governing the least is just a dog whistle anyways. Its about letting the south abuse minorities and ruin the environment, no matter how much they try and coach it in platitudes about trump over stepping california. You cannot care about the environment and be any type of republican, full stop.

Dammerung posted:I'm sorry that got kind of long, but I wanted to explain how I felt. I'm sorry again if I distracted from any other topics, or if I offended anybody in my post. I've been trying to work on my tone and how I come across through text, and I want to be sure that I have not hurt anybody as a result of my typing this all up. A party isn't a family, a party isn't an employer, a party isn't any kind of tribe with any justifiable reason for existing. A party is a way for you to put a label on The Things You Believe. If those things are not the things that the other people in the party believe, it means you aren't a part of that party. And you owe the party nothing. You don't need to try to bring it redemption. You just need to not be a part of it. What I keep telling people (including friends who are feeling lost and at sea about politics, being dragged to one pole and the other by friends vs. family and the like) is that Tribes Are Bullshit. Don't worry about whatever group identification you think is important. Worry about issues. Worry about outcomes. You'll end up surrounded by like-minded people just as a natural effect, and then you can come up with a label if that's important. But the label should never be what drives you. E: and "small government" is a meme we all internalized from jokes in the 90s about $30K toilet seats, turns out that that is bullshit too Data Graham fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Nov 25, 2019 |

I keep coming back to what is the GOP and Alt-right literally trying to accomplish at this point other than making as big a scene and mess of the world as literally possible. Also what is "conservative" about any of this behavior or activity? These are the questions they should be getting pressed on loving constantly.

Oh god yes. Constantly whipping their lovely base into a frenzy with a IV line of bigoted propaganda was their standard method, as with all the fascist ideologies. So imagine the joy they would find when they realized that not only do they no longer need to make all those posters, they wouldn't even need to think of conspiracies. They just need to put something out with seed accounts and the world would blow up with people voluntarily claiming that jews cause hurricanes.

Decrepus posted:Nazis did a propaganda once or twice, it is true. Yeah, but the thing is I used to be able to identify what bullshit wedge issue the GOP and Alt-Right were clearly picking at with their propaganda and what political objective it served no matter how heinous or divisive. It's getting harder and harder to find a common thread in all of it's activity now other than "owning the libs" and just behaving like shitlords. I was watching a documentary on Cambridge Analytica last night and the consulting and work they did with the Trump campaign, most notably the Lock Her Up campaign that generated considerable momentum on facebook. Now they're out of the picture and a lot of shady advisory and consulting firms that helped design the GOP's disinformation campaigns seem to be as well so I can't help but wonder if they took the sort of coordinated framework of all the propaganda and online buffoonery and shitposting with them. Like it just looks like these people are trying to stab around in the dark and recreate some of the conditions that led to the 2016 upset but just have no coherent framework. Like it just doesn't feel coordinated at all, maybe because there's no Democratic candidate yet or clear cut opponent to try to smear. I guess we'll see after the Democratic Primaries all play out and wrap up.

Sorry this post took so long, I didn't expect so many responses!How are u posted:You seem pretty thoughtful and open-minded, and your tone is more than agreeable. Thank you, and I guess that's the thing with how I arrived at my conclusion. I think it's just distinctions in lived experiences, or my privilege showing through, but most of the people I know outside of these forums who also identify as Republicans discuss things with me in the same way. Of course, the fear is if they're doing it in good faith or not (which I suppose they are, given that I've worked with some of them on larger projects before), but I can't control what they do. I can control what I do, though, and I always want to engage in good faith! Wylie posted:Without getting too long: You're no longer a Republican, in any useful definition of the word. My apologies if I'm the first to tell you. The party you think you belong to stopped existing a while ago. I know this because I'm a bit ahead of you in realizing it. I think that we initially agree and then diverge partway through. I still do have faith in people in the Republican party, and I don't want to give up on it just yet. I want to put in what effort I can to make politics work again. Data Graham posted:A party isn't a family, a party isn't an employer, a party isn't any kind of tribe with any justifiable reason for existing.

And you owe the party nothing. You don't need to try to bring it redemption. You just need to not be a part of it. I completely agree with you, but, well... we live under a largely dichotomous political system, and it used to be a label I was comfortable with. I don't owe it anything, it doesn't owe me anything, but I still want to act and not surrender it to President Trump and its valueless pursuit of wealth and power. I don't think my rationalizations work in general, of course! The answer I found isn't one that is universal. But it's what I determined to be most appropriate for me. Lemming posted:You typed a lot of extra words when just this line would have sufficed. You should really think hard about whether your other justifications are sincere, or just rationalizations in service of these feelings. Thank you! I will continue doing my best.

Your system of 'I don't like what the party has become but I'm sort of sticking with them for sorta reasons' is exactly what's wrong with the party. I know you think you're one of the 'good republicans' but you're not. By all means pat yourself on the back for not hating the jews or whatever but if you don't actually agree with their policies, don't vote for them, and don't publicly support them. The only people that no politician\party gives a rats rear end about are the people that will not change no matter what.
