That Branco has me wondering since I've surprisingly never looked into it: what is the conservative reaction to the lives of people they like being materially improved from liberal policies in ways that can't be ignored?
They ignore it anyway.
Or they say it's "common sense" and just normal American prosperity and not anything a liberal did. On the rare occasions it is undeniably pinned to a single policy, they'll just say it's a conservative policy and they always were in favor of it.

It's even dumber than that, it's the "punk is establishment now, which makes conservatism the new punk rock" poo poo they've been trying for decades, as if the 'elites' that the oldschool anarchists were railing against were the people building water pumps and providing cholera vaccines, rather than the system of capital-aristocracy.
It's not new or surprising but it blows my loving mind every time I see people like this acting like trans people are (or are even supported by) "the establishment" in any loving sense. They're so deep in their imagined persecution that even marginalized groups that are getting almost daily hate-legislation proposed against them are somehow "the establishment" while conservatives themselves, clinging to centuries of traditional backing, sucking off billionaire elites and corporate doctrines, are clearly the plucky little rebels.

I kinda hate people buying into this dichotomy like "Biden's thing is he's old. Trump's thing is he's a criminal." Guess what bitch Trump's old as gently caress too, have you seen this guy, he's held together with mummy glue. They're both walking corpses.
But even most liberal cartoonists tend to go in on this and exclude Trump from being whatever his opponent is accused of being. Reminds me of the Hillary/Trump comparison from before, which is especially funny in hindsight because the thing Trump wasn't shown to be (because that's Hillary's thing!!) was "criminal". That aged well.

This also ties back to an idea conservatives around the world hate, which is that even if someone is horrible criminal, you have to afford them some basic human rights. Like you can't just do literally anything you want to someone even if they are a murderer, so yes, excessive cruelty by the government would still be worth trying in court.

Just loving pathetic. "All we did was walk around and take pictures!"
Jan 6 is amazing because they scrambled to get a talking point on it and never found it. There's like 5 major talking points and they all contradict each other and the same people will cycle through them. I know that to themselves and their base, that's more than enough to be convincing, and their minds won't change either way, but god it's just so loving funny seeing them flop around like this, just completely failed messaging at every step. This one might be the most pathetic though. "Us poor ol grandmas just sightseeing!"

Agnostic of any other specific thing here, I really just hate the whole line of argument Horsey is using here. It's the same childish logic so many idiots use everywhere.
"You think this thing isn't dangerous? Hmmmm, that reminds me of this other thing people thought wasn't dangerous... but it was!" Cool, so from now on anything people say is harmless is actually dangerous.
"Oh you think this new 'shoot yourself in the dick' invention is dumb? Well you know, people said that about the WRIGHT BROTHERS and their FLYING MACHINE!" Like the logic is a good invention was scoffed at once so if anyone scoffs at an invention it'll be good.
