      You need to know we’re 35+ years into this. The age of trump has proven what we’ve known ever since Reagan (arguably Nixon): Republican ideals are a sham, covering only racist, sexist, Christofascist power grabs. Anyone who votes R knowingly or unknowingly supports those things. And as a certified cult, they are both forbidden from voting differently and from questioning that fact.

      All hail trump, only he alone can save them. Covfefe.

        We’ve known conservative ideals have been garbage for a lot longer than that (all the way back to the founding of the country, in fact). Republican ideals being garbage more recently is simply a reflection of Republican party becoming more purely conservative since Nixon.

      For Rs, being a moron is a selling point – it makes The Base think they’re “just like us.”
