Fister Roboto posted:I'm getting really drat sick of the "smart" conservatives and centrists who try to defend it as anything more than a wholly evil ideology. They wrap themselves in knots to try to rationalize "fiscal responsibility" as a good thing but absolutely refuse to connect the dots to what we're seeing now, which is leaving people to die of something that's easily preventable. And the worst part is they have Trump as an easy scapegoat for all these problems. Conservativism isn't the problem, it's all just Trump messing things up. Trump is every conservative argument amped up to 11 and never let them for a moment forget it. They weren't hoodwinked or bamboozled; this guy and his policies are what they have been clamoring for the past 40 years.

I really don't think anti Trump conservatives exist outside of a few op-ed pages and a statistically irrelevant number of sweet gentle morons who genuinely thought conservatism was about limited gov. Conservatives who say they love Trump to their conservative friends but say they dislike Trump to their liberal friends, however, are absolutely everywhere

We got a derecho in Colorado a few weeks ago and it was nuts. Just a line of wind moving across half the state, moving on as quickly as it showed up. I went out with my neighbors to chop up a 15-foot tree limb that dropped across the street.

There used to be Burkean conservatives, Rockefeller conservatives, and Movement conservatives in the Republican party during the 40s and 50s. But the Movement conservatives started to dominate with the nomination of Goldwater. By the time Reagan was elected movement conservatives were primary force of the Republican party, and the new millennium has shown that the only things left in the GOP are the movement conservatives and neo-nazis. During the GOP primary of 1964, Nelson Rockefeller represented the side that accepted some sort of the New Deal was necessary and good for America, whereas Goldwater wanted to tear the entire welfare state to the ground. Of course, Rockefeller lost that primary, hard. When the grandson of The Rockefeller cares more about the welfare of the poor than the other candidate, you know things are rotten. golden bubble fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Aug 10, 2020 |

It's a bit like when my younger brother was in high school, and one of his duller friends thought that, in World War II, we intimidated Germany into surrendering by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and then Japan retaliated by bombing Pearl Harbor. Later, when my brother was in basic, I make a joke telephone transcript between Hitler, Truman, and Eisenhower that played on that idea. Several dudes in his bay were confused and asked if it was what really happened. Loden Taylor fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Aug 11, 2020 |

The worst part of the interview is OAN asked about some bullshit conspiracy theory (Susan Rice will be the VP so they can cover up spying on Trumps campaign in 2016) and Trump rambled on with Qanon poo poo for 5 minutes.
