I like how they are finally beginning to realize their “super stable 11D chess playing genius” is actually one of the most dumbfuck politicians we’ve ever had. Something we all saw from day one. George Bush Jr. looks like a prodigy next to this guy.
It’s like I never wanted to forgive the GOP for George then they went and pulled a trump. It all makes sense now. W was the creme of the crop when it comes to the GOP. Literally the best thing they had going for them was that shit head.
Eh. GWB killed a million Iraqis out of greed and arrogance, Trump killed a million Americans out of ignorance and laziness, same difference really.

There were so many moments where I thought that’s what was happening and it didn’t.
He needs to lose and go to jail, and even then he will probably have thousands of followers left.
delicious delusional con tears…
Were fucking Republicans. We freed the slaves. We forced through reconstruction. We were responsible for civil rights. We literally have the historical record to make these arguments to the face of these race obsessed garbage people.
LOL. I so laughed at this line. Some people are unbelievably clueless.
Notice that while they’re posting on /r/conservative they don’t use the word “conservative” in that sentence. Because then they’d have to say:

I bet they also believe Democrats do nothing to help black people in recent times.
Which, to be clear, is true in many ways. Now apply the same logic to Republicans who bleat out “we were the ones who freed the slaves!”.
Nah bruh, your brain is just too liberal to understand why trickle down economics is actually great for the poors
I haven’t visited that sub in years, mostly because it made me feel dumber.
But those comments are in weird contrast to what I used to see. I wonder if the veil is finally falling…that’d be wild.
It’s kinda funny watching them notice who Trump is for the first time while still being upset he might not win. There’s some comments that are effectively, “enough of the meaningless bullshit, just talk about policy and he’ll do better!” as if Trump ever had any attractive policies.
I believe last I heard they were trying to distance themselves from their policies because they realized in hindsight that they shouldn’t say them out loud.
Well that was certainly eye opening, and not in a good way. Begs the question of how the party has ever been able to unite such a diverse group of delusional and hateful people with out the whole group completely thunder-doming themselves.
They have a uniting principle:
“We deserve to rule, being the heirs of privilege. The world is not fair, and we will keep it that way so that we can be on top.”
Reactionaries see the democratization of rights as an assault on them; to them, rights are zero-sum. If someone else (especially a group they’ve coded as “evil”) gets a right recognized, they see it as a personal affront.
One can see this streak throughout history for the reactionary right: freeing the slaves, ending Jim Crow, women’s suffrage, same-sex marriage, etc.
I don’t think it’s even about ruling, it’s about needing to feel superior to . . . someone. Decades ago there was a wonderful article titled something like “Who Are You Better Than?”. It talked about how people who know they are not, and never will be, members of the ruling class desperately need groups of people they can comfortably point to as being “beneath them”. As long as they aren’t at the bottom they can feel good about themselves.
What’s r/conservative?
Edit:
Ah well, hand people an opportunity, and they’ll kick you for it.
