Just what are the issues that matter most to conservatives?
Men in women’s sports? Deporting all the brown people? Starting multiple wars and assassinating foreign leaders? Taxing Americans with regressive taxes to push away our allies? Destroying NATO? Ballrooms? Arches? That pedophile’s name being smeared onto buildings? His visage on Mt. Rushmore and on coins?
The conservatives are entirely unserious people.
They are miserable and everyone else must be miserable. For Jesus’s sake. 🙃
I absolutely can’t stand it, but realistically it’s often just the appearance of “lower taxes”. I know people who DONT PAY TAXES who want lower taxes. They are stupid and I want to scream. It doesn’t matter how many articles or studies or videos you show them, they just associate republicans with lower taxes and that’s what they want. They don’t particularly care about human rights, or outcomes for citizens, just the idea of lower taxes. Capitalism has made class solidarity so hard. These people have no idea who really has aligned interests and are in a constant bubble of misinformation that they refuse to do even the slightest thing to escape from. You can spoon feed them facts and they will spit them out. It’s like trying to feed a baby, but at least one day the baby may grow up and be able to feed itself. These people are incurious rubes who are ruining the world and are often not the ones suffering most from their decisions, though to be clear, they’re often not benefiting either. Also a bunch of Christian nationalists, and fascists, and run of the mill racist, sexist reactionaries.
lol. The machine that created the monster, thinking they can control him.
If only there was some Georgian-era gothic horror story that could serve as a metaphor.
What we need is to impeach and convict/remove Trump specifically on the charge that he’s a pedophile and child rapist. Then, convict him for all of his crimes and take all of his wealth, half for being an obvious bribe, and the rest as a penalty. Put all of his relatives out on the streets.
I don’t know exactly how that would help America, but I think it would make me feel better.
Oh it would help America to send a message to future Republicans that will try this and even worse if there is no example being made of them.
We let them get away with Nixon. Then Ronnie Raygun did even worse. Then W and Cheney, who could be credibly charged with war crimes. And now we have PEDOnald.
Without any consequences, why would they show any restraint?
