    A guy that got his dick sucked behind his wife’s back is the devil incarnate but a guy that has been through multiple wives, paid a porn store to keep quiet, sexualized his daughter, and literally raped someone is the savior.

    Makes sense if your brain is scrambled I guess.

    I remember my father being so angry about Clinton that the veins in his neck and face were bulging. He thought Clinton should be hanged, at the time, for adultery and betraying the country.

    Now this fat orange fuck is worshiped. I will never understand how they fell for this. The moral compromise needed to support a clown show.

      they do whatever the ultra wealthy tell them to do.

      ideology is not a functional concept in modern politics. it’s all vibes and manipulation in the service of the 1%

        I mean, at a high level, I guess so. At human level where these are real people with relationships and thoughts and feelings, it is mind blowing.

        Some of them now approve of everything they stood against. Whatever the propaganda that got them there, it’s wild. These are people that I respected and thought had wisdom and they have fallen for such a shallow con.

          i sounded kinda cynical but I actually agree with your sentiment, on a more personal level. i have several friends whose families have been split apart (actual people moving away and excommunicated) as a result of the cult like obedience conservatives have tapped into. loyalty to television personalities over actual living breathing grandkids and siblings. truly mind blowing.

          the systematic brainwashing of many people using ragebait, disinformation, and targeted messaging has revealed a deep corruption in the media ecosystem and shown us how easily many of us can be convinced of opposite views we once held sacred. there’s a principal in psychology called “change belief blindness” which essentially shows that rather than admit we were wrong, we change our minds and just forget that it happened, instead creating an internal narrative that we’ve always believed the thing we currently believe.

          im convinced that the most successful political operatives in modern times have weaponized our own psychological weaknesses against us, knowingly, in the same way that game developers use rng loot drop mechanics to tap into gambling addiction reward centers.

    Rs have always united in their club. Matt gates hire prostitutes that cool. Obama has a tan suit they flip out.

    Michelle made a monkey noise talking with her daughter for laughs they proclaimed she’s unlady like. Meanwhile Melania has literally nudes and wears i dont care jackets.

    I could go on but we know conservatives are united with no standards. It’s a super power at this point compared to left side that demands perfection.

      They called Michelle Obama a man. I don’t know why that pisses me off. Like, there’s nothing wrong with being a transgender man or anything. But like, she’s not. She’s a proud and beautiful woman. The fact that their own base doesn’t turn their backs on them for that tells me enough about them.

        they didn’t call her a transgender man. they were insinuating she was a trans woman when they called her a man. deliberately “misgendering” her to be petty.

    It’s just news and culture bubbles. Evangelicals don’t know that they’re supposed to be mad, so they aren’t. If Fox News told them to feel upset about trump doing trump things, it would take less than a week for the pitchforks to turn toward him.

    Edit: just noticed the community. Nice lmao

      It’s not hypocrisy.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
