    i like it when the prove how conservative they really are.

    im convinced the current democrats are really the current conservatives. the current progressive left are the current democrats and the current conservatives are just unempathetic fascists.

    maybe updating everyones nomenclature might solve for some identity issues the right seems to have.

    if youre conservative, and dont think youre a fascist, guess what? youre still conservative. if youre a democratic whining that youd now be called conservative, own your shit. get over it. and the fascists? well they can fuck right off.

      The US Democrats would count as very conservative on most issues in Germany. The Republicans would mostly be in jail for hate crimes or just plain old regular crimes. The failure of the US justice system to hold the political class accountable is staggering.

      Conserving capital while liberally destroying life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Ironic.

      I mean… People from actually democratic countries have known that for a very long time… Even compared to Canada, which is USA light in many ways, the Democrats would be our Conservative Party (although their current leader/members is moving them closer and closer to the Republican party).
