That’s because conservatives are very individualistic for whatever reason. Instead of seeing systemic issues they see bad apples.

Because conservatism inherently relies on fear of change, simple thinking, and avoiding the discomfort of questioning the status quo at all costs. You want to believe that everything is hunky-dory the way it is, and avoid thinking too hard about all the ways it might not be.

It’s uncomfortable to think that the system you’re participating in and benefitting from might be the cause of it. No one ever wants to think they’re the bad guy. It’s the reason they hate stuff like CRT so much, because it’s an incredibly uncomfortable thought to imagine that everything they’ve known and tried to maintain is actually a complete nightmare and they’ve been part of it in some way.

The world is much scarier when you see the pain and suffering so many experience, and it’s through no fault of their own. No matter what they do or didn’t do, some people just get dealt a shit hand, either by chance, or because of systemic issues. It’s much easier to say “The system I believe in is totally fine and just, it’s their fault they haven’t been able to reach the same place I have”.

Ah, I guess I meant that you’re getting 2 of the 3 phases, which is 208V phase-to-phase, or 120V phase to neutral.

Residential service is a single split 240v phase off of a 480V 3-phase line, while something like an apartment is 2 phase 208Y, with a single phase is 120V.

By far one of my favorite bumper stickers

Getting rid of Title IX protections is going to make surviving pretty fucking hard if you wind up with a bigoted manager who decides to fire you… Or just companies decide they don’t want to hire trans people at all.
