it’s crazy how conservatives are just an opposition party. Are the dems for something? Then conservatives must be against it!

they’re all just children with severe behavioral disorders

I always say conservatives have oppositional defiant disorder. How else could you constantly oppose things that everyone else thinks are a better way to live?

I have real issues with whether ODD is real, but I thought the same thing.

Conservatives don’t have ODD. They’ve just taken individualism to its logical conclusion and declared anything that remotely inconveniences or challenges them - whether real or perceived - is absolutely unacceptable.

Conservatives often answer polls in favor of positive things, but publicly state their opposition to Democrats trying to do those things and elect Republicans who actively tear down anything that works. It is madness.

Because they see themselves as good, reasonable people. They don’t act like it, but they believe they do.

They’re an opposition party that’s prevented the people of the United States from passing any significant legislation since 2010. We don’t have a country anymore.

Americans are a stateless people thanks to dark money. Buckle up.

Since we’re stateless I guess I’ll go get an abortion and stop paying rent.

That government doesn’t really serve the people. Does it serve us to stop women from having abortions? Does it serve us to allow housing to be an investment vehicle?

The GOP’s entire idiology is “trigger the libs” and “enrich the wealthy even more”

Ironically, people in the GOP cult are very easy to trigger, but they will never admit it.

This is what being a reactionary actually is. It’s not saying “completely tearing down the status quo will hurt a lot of people we wish to protect.” It’s saying"I have no ideology besides opposing you."

I understand the intent of what you are saying, but please don’t call them all children. They aren’t. They are adults who should know better and should think critically and are fully responsible for their actions. I think it’s important to call them out and describe them exactly as they are.

The way that people react to safety guidelines like rebellious teenagers would be almost hilarious if it didn’t get them killed.

I see so many “rebel canners” that are proud that they do shit like dry canning, because the FDA tells them not to. It’s so cool to get botulism because you don’t like daddy government telling you what to do.

The mask bans seem to be that same kind of childish reaction - “you made us wear masks! We’re going to make you not wear masks!”

Well before covid, I knew Republicans would politicize almost anything. Covid made me realize I was wrong, because they will politicize literally anything, even a fucking virus.
