful things. It's just a national ideology. Why doesn't the rest of the world let it go?

America's conservatives are probably anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-climate change for a reason you know. I'd personally love to see the rest of the world turn more to the right.

But what's up?

many warmongering presidents were republicans.

american conservatives probably stick out like a sore thumb just from being as numerous as they are.

They seem uninformed and out of touch with reality. They seem to have a poor understanding of cause and effect, like George W. Bush who thought Iraqis would welcome an invasion.

People who don't have atomic weapons worry when people who do start believing their own propaganda.

Although I understand those concerns and I admit that Republicans have a lot of flaws

They seem to hate so much. That's my impression, anyway but I am thousands of miles away.

I fixed the thread-title. The main types of Americans that are despised are Liberals.

Talking about incredibly naïve and arrogant self-proclaimed Americans who seem to think that they definitely know absolutely everything that there is to know about everything, when in reality, they actually know jack s**t about anything. This whole phenomenon can be seen when one "questions" the United States Government.

The reactions are "emotional" and indicate severe "indoctrination" amongst United States Citizens (cult-status). Listen to some talks/interviews/documentaries/etc., regarding the intentional dumbing down or indoctrination of America, such as perhaps from figure-heads like Ben Shapiro. Mr. Shapiro explains things in more in-depth detail.

People hate Americans.

They love our money; but they hate us.

That's the reality.

What, you want people to love you for your money? That's not a healthy way to approach a relationship :wink:

American conservatives have a tendency to be reactionary, rather than proactive.

They have a tendency to be isolationalist, rather than global in world-view.

Some tend to want to infuse religion into the political debate, even when the Founding Fathers wanted a strict separation of church and state.

I wouldn't say hate really, but they do seem to have some rather laughable positions. Look at shows like The Simpsons or the Daily Show and they all make fun of them so easily, also about liberals sometimes, but by far not that much.
There's no such shows which are conservative and making mostly fun the other way round, or are there? I wouldn't know of any at least.

The world appreciates American liberals more than conservatives, since liberals believe in science and don't go to war unless absolutely necessary. Conservatives want to outlaw certain rights that seem settled to European nations, such as gay rights, abortion rights, and civil rights such as the right of minorities to vote.

The world sees US politics thru the lens of our biased media.

They make the assumption that Republicans are warmongers and are naturally biased to the more rhetorically socialist(like many of the so called socialist and labor parties abroad)

basically ignorance, they do not understand US politics and only get information from the most biased sources

It's not true that the entire world hates conservatives in the US, it's more just Europe and South America

others actually prefer Republican administrations

Americans are the ones who despise liberals because for one thing, they view liberalism as a threat to the social order and see liberals are disloyal. Nationalism and group identity are what rightwingers value the most and the only principles they actually live up to. They whine about the government whenever a democrat is in the white house but I noticed that anti-government nonsense pretty much disappeared in the 2000s when one of their own was president.

We get Fox News in Canada, and that's known for having a major conservative bias. If it's anything like CNN, then it's exactly the same as the American version, and not some special Canadianized version. From what I've seen of it, this is the case.

Yes, you get our corporate news. FNC is as biased as anyone.
