They really believe prosecution of January 6ers is what you’re talking about lol

Truly have to feel for a guy who has been so discriminated against by mainstream institutions.

gabbklein.bsky.social•12 days ago

Cancel culture has gone too far.

working4capitalism.bsky.social•12 days ago

What these people call "cancel culture" is having every opportunity to make their case in all of the halls of power, but simply getting obliterated by much smarter opposing voices.

This list is so thirsty. Ain't nobody got time to read all that, it makes him look desperate

So, he’s a Media Whore, who believes because he pontificates, we should genuflect?

Got it. How does he feel about getting a pie in the face every morning?

Conservatives are afraid Liberals are going to laugh at them, Liberals are afraid Conservatives are going to kill them

Well I frequently talk about wanting to see their movement leaders legally executed by hanging on the National Mall after coalition forces liberate us from the regime.

When was the last time the Democratic National Committee endorsed a Republican for President? Check and mate, friend.

davidandrews.bsky.social•12 days ago

In the ordinary course of business - if I discover that someone is MAGA aligned - I assume that they are quite gullible and probably very stupid and proceed accordingly. This is always to my benefit, usually very unfairly, and I consider it a tariff for basic dignity and humanity. That’s my example

Conservatives think social media apps are institutions. It's easy to feel like you're facing institutional hostility when you believe the world owes you both a platform and the respect of strangers.

pbastronaut.bsky.social•12 days ago

Also conservatives don't think non-conservatives are people, so deportations, arrests, etc. don't count in their minds. Nothing is as bad to them as strangers not thinking they're wonderful.

paralipsis.bsky.social•12 days ago

I know the main reason I lie awake at night is that I worry about how hard it must feel to be a conservative these days.

All you do is ignore the suffering of others and people start disliking you. What is this world coming to?

reluctantmonk.bsky.social•12 days ago

So fuckin sick of hearing this horsemess.

dpsea.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh, "anti-conservative institutional hostility"?
Let me list the WILD oppression:
- A professor gave me a B+ instead of an A-
- Starbucks barista spelled my name wrong
- Netflix recommended a documentary I didn't like 🙄

crabofdoom.bsky.social•12 days ago

Obviously: when a conservative man who consistently tweets, works, & votes to revoke constitutional rights & personal liberties for "females" can't get laid, and the leftist women he wants to fuck conspire together to refuse to fuck him, just bc he's a conservative.

ypsidoodle.bsky.social•12 days ago

Just after 9/11, I was on a flight with a D-list Heritage guy. He was randomly selected for a search.

Literal howls of outrage. Shouting about his rights (this was the only time I heard him admit that the 4th amendment was a thing; he otherwise claimed the Bill of Rights was unnecessary).

rainerschein.bsky.social•12 days ago

As a white man in his 40s, I can tell you nothing hurts me more than my retired parents having healthcare and an basic income. Don't get me started on the fast food clerk learning how to make change at a school on my dime.

erikgunderson.bsky.social•12 days ago

A tale as old as ... well, at least as old as the Obama Administration.

rodgustavson.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s their perpetual victimhood mentality. If someone is getting a benefit they don’t like, they are the victim and the system is against them.

But they are never denied anything in reality.

bubbajet.bsky.social•12 days ago

LOL. I mean, of course there aren’t any. If you’re anti-realism a university isn’t the place to get your ego stroked.

DOJ used to go after violent white supremacists. From their perspective it's an equivalency.

ejmaron.bsky.social•12 days ago

I remember when progressive state legislatures were radicalized by seeing Family Ties and then banned conservative kids from wearing suits to school, forcing teachers to alert their parents about their dorky haircuts, and pulling GK Chesterton and CS Lewis out of libraries

as Trump 2.0 wears on it’s very clear that moderate conservatives are either going to have to keep harboring this severe dissonance or else admit they were in league with fascists

fiztig.bsky.social•12 days ago

Go take a look at r/Conservative on Reddit. They’re ignoring this stuff. All the batshit crazy nuttiness that surrounds this presidency is not being seen by them. Trump’s Canada fixation is only now breaking through after Joe Rogan questioned it. The world is disserviced by US media.

tullib.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think a lot of them will split the difference and claim that other conservatives “recently” (not sure how that could be defined) became fascists but that they never saw it coming.

Fucking cowards

muellercleez.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm gonna guess it'll be the former

0mphaloskeptic.bsky.social•10 days ago

There are no conservatives in this neo-nazi Republican Party, much less "moderate" conservatives. Every single genuine conservative abandoned this party years ago.

bucketochips.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think we also need give them space to admit they were wrong and no longer in league. There’s shame in the act, but no shame in changing your mind.

ibjoshua.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s hard being on the wrong side of history (in fact generally wrong about most things) and outside your bubble

murphnturf.bsky.social•12 days ago

I wish you would be more understanding. It is so incredibly oppressive to be a selfish asshole from the top socio-economic class.

But hey, it is probably easier to turn fascist then admit you were wrong...
