This cannot continue it is not sustainable. This narcissism where they never make mistakes and they have nothing to apologize for is toxic. It's killing them and us. Something has to give.

20 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.

Any 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.

This 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.

The 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.

Trump makes genocidal threats against Iran and then IMMEDIATELY pivots to whining about not winning the Nobel Peace Price. You can't make it up.

If anyone pays protestors to attend Trump rallies it's Trump. Why? Look at how the crowd reacts. The thrill of the enemy, defeated. The thrill of fellow feeling. It's us v them & they've infiltrated our sacred place, attacking us. But look at how strong we are! We can kick out the enemy within. 😵‍💫

listen to this story Trump tells about getting Macron on the line and demanding he triple drug prices in France, while keeping in mind that he's made up this entire thing (note that Trump also claims partial credit for the riots in France)

The key to Trump's election fuckery is you absolutely take it seriously, & you take it seriously by knowing you've got the numbers behind you to follow through on your principles. This is the United States & the way we rule ourselves is not subject to the whims of an old orange shitsack.

In 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. They would answer for none of their hypocrisy, violence, hate, division, or cruelty. They cheered torture and then were outraged by a tan suit.

They were quiet for exactly ten minutes after the election of Barack Obama, and then pretended they had just awakened from an 8 year coma and screamed "What happened to the deficit??" They dressed up as George Washington and called themselves the Tea Party to protest Obama's tax policy.

They said the unbelievers had stabbed the troops in the back and hampered the war effort, a thing that Iraq War supporting conservatives still believe, including and especially Pete Hegseth.But then they got quiet. Nobody apologized to anyone, for anything. They just went silent.

The 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.

Republicans 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.

I love that it's totally cool and legal to use social media to rile up an angry hateful mob and incite them to attack doctors and send in bomb threats to children's hospitals but texting Shrek dong to a politician gets you hauled into court

You mean the Democrats who have endorsed him, are spending time campaigning with him, and trying to help him regain the -40 points he was down with Black voters in the primary, those Democrats? If he wins, it will be because Democrats broke their backs getting him over the finish line. Ingrates.

This is an absolutely phenomenal analysis. And everyone should take a moment to read it. Asking ourselves ‘what does this exercise of state power mean?’ is an essential analytic frame.

Case in point, the minute Lawler was corrected on his bullshit, he tried to get up and leave! The moderator had to tell him to sit back down! They have all spent so much time interrogating other people for the cameras they forgot that they owe answers to the American public.

I just think the media has become so spineless that these people have not faced any difficult questions or genuine criticism in years. They talk to reporters who want to keep their access and don't challenge them. They don't do events where critics can ask them questions or correct the record.

I am convinced that Americans just cannot care about policy and it is a terminal disease. There's more to being progressive than free healthcare and free Palestine. They want talk, not action. They'd rather be right than have the power to make things right.

It doesn't matter what they run on, conservatives are going to say they're running on acid amnesty and abortion. And it doesn't matter what they run on because malcontent left-leaning Independents will say all they ran on was not being republicans.

To every politician in New York: Do not tell the protesters to behave peacefully. Do not tell the protesters to disperse and go home. Instead, tell ICE to behave peacefully. Tell ICE to disperse and go home. Side with your constituents, not the Trump administration.
