Keep in mind too that they’re not always accurate. I know of one in my city that regularly takes photos of people going through on the green because it’s a bit of a wonky intersection. And that means a person gets to spend their day in court instead of at work fighting a ticket they did not deserve.
Actually they are remarkably consistent in their principles. It’s just that they know their principles are disgusting, so they claim other principles as a cover.
It’s really quite simple:
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.
Their goals are twofold: to make this a reality, and make sure they are in the first group.
Mel Brooks once pointed out that dictators hate to be laughed at. And he would know, given he fought the Nazis in WWII.
So laugh. Mock them. Humiliate them. Their overinflated egos can’t handle even the slightest scratch, so short of shooting them this is going to be the best way to hurt them.
It’s funny to me because when an incel bothers me I sure would like to sic a shark on them.
Age matters too. Older eggs are easier to peel.
Not only did they contribute, they had Trump do an ad for them while he was on the campaign trail.
Just wish Chick-fil-A wasn’t giving all their money to conversion camps.
Laura Loomer. This is what plastic surgery addiction gets you.
You mean the coalition of Trump-Puppet people and Israel-Puppet people? Trump might as well be king; no-one is going to stop him.
So Octarine, basically.
No. That just legitimizes them. You have to shut them down and march them off stage.
Ignoring bullies only empowers them.
Uh-oh. I hope FlyingSquid and their kid are doing okay.
It’s missing the vast majority of congress cheering him on, but otherwise seems accurate enough.
Which just means they want the tariffs to happen. Perhaps a billionaire promised to buy him New Orleans or something?
Oh, he runs it. Just not well. He sucks at real CEO work like he sucks at everything else in his life.
But he’s from a high-class Indian family. As far as he and his family are concerned, that makes them ‘white’.
Seriously, Indian classism is even nastier than US racism.
Yeah, except he and his brother own majority shares in Tesla and pretty much hand-picked the board. I bet this is nothing but performative; they get a new ‘face’ for the company while he still runs Tesla from the background, Wizard of Oz style.
These people have been taught their whole lives that being good is something you are, not something you do.
Some people haven’t experienced anything bad yet, so they don’t care. Some people realize that once the fighting starts we’re all fucked for the next few decades at minimum and for a few centuries worst-case. And some people are positively thrilled by what’s happening and are cheering everything on.
Hence why there’s no rioting, yet. I hope it’s coming, that we don’t just roll over like the Iranians and the Russians did for their autocrats, but I also fear that it is coming.
