It's gradually occurring to me that regardless of whether or not Trump wins or loses, it's a win-win for conservatives. If he wins, naturally they're validated (and I am terrified). If he loses, they'll double down on the media as the reason he lost. They keep forgetting that CNN gives Donald more free media coverage than any candidate in recent memory.

Eh, if he wins they'll feel validated until he fails to live up to any of his promises and they accuse him of being a sell-out RINO before entering some kind of ultimate despair.

I think it's much more likely that they'll claim he wasn't conservative enough. Ted Cruz will position himself for 2020 to run as the conservative choice, and they will lose again because the GOP is unable to realize that people are deeply deeply disturbed at the sight of his face.

Dunno, Trump just might, maybe, perhaps be a big enough shock to the system that they figure out how to make themselves presidentially electable again by 2020 by amputating the loony wing that voted for him. Wouldn't put money on it, I still fully expect the Republicans to bet on Cruz Control in 2020 or something similar.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Dana Loesch has a new book out called That is a nice collection of conservative nonsense talking points. "All men are created equal" followed by demonstration that they have no idea what Black Lives Matters even refers to or that "All Lives Matter" does absolutely nothing but harass BLM protests rather than protect anyone and that economic equality is just crazy. "Fly overs think that criminals should be punished" ignoring that the punishment is usually in no way proportional to the crimes and that there might be some form of causes to crimes beyond "he was evilll!" My personal favorite for the sheer lack of self-awareness was complaining that "Costals talk about blue collar workers in the abstract." Rick_Hunter posted:It's only bad for people they don't care about. Once it's one of them it's a tragedy that calls for mercy because they're the real victim. Only bad guys go to prison so we must keep on hitting them and ostracize them forever until they see the love and kindness of our society. Unless they're wealth WASPs in which case, they we must be as light on them as possible. This is effective and just. Geostomp fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jun 22, 2016 |

quote:• In Flyover America, people believe criminals should be punished. Coastal America focuses on “rehabilitation.”  quote:• Flyovers think the Declaration of Independence was crystal clear: “All men are created equal.” For Coastals, Black Lives Matter—but anyone who adds that all lives matter must be a racist. The most interesting part for me is the intersection between people who post "all lives matter" but also not-so-thinly veiled racism as well. 100% intersection quote:• Coastals think they understand firearms because they watched a TV movie about Columbine. Fly- overs get a deer rifle for their thirteenth birthday. quote:• Coastals talk about blue-collar workers in the abstract. Flyovers have a relative who works the night shift in a granola bar factory, where the big perk is taking home a bag full of granola bars every Friday. quote:• Coastals think every problem—from hurt feelings to the cost of birth control—requires government intervention and huge federal spending. Flyovers know that money isn’t magic fairy dust, and many problems can be solved only by individual character and hard work.

quote:Loesch is alarmed that America is fracturing into two countries—not North and South, but Coastal and Flyover. So once global warming causes the sea levels to rise enough to wipe out all the Coastal residents, they'll get to say it was God's punishment all along. Brilliant in it's own way. You've got to hand it to some of these True Believers. They're in it for the long haul and anything that happens already has a built explanation, win or lose. Bunch of gays get murdered in Orlando by an ISIS sympathizer? They can go "gays deserved to die" AND "drat, why won't Obama fight ISIS?" Obama gets 2 terms and is gonna take our guns and put us in FEMA camps and institute martial law? Well, that never happened. "We stopped him! Together! By praying and banding together!" "Global warming? What global warming?....Oh, THAT global warming. Well, it only drowned those liberal pinko commies in those coastal cities. God has spoken." In certain ways I envy them. They get to start with the explanation first and then cram the conclusion into their predetermined belief system. It's like the old joke where the guy's waving a banana around, someone asks him why and he says it keeps the tigers away. "But there are no tigers here." "See, it works" *Tiger attacks and kills someone* "Obviously not enough people were waving bananas!"
