Weird conservatives have never been know to understand things like “longterm effects” or “treating what they have with any respect”.

They like buying trucks, guns, and knives. They like showing those things off. Like the “rustic charm” in the memes that are really just about how anti-social they are. They like wearing red and black flannel, camo hats, and acting like they could totally live off the land just because their entire idea of nature is about who’s more violent.

The people who can name the birds and trees, who gather responsibly, and just like to go for a nice canoe aren’t usually too conservative. Obviously it happens but that requires a level effort and stewardship for the land that’s often incompatible with the personality required to grasp onto conservatism.

Honestly the right is never “serious” and where they are right now is exactly the place they need to be. Nothing they want is backed by any evidence which says that it’s good for the people and rhe whole fucking ideology was born out of keeping people down when monarchies fell.

Fuck the right, serious or not nothing they do will ever help anyone but themselves and they are where they are right now because they chase the stupid and hateful for votes. Those are the only people who will actually go in for their nonsense and after a while they’re the people who also end up running and winning. It is seriously funny, if not slightly horrifying.

If you’re gunna simp for something you could at least have the self-respect to choose a thing that isn’t openly unstable dogshit.

all the red states collapse without transfer from richer blue states

Wait is that her actual face? Well I mean it’s not her face in a manner of speaking but is the photo real? Yikes.

“Your system is so bad, terrible! Anyone can do better!”

“And yet you couldn’t in your term and still don’t have an idea how to do it even now? So you admit you can’t fix what you believe to be an easy problem to solve? That’s a weird stance to take during a debate you’re trying to win but ok.”

Just someone trying to “get ahead of the people who will complain that it’s not politically correct”. Like, no one is complaining but they’re already mad for…some reason.

Sure thing, bud.

No?

Yes, sometimes it’s better to just leave the shitty person to be shitty but not calling people out also validates their shitty opinions. I’m glad you’re in a place of privilege to just ignore it but maybe practice your own fuckin’ augenmaß and butt out if you don’t have anything constructive to say.

“Wah wah I’m a victim look they’re going to attack me any second now!”

I hope you figure out whatever’s destroying your sense of self-worth and causing you to attack margainalisized communities to protect what’s left of your ego. That’s both a dig and a genuine dose of sympathy.

If he’s already been convicted, what’s the hold up? Like I’m sure yea there’s something we don’t know but normally I get the waiting for them wanting to build a strong body of evidence during the trial, not after a conviction.

How to advance justice: Delay it.

Right, that’s it folks, a perfect argument to not care or hold anyone accountable ever.

If they act surprised then they can pretend that they were fooled by some great conman, the same as having a deepstate that makes sure bad things happen to them that they can’t control. The second they need to acknowledge that it was obvious and they missed it they’re basically broadcasting how fucking stupid they are and that’s too much for them to handle.

I mean, I’m 100% sure it’s happened to everyone who ever lived at least a couple times but usually it does get to “supported Trump’s coup attempt” so we don’t notice it as much.

Becauss the people who go out and try to solve their problems with violence on a scale that would give us that pattern are the republican base. There are plenty of examples outside of that group, obviously, but even the guy who tried to shoot Trump had been a republican until very shortly before the attempt.

I thought the whole point of a subpeona was that you can’t refuse.

And yet it still happens all the time. It’s hard to prove so people get away with it. Are you really so naive as to think the problem was just magically fixed?

I literally had a boss look at the resume of a guy I went to school with and he put it aside because “I want to keep jobs in Canada” which made no fucking sense but here we are.

The movement left that you’re referring to, if whining about the social left, is that we’re finally able to acknowledge large groups of people that were oppressed for fucking ages. And when I say able I’m breezing last the fact that people still find themselves in dangerous situations all the time. Yes, things get more complex as each step forward reveals new layers but accepting trans people and realizing that you need to force business owners to not be hugely racist is not “moving left” it’s “being a decent fucking human being”.

We can’t realize because it is objectively untrue. Like, the right just keeps moving right and has been doing so for many decades. They’re not just lagging behind but actively doing as much as they can to obstruct progress and even undoing as much of it as they possibly can. It’s pushed even the very idea of “the left” towards the middle so when you get someone even slightly left who hasn’t changed their views at all speaking up people think they’re “moving further left”.

Again, there’s nothing there to realize because you comment is just completely and easily fact-checked to be wrong.

According to Wikipedia that is because the bird-hipped ones looked like modern birds and the names came before we realized the error.

Hooray!
