you'd think right wing people, who are mad at left wing ppl for trying to force them into specific values under the threat of exclusion, would be careful not to try to force sexually promiscuous people into their own specific values under threat of exclusion

this isn't about following principles, this is about pretending you have principles as a cover your actual system, which is doing the exact same thing to the outgroup tribe as you complain they do to you

This is silly. If you were speaking to libertarians this criticism would make sense but you’re missing the point of disagreement otherwise. It’s about contending against the specific values the left imposes in the first place, not the notion of imposing values as normative.

It's been pointed out but you're mistaken about conservatives stated goals. Perhaps a few are lying these days to grift, but generally speaking they're open about having strict values they think everyone should live by.
