How are u posted:Misanthropes and bitter angry men believe that no rational person could ever hold views other than their own, therefore when people state things such as "we should respect trans people" or "diversity is good for society" they're clearly just saying it so that they look like Good People and not because they actually believe it. It's a perfect term for conservatives. One aspect of the conservative mind I've noticed after working at a conservative company for several years is their paranoia. They are always out to screw someone and take the upper-hand in any situation and automatically assume everyone else is trying to do the same to them. It's an exhausting mindset. "Virtue-signalling" is just an extension of this mindset.

It's kind of an extension of the general self-centeredness at the heart of conservatism: everyone wants to the same things as me, I want to be on top, therefore, everyone else must want to be on top as well so I must crush them all to keep my share. Like they go so deep into their obsession with spiting all rivals and punishing the lessers that they can't imagine that others don't want to the same things to them.

A big question that comes out of them a lot in the freep thread is "why aren't these liberals afraid of trannies in the bathroom/rampaging negroes/arabs walking down the street in broad daylight/Obama?" It's like whatever they're afraid of is so real to them that they just point and ask "can't you see it?" without even bothering to imagine that there are people who don't see whatever fear is driving them. It seems to be a big part of why they think we're all crazy or brainwashed, that we're not afraid of everything all the time.

Conservatives envy the way liberals effectively define them with certain pithy terms, like projection, truthiness, etc & they're constantly trying to characterize liberals in the same way by inventing dumb partisan terms they hope will take hold in the mainstream.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:https://twitter.com/alwaysthinkhow/status/754524875365163012 It never ceases to amaze me how right wingers think that the things they say among their bubble of right wing friends ("someone should HANG THAT WITCH!" *friends grunt assent, swill cheap beer*) are somehow acceptable to society at large, that they don't seem to realize that everyone doesn't actually think the way they do. Some years back I had a patient who was having a pretty serious cancer surgery. Her son had worked on the (first) Obama campaign and at the time of the surgery had a job in the Obama administration that had a lot of importance and responsibility despite the fact he was pretty young. As we were preparing to bring her for surgery, the operating room nurse, to my shock, said to the patient "you tell your son to tell that Obama we don't want any Obamacare", or something to that effect. We live in a super red area in a super red state where sentiments like this are expressed among the doctors and echoed by the worker bees (usually sincerely, the message having been internalized by the lower strata too) all the time. Aside from the lovely politics it was grossly inappropriate because politics had nothing to do with the woman seeking medical care and a statement like that could be very offensive and at minimum an unwelcome distraction in a very stressful situation. It was horribly unprofessional and because the patient did not complain, as far as I know, the nurse didn't suffer any professional consequences from it. I'm glad people showing their rear end on Twitter and Facebook (including presidential candidates) allows them to reap consequences directly.

The sad thing is, we are often very afraid. It's just that the things we worry about actually exist most of the time. They are deliberately ignored because it's either big business or easy politics to do so. Right wing media and politics encourages their base to live in perpetual panic, but also to deny anything that complicates their narrative. So they get pissy that we aren't all panicking that the government is trying to steal our guns so we can't stop transgender Islamic Mexican immigrants raping our daughters in Target. Meanwhile, a state literally falling apart because of climate change and overuse of groundwater for agriculture are disregarded as the real paranoia. beatlegs posted:"Make America great again" = "make it so people can't hold me to account when I behave like a toddler in the adult world" This hints at what I think is the real deciding factor of what the conservative mind decides to believe: the desire to avoid responsibility. A large, mindlessly evil enemy force is scary, but it doesn't really require anything of you beyond vigilance. You don't have to think think about your beliefs, learn any complicated facts, or really change your lifestyle, no. All you have to do is just scream out louder or hope more until someone else makes the world perfect for you. If anyone questions you, just brush them off as the mindless puppets they clearly are since they fail to realize your greatness. If they go further, then they are just part of the enemy and it's your duty to strike them down like the hero you are. It's very empowering to someone with nothing better in their lives.

You seem to be discounting the idea that racism has blinded these morons into complete delusional myopia. See: Romney and his campaign's understanding of their polling numbers right up until the moment Obama stomped him in swing states line a narc at a biker rally.

Which actually works more often than it should. Maybe not in the name calling area but certainly in the word association game (flip flopper, cut and run, ACORN, socialist, "liberal media", tax and spend, Obama as Santa Claus, War on Christmas/Christianity). They've even co-opted terms like "low information voter" and "cronyism" which is hilarious on its face.
