Not sure if they were deliberately going for Nazi imagery (the slogan has always been fascist) but they've not even bothered to create their own artwork.Quote:

I guess they didn't get the memo about it being good to look like the Lone Ranger.

See the full clip to learn why this exchange not only shows American conservatives to be cruel but also extremely dumb.
There are no words for how pathetic this is:

Both want to see an end to class; the manbaby just decided to start with himself.

Pathetic.
At this point we need a venn diagragm for all the threads and posts outlining the failures of conservatism, the GOP, the Trump administration, the Impeachment process, Congressional corruption and croneyism, etc. The list is long.
Bottom line: the US is either acting like a Banana Republic, or we're a failed state. Maybe both. No one to blame for the destruction but ourselves. :(
We're like a toxic, dysfunctional family that rejects divorce, but won't get marriage counseling, either.

God made him do it.
There is no bottom, but, if there is, they're clearly scraping it for all they're worth:

Simple but effective speech, esp. from 5:18 onwards. You don't have to agree with her politics to recognize what a uncommonly effective politician and representative she is, or what a unique ability she has to compel conservative white men to inadvertently own themselves—repeatedly. Yoho could've avoided this embarrassment by behaving like a grown man, either by not accosting women—in public—like some crazy fucking drunk, or by sincerely apologizing for his behaviour. Now he's the weird dude who called a woman a disgusting fucking bitch out of love for God and for his wife and daughters.Quote:
What Mr. Yoho did was give permission to other men to do that to his daughters. In using that language—in front of the press—he gave permission to use that language against his wife, his daughters, women in his community."
American conservatives are deranged:

These people are so fucking dumb:

I can believe Pompeo got drunk and picked fights near the border with East Germany.

Stop the Presses! The GOP has found a backbone and the line in the sand to the Madness of King Donald. Full thread of actual backbone for once:
Twitter Link
Note how they're talking about having the election completed on the 3rd. So you can bet most are still going to be on board with just throwing out absentee ballots.
No backbone. Legislators with backbone would've condemned his attempt to delegitimize the upcoming election, and the baseless attack on postal voting. Instead, McConnell has kept Trump's strategy in play. In that interview, he closes by saying, "We'll cope with whatever the situation is." Coping is not gonna entail enabling more people to vote by mail.Quote:

Jerry Falwell, Jr. has been forced to step down from Liberty University (for inappropriate pictures posted on Instagram). "The Moral Majority" is a farce. :haha:
And since Trump has declared Biden a God-hater, his white Evangelical Christian supporters have a choice to make. :rolleyes:
Looks like American conservatism is alive and well:

Conservatives really love that ol' constitution eh

I do.
Those reader comments were interesting, too. Here's another NYT op-ed about "conservatism": https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/07/o...sultPosition=3. (Read those comments, too.)
Quote:
Most actual Republican politicians rejected all of this. They stuck, mostly through dumb inertia, to an anti-government zombie Reaganism long after Reagan was dead and even though the nation’s problems were utterly different from what they were when he was alive. Year after year, G.O.P. politicians clung to a dead paradigm, ran the same anti-Washington campaigns and had no positive governing philosophy once they got there.
Steve Bannon’s leap finally did what none of us could do. Donald Trump and Bannon took a low-rent strand of conservatism — class-based ethnic nationalism — that had always been locked away in the basement of the American right, and overturned the Reagan paradigm.
Texas GOP: QAnon nutjobs.

Not your usual insanity but a GOP Senator suggests her supporters skip a meal and give the money to her campaign instead . . .

Good read about a party too dumb to govern: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...ontent/615607/
You and Lowery have a hard time reading between the lines. The Party agenda is there. Quietly kill off poor people and make rich people richer.Quote:

So I think we can agree this is a normal conservative president having a totally normal presidential moment.
I wonder what it is about the draft-dodging Commander In Chief who calls dead veterans suckers and losers, prioritises his own hair over a cemetary visit, insults POWs for being captured and turns a blind eye to Putin putting bounties on the lives of US soldiers that has led the military to support Biden?

The answer to this thread's question is yes. Yes, American conservativism can survive and it can do so by voting Democrat. Increasing number of Republicans saying this now.
Twitter Link
Is that like using Socialism to save Capitalism? :confused: Sorry, but American conservatism lost its way decades ago, and won't find its way back just by voting for Democrats. Republicans gave up on 'principles' and ruined their own party when they nominated Trump in 2016.Quote:

They (Republicans) can't continue to support the Trump agenda in public, but secretly vote for Biden....as a way to save "conservatism".
