Do Republicans trip?
    #28207694 - 02/28/23 05:46 AM (10 months, 23 days ago)

Most of the people I know who indulge in magic mushrooms are basically of the hippie persuasion. Conservatives don't trip. Or so it would seem.

I have a friend who is a staunch conservative, but more moderate than most. She is curious, but I'm concerned about what might happen if she takes a dose that is too large.

Does anyone have experience with people who voted for Trump tripping?

I'm serious. If anyone would benefit from psychedelics, it's those folks. They need a shaking of the snow globe, something that will open their minds. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks.

When I was a kid I'd drop acid with my right wing friends and have a blast shooting old cars and stuff (I do not endorse doing this btw) and we never gave a shit about politics. I don't like tripping much anymore and definitely not around a lot of people because there's always someone who wilds out from the fear and goes on some stupid fucking right wing conspiracy rant. They do trip. I'm not going to generalize and say you shouldn't trip with them. But stay away from tripping with conspiracy nutters, it'll fuck up your trip.

more conservatives enjoy tripping than i ever thought possible. the left doesnt have the psychedelic monopoly anymore.

something about the claim to be only using resources near your/being self sufficient ect.. really hits a control/comfort check box for them:shrug:

spend time on shroomery and youll see what i mean. some of the most brilliant minds ive encountered here have been by my definition, politically insane .but hey.. opinions ya kno?

It's because they are pissed from being closeted  because shrooms turn you gay.

Joe Rogan comes to mind. One may be tempted to think that a psychedelic experience would shake rigid ways of thinking but I think they can also reaffirm beliefs in conspiracies. My opinion as well.

Agree one hundred percent on all of that. I still have friends who are right wing nuts and I love them to death but just can't get down with their bullshit.

And just to make it equal I used to hang with this dude from Cuba who was literally a communist (not the loose definition the right like to apply), he was a pseudo spiritual type and total alpha male guy and he would big the fuck out and start knocking waters out of people's hands because of fluoride. I can stand to be around more of my conservative friends than that guy especially when tripping, any day.

Of course Republicans trip.

Watching Fox News and the mind-altering mental gymnastics required to believe any of it is essentially tripping.

Two kinds of Republicans/conservatives--libertarians and social conservatives. Country club Republicans have become so small a cohort as to not count anymore. Joe Rogan is more of a libertarian, therefore, more likely to be open to psychedelic experiences. The social/evangelical/culture conservatives are the ones I'm curious about. Would psychedelics change their minds? At least open them a little?

I'm not even sure they could be tempted to try.

To quote an old tagline: "The mind is a terrible thing to waste." Unfortunately, that is true of all aspects of Fox News.

I know a libertarian who was appointed by trump to be a deputy secretary of a scandal ridden agency. He resigned under scandal, moved out west and now spends his time going to music festivals and doing massive amounts of psychedelics

It's probably 50/50, just as many republicans and conservatives trip as democrats and liberals. It is a universal constant that people like drugs.

Back in the 60s, the acid test stopped in a couple of very conservative places, and they were absolutely flooded with people.

Rick Perry, former governor of Texas and former Energy Secretary has invested in, or is interested in mushrooms. Not the sharpest tool, but a bit of a surprise. Libertarians are at least not likely to raise a ruckus from people doing their own thing, unlike the culture warriors who are worried about people having open minds, which would clearly be a danger to their beliefs.

50/50? I'm shocked that you suggest that. The majority of conservatives, evangelicals, do not drink alcohol. If you have watched videos online of psychedelic rituals, therapy or events, there are no indications that they are catering to anything but us old hippies. I'm all for hippie shit, but this will not ever reach even a handful of Church Ladies.

As for the acid trip being flooded with people, the county where I live is only one-third registered Democrats, but that would be enough for flood a bus. With only Democrats.

Gotta call BS on this one, man.

Oh, there's plenty of people that claim to be libertarian, but repeated polling of the population has shown that the socially liberal economically right wing quadrant of the political compass is notably empty when you plot libertarians on the chart. Because libertarians in the US are just Republicans that like to smoke weed, and they are all socially authoritarian.

This post is weird to me.
I dont like or dislike republicans.
If they tripped that makes them acceptable to you? If they dont it is a reason to dislike?
People are entitled to their own opinons.
It would be beneficial if we got back to that point.
I hate that politics are dividing people.
Have I been offended by some things? Yes, but then I check myself. It is not a personal attack on me.
It is and it isnt.
To dislike an entire party or dislike people without knowing them.
I dont want to be that way.
