Sure you are, buddy(lemmy.wtf)

It’s not about their different politics though. It’s about them being dishonest liars who’ll say or do whatever they need to in the moment to accomplish end they want.

Newt Gingrich was a lying piece of shit before Trump was even a blip on the radar.

I don’t disagree with that either … but maga people were newt people.

But it’s important to not make categorical errors… Many conservative Americans aren’t like that. (Maybe a small many, but still)

If you actually want the Dems to win the election, then you should be correct in your language. Otherwise you hand the other side votes.

Disagree, they may have been predecessors but as I said Trump wasn’t even a blip on the radar yet. You might as well say Grover Norquist was a MAGAt. If we’re tracing the toxicity back we can go all the way back to FDR. The right is a party of failed policies and incorrect theories, full stop.

You are not understanding me.

I’m saying the people who are dumb enough to fall for populist bullshit and lies… and never check the evidence themselves… fall for both of these conmen.

But there are conservative Americans that don’t also. It’s not hard to understand. Accurate language is important.
