It's Fascism
I read this last week and was amazed at how well this Ethan Grey summed it up.� I asked him for permission to repost it here.� He said “sure!”
Former Republican Ethan Grey explains what Republicans really want
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. —Frank Wilhoit
Then much of progressivism is actually conservative, or at least very similar (social norms often replace law here).
Yep, republicans hate Americans and want to control every aspect of our lives. They hate freedom, whenever they see anyone expressing their liberty in a way they themselves wouldn’t they want to ban it.
The same line of thought is quoted in a noteworthy article (archived) by Cory Doctorow.
This goes quite nicely with the post where I learned about Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Was that post related to politics? I find sovereign citizens fascinating.
Indeed, it was a post over on kbin titled “Nearly a quarter of Republicans say classified docs charges make them more likely to support Trump: poll” https://kbin.social/m/politics/t/160848
Republicans are for small government? What? Hahaha are they minarchists now? Lololol
Wow, you guys need to touch some grass
Funny you mention touching grass. Michael Parenti dedicates an entire chapter about how marijuana was used by Nixon to galvanize white moderates against the hippies during the Vietnam War in “Blackshirts and Reds.” You can even read it outside… on the grass.
I thought it was all about "sticking it to Mexico."
