A cat like that @onesparkfire.bsky.social · 1h20 years later their excuse for why they can't be held accountable for their choices is the same. They had no choice. No matter how decent or capable the Democrat, they can only ever be equally bad, a choice of lesser evils. This is an exercise in self-delusion, the pursuit of being a smol bean. 100
A cat like that @onesparkfire.bsky.social · 1hAny conservative who regrets their vote for George W Bush could tell you they had no choice. What could they have done? The Democrat would have been just as bad. See the collected reasons that Fox News had helpfully curated for them. So they really cannot be held accountable for what they chose. 100
A cat like that @onesparkfire.bsky.social · 1hThis is why they're so absurdly afraid of us. They assume we want to hurt them because they want to hurt us. This is why whataboutism is not a non sequitur to them, it's how they maintain their support for conservative politics even in the embrace of fascism and the shredding of the constitution. 100
A cat like that @onesparkfire.bsky.social · 1hThe basic functional assumption of the conservative in American politics is that Democrats are exactly the same as they are with the same motivations and processes but the opposite. Any horrible thing they think of doing is excused because we would do it, and if we say we wouldn't we're lying. 111

A cat like that @onesparkfire.bsky.social · 21hIn 2009 they had a new phrase. "I never liked Bush," when you tried to bring up how they had behaved prior to Obama's administration.

A cat like that @onesparkfire.bsky.social · 21hThe Republicans took a blistering 2006 midterms defeat, but W retained and used his veto power to keep the wars running with little to no oversight, but the wars had become deeply unpopular, And Republicans had stopped saying "six more months." They had started blaming us for the loss. 100
A cat like that @onesparkfire.bsky.social · 21hRepublicans in 2006 started saying this phrase. "I don't support George W Bush but I support what he's done for the country." They started saying this because he was a genuinely stupid and evil man and he embarrassed them, but conservativism is a *cultural* identity, not a political one. 101
