Conservative politics: society's most privileged & powerful, scared of their own shadows, imagining themselves victims, compensating for their insecurities by heaping abuse on society's weakest & most marginalized, and fashioning themselves heroes for doing it.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.
And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

They hate everything that makes America unique, beautiful, and powerful. If they have their way the US will become just another dull, middling backwater
MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

Every time I see someone like Abbott choose self-inflicted decline, I think of this quote from Pedro Sanchez:
"Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed-off, poor country. It’s as simple as that."

so to review how America works, lawmakers respond to problems by using taxpayer dollars to subsidize the vacation homes of Deloitte consultants and when the problem inevitably goes unaddressed they blame immigrants and social safety net beneficiaries

The core truth of the Trump era, and the one that journalism is forbidden from stating out loud, is that Trump has gathered around him a constituency of the country's worst people.
That's what most distinguishes them -- not economic status, age, where they live, anything else. It's shittiness.

Yeah no if they weren't all scared shitless Trump himself wouldn't be saying "we're going to send another round of stimulus checks and we're going to be sending them very strongly" every two weeks before immediately forgetting about it
Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections.
Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.
