Hurt feelings isn’t what we need to be watching out for. Literally by definition, to be a supporter of the Republican Party after the events of Jan. 6 is to be a supporter of and defender of domestic terrorism against American citizens.
And ironically even the whole cuck thing is projection. Look up what Roger Stone and Paul Manafort have been up to. And I’m not sure about Stone but for Manafort there was major coercion on his end, so you can’t just chalk it up to a link, it’s just that the guy is a piece of shit like, let’s be honest here, all Republicans are.
Not all assholes are Republicans, but all Republicans are assholes.
One thing I’ve heard is when conservatives use the word “woke”, just replace it with “uppity”, because once you cut out all the bullshit that’s what they mean. To a conservative, everybody has a place in society in that there are people born onto a natural hierarchy. Black people are inferior to white people, poor people are inferior to rich people, etc., and in true Calvinist fashion it doesn’t matter what choices people make, there’s no action one can take to change their position. Wherever a person happens to be as an accident of birth defines their value. And in that line of thinking, the worst imaginable crime isn’t murder or rape or genocide, it’s upsetting the little caste system they’ve imposed upon the world. Woke ultimately means upsetting the caste system. That includes allowing women to have human rights, letting black people attend college, but even also applying the oh so bronze age concept of rule of law to those who commit crimes against someone “lesser than”.
Conservatism is literally incompatible with civilized society in the most fundamental sense. Democracy isn’t just at stake, it’s the entire concept of rule of law. If conservatives had their way, every day would be like The Purge.
Hurting people gets their dicks hard. Republicans are sadists who experience pleasure from causing harm to people and our society. The cruelty is an end in and of itself. Why does the rapist rape, why does the serial killer drag people into alleys to slash their throats? It’s all the same answer: they find pleasure in tormenting innocent people.
One of the most self-damning things about Republicans is how quick they are to start defending allegations of bigotry, racism, sexism, transphobia, treason against America, etc. upon the first mention of conservatism, without noticing that they’re usually the first to bring up those topics. It’s almost like the very concept of conservatism and bigotry against people for their “station” at birth are inseparable, and any attempt to pretend otherwise is just that: pretend.
“Many of [your friends and family]” vote for legalizing racism, sexism, and now literally the attempted overthrow of the United States of America. If your friends and family vote for that and vote for taking away peoples human rights, they’re terrible people. Maybe they’re nice to you but they’re actively ruining other people’s lives. Your cowardice in continuating to associate with, tolerate, and defend these people and their evil behaviors is childish. “But! but! some of my friends are in the Schutzstaffel, they can’t be all bad!” Grow up.
I liked it better when these rich pieces of shit used bread and circuses to distract the poor from rising up and cutting their heads off instead of this tiring busy-body culture war bullshit.
Some kind of forced child marriage theme I imagine, which really amounts to Republican-endorsed legal child rape. So whips and chains, that sort of thing. Alternately, some kind of child labor theme, since these monsters are trying to bring that back too. Coal and pick-axes for your darling toddler. Better they get used to those as soon as possible…
I think the fact that the Republican Party has made child molestation not only legal but legally mandated needs to be shouted from the roof tops. GOP = Group of Pedophiles
Turns out Fascists only like free speech when it gives them a chance to talk freely about genocide. But then it’s “how dare you teach my children about human rights and good touch/bad touch, off to the gulag for you.”
