Conservatives always think they're so clever when they pretend to be liberals for the purpose of saying that liberals agree with them. But they have so much trouble keeping that mask on for long: anyone who says "we survived the last 4 years" as if Biden was so awful is obviously a Trumper.

For years, right-wing evangelical pastors injected politics into religion, preaching Trumpism to their congregations.

Oh great: one of those people who refuses to acknowledge that the Democrats and Republicans switched places on the race issue after the Civil Rights Act. This is like saying you can't be racist because your grandfather marched with MLK Jr.

There's a lot of that killjoy behaviour on the Internet now. Just look at the YouTube comments on a trailer for any upcoming Marvel movie.

Conservatives are very fond of claiming that they were driven into the arms of the far-right by liberal criticism. You know, the same way white guys joined the KKK because of Martin Luther King Jr.
