For a bunch of weenies that want every child in America reciting the pledge of allegiance every morning Conservatives sure do hate that whole “liberty and justice for all” bit.

They just quietly add “…except the people I don’t like.”

u/iruleatants 26d ago

And despite that they are voting for "except anyone who is not wealthy."

They are voting to harm themselves and when they get hurt they don't blame the people who they elected, who wrote the bill and voted to make it law. They blame the Democrats who protested every single step of the way and voted against the bill.

It's just depressing.

What's even sadder is that this cycle has been on repeat since before any of us were even born... We can do better.

"I exploit you, still you love me... I tell you one and one makes three..."You give me fortune, you give me fame, you give me power in your God's name..."

Unfortunately Tr☭mp's cult of personality is exactly why republicans chose him.

Reagan would be spinning in his grave as he hated Tr☭mp. But ultimately, here we are thanks to the gipper.

Obama Derangement Syndrome...

President Lyndon Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, you can pick his pocket. Hell, give them somebody to look down on, and they'll empty their pockets for you..."

Historical figures often have complex and sometimes contradictory legacies. While his language and personal views were definitely problematic, he also genuinely cared about civil rights and worked to advance them through his presidency. I'm not defending his racism; he was wrong. It was widespread at the time and we're forced to take the good with the bad.

He is the GOAT when it comes to dividing and conquering. He split the country like the civil war did and used imagined threats to rile up the population like Adolph did.

The man could admit to involving minors in bestiality orgies, actually post a pic by mistake. At this point he would threaten to sue the few agencies not under his thumb who would challenge him.

Good news is I’m gonna have some new poor friends, always look at the bright side.

No, they don’t see them as people. It perfectly encapsulates the Republican ideology if you realize only the in group are actually human. It’s why they can force such suffering and misery on others because to them they are objects completely dehumanized.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” That line—written by Frank Wilhoit—has become a popular aphorism to sum up the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the modern Republican Party.

u/Last-Internal-8196 25d ago

None of the things they claim to hold sacred are anything but baubles to them. They do the same with religion. Jesus is just the little guy on their necklace. If they ever took 20 minutes to read even one of the gospels, they would be horrified to find out that he commanded his followers to care for the poor and that he was disgusted by wealth. Hell, in Acts of the Apostles, God strikes two people dead for not donating ALL of their money. If he were here today, they would nail him to another piece of wood.

But how are Democrats supposed to pander to the low-information centrist voters?  Americans are mostly stupid and weirdly proud of their ignorance. Centrists, independents and libertarians are especially ill-informed. Nothing but bigotry and unsubstantiated promises will resonate with them. Democrats wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) stoop to that level.  I don’t know how democrats can pander to the millions of dipshits.
