Caltrops - Balance of Power





	[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Ichabod"][quote name="laudablepuss"]<a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/01/second-dem-has-covid-after-riot-calls-for-fines-against-maskless-republicans/">What the hell is wrong with Republicans?</a> Also, I really thought this would be a "come to Jesus" moment for conservatives. I'm not sure it has been that. This is the rise of fascism in America, and everyone who's been a on board that train needs to get off NOW. But instead I'm seeing more lies, more whataboutist horseshit, and talk of "healing" that amounts to less than nothing.[/quote] It hasn't been. There is a bootlicker trying to say this is all okay because of the BLM protests up in the thread. Even Caltrops has worthless QAnon babies. (god imagine getting your news from qanon and then insulting others because their news sources are meant for adults and not infants who need their talking points)[/quote] Yeah that's the whataboutism crap. Wouldn't it be great if you could tell yourself that you're not any worse than your opposition? But sadly it's not true, cons. Cognitive dissonance is rough. "Among Democrats, 94% disapprove of Trump’s job performance and 4% approve. Seventy-one percent of Republican voters approve of Trump’s job performance, while 20% disapprove. Independent voters, by a margin of 65% to 28%, disapprove of his job performance." (from <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/president-trump-s-job-approval-rating-plummets-after-mob-attack-at-the-capitol/ar-BB1cEERI?ocid=spartan-dhp-feeds">here</a>) That tells me that the conservatives who recognize this President to be an authoritarian threat to democracy have already left the Republican party for the most part. What remains are people who don't realize they are supporting fascism or who gleefully love it.[/quote]
