Conservatives...Totally worthless bootlickers and traitors, the lot of them.
Most of them. But this sort of framing is counterproductive dooming. Also, holding Ted Cruz up as an example of all conservatives is certainly something...a bunch of people were already sick of his big hat no cattle attitude, for ages now.
'This dude who is marginally better than the RINOs but has still been pissing people off for ages by continually disappointing people and almost being a RINO...has said some dumb shit that isn't America First...conservatives are scum!'
It's just silly.
Yeah, fuck most of the politicians on both 'sides.' But targeting conservatives - especially when, in my opinion, the Republican party is in the best shape it's been in in ages - is just ridiculous.
People forget that Ted Cruz was a boring, milquetoast loser that everyone mocked for being literally a fake human with no personality, until Trump kicked his ass hard and he latched his boat behind that train with a lot of bluster (and almost no results).
Anyone upset about him now is just revealing that they are easily duped by a few well placed words and they will scream "BASED BASED BASED LYING TED IS NOW LION TED!!!" while ignoring a person's entire prior history.
Wrong on all counts. Give me an example of conservatives accomplishing anything important and not related to Israel in the past year. Trump doesn't count as he's not a conservative and never will be
Years ago in High School, had a fantastic political science teacher
He would be called based today (would also never be hired being a white male). Caucasian, in his 40s, devout Catholic
Was also a football coach, students loved him
He had a Socratic teaching style
I memorably recall one student in the class, super liberal girl, she was the protoype of things to come
She got into an argument with him early on in the school year about Immigration
Her argument was the usual shitlib concept of infinity migrants and what about empathy
He let her go on for a bit about "lets turn bombs into bowls to feed the hungry"
At the end of her rant, he asked her
"I see you're very passionate about this. So what are YOU going to specifically do about it?"
She fired back with a bunch of hypotheticals about what should be done, he cut her off
"I'm not asking what you THINK should be done. I am asking what actions you are going to demonstrably take to make these things happen"
She didn't have an answer.
He left it at that, (and his point was not embarrass her)
He segued into a discussion on objective political action requiring organization, policy agenda, donor funding, getting in contact with actual policy makers and representatives and time invested.
It was educational.
I think back to that conversation. When you see people constantly up in arms about the Current Political Thing giving hot takes and what they wish would happen.
"I see you're very passionate about this. So what are YOU going to specifically do about it?"
It's funny that they so often take that as an ad hominem, or "whataboutism," when it's very core to the argument. They'll get super offended if you ask what they're doing about their own passionate beliefs.
The point isn't you can't hold those positions, it's just how are they being applied. Are you actually doing anything, or just trying to force your ill-conceived ideals onto everyone else, when you don't live by them?
They're the ones saying there's an issue with society. I want to see how they're applying that in the small scale, before I listen to them on the bigger one. Especially if the core demand is some action from me, or my tax money and government.
Also, I wish they were capable of logic, because we do so their policies being applied; in liberal cities, in liberal states, even in liberal towns. It's not making things better, and is in fact making them significantly worse. We've seen what their "empathy" accomplishes.
They'll get super offended if you ask what they're doing about their own passionate beliefs.
Virtue signalling and purity spirals aren't concepts the Left invented and own, its just as much of a problem right now with our side as it gains power/prominence.
Trump doesn't count as he's not a conservative and never will be
Most of the Republicans aren't conservatives either...
Again, you're using Ted Cruz as an example of all "conservatives" being traitors.
I just think there are better focuses, when the Democrats exist. The Republicans/conservatives suck. The Democrats actually want to destroy America, and have done a pretty good job of it, at that.
There seems to have been a concerted effort recently to turn these boards anti-conservative. Seen a few posts like this with absurd leaps in logic and tumber-tier writing.
and im pretty sure the senators/congressmen that is allowed to criticize and even make disparaging remarks against that country are controlled opposition. talking about the squad like aoc or towel head. they are there to satisfy the rabidness of the leftists commies and there to rally boomer conservatives.
Traitors against whom? The current Iranian regime are not and have never been our friends; anything more favourable than thinking they're more trouble than they're worth to kill is stupid.

Time to quote a tweet I once read...

Wishful thinking is meaningless.

Eisenhower and Operation Wetback
Really, man?
There seems to have been a concerted effort recently to turn these boards anti-conservative. Seen a few posts like this with absurd leaps in logic and tumber-tier writing.
Yeah, it's totally out of character for a conservative to fellate Israel right? Who could believe that?
Ted Cruz is being Ted Cruz. This should surprise no one.
Personally I find it entirely in character for the zodiac killer to enjoy it when Isreal murders people
and im pretty sure the senators/congressmen that is allowed to criticize and even make disparaging remarks against that country are controlled opposition. talking about the squad like aoc or towel head. they are there to satisfy the rabidness of the leftists commies and there to rally boomer conservatives.

Traitors to America. They sell out American interests and money to Israel constantly. I don't give a fuck about Iran or any Arab country
I don’t like Iran, but I don’t like Israel either.
I’m Conservative.
