Elect a clown, get a circus. Elect a tyrant, get tyranny. Elect a thief, get stolen from. Elect a serial rapist, expect a crime spree as they try to outrun justice. Elect someone who is all of the above and get utter chaos that is inhospitable to long term business.

- kemotep 8mo agoIs complaining about an unnecessary conflict that is disrupting the global economy really insufferable? I mean my coworkers constantly bitched and moaned about things Biden was doing that just seems quaint comparatively. Namely about the cost of living, gas prices, and instability in the Middle East. All things Trump has definitely made significantly worst in comparison to just doing nothing.
- karmakurtisaani 8mo agoDon't worry, he's just not tired of winning yet.
- mindslight 8mo agoI'm a libertarian. You've blinded yourself by defining anything that isn't fundamentalist right reactionary as this catchall "leftist" bogeyman. I most certainly understand the frustration that led you to this charlatan who you thought could at least stick a fork in the eye of the status quo. The problem is you didn't listen to your fellow countrymen telling you that the fork would inevitably go into your own eye even harder. And you still aren't even as the results become ever more painfully clear.

- lovich 8mo agoHow the hell could you type that out with a straight face. This is some darvo tier shit.
- mindslight 8mo agoTrump was a registered Democrat and he sure as Hell isn't a conservative, so in a weird way that statement actually checks out.
- cocacola1 8mo agoHe’s definitely a conservative.
- AnimalMuppet 8mo agoDepends on your definition. He's sure not what was considered "conservative" a decade or two ago. But he is what is currently labeled "conservative". The older definition was small government, limited federal power, fiscally conservative, protect the Constitution. The new definition is... something very different.
- fzeroracer 8mo agoThis hasn't been true for probably over 40 years. Every conservative presidency has resulted in causing more budgetary issues, increasing the power of the feds and chipping away at the constitution. You can look at the actions taken and the budget over the years. Reagan massively blew up the national debt with Reaganomics, George W followed in his wake and so did Trump. The new definition of the GOP is just what happens when the mask fully falls off and they don't feel a need to lie to people.
- mindslight 8mo agoIn the pejorative sense the word has taken on as the wheels have slowly come off the cart for the past several decades, sure. But as far as the lofty ideals outlined by conservative thinkers, an "institutional arsonist" is basically the polar opposite. The conservatives with any principles remaining got labeled "RINO" and sidelined. And that's saying a lot given what had previously passed for principles. A correct term is "reactionary", as Yarvin outlines in A Gentle Introduction... . Or less awkwardly and more plainly, "fascist".
