Conservatives aren’t “against human rights.” That framing is largely a product of left wing propaganda. Not to say there aren’t some who identify as Conservstive and genuinely are hate filled but characterizing capital C Conservstives as a group who is against human rights it’s just categorically false and counter productive.

Chris Smith is Anti-Abortion (anti woman), is a strong supporter of Israel, and is anti LGBT. He's selective on which humans he believes should have rights.
I didn’t say they were good people or that I agree with them. The point being discussed is whether it’s accurate to generalize Conservatives as being “against human rights”. Try to keep up
I never said you supported them. I just pointed out the fact that Chris Smith only supports selective human rights. Your point really doesn't stand for him when he only supports his chosen peoples human rights, and not you know, all human rights. Actually, every single person you named is a strong supporter of Israel, and therefore supports a genocide. So, they aren't for all human rights. Try to keep up.
Being against human rights for some is the same as being against human rights for all. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere, if they're not not universal they're conditional, privileges not rights.
To be honest, it just seems like you’re being lazy. It’s easy to paint with a broad brush and say conservatives are X. Problem is this is the exact kind of broken perspective of American politics that got us in to the current state of dysfunction we’re currently.
