[Blake_Palafox]

Donald Trump sucks.

This article is from 2016, but still quite relevant.

Haha. You can post numerous dumb threads and pontificate endlessly. Can’t answer what’s 2+2.

I understand the right completely. They are trump ass kissers 24/7/365 and would not tolerate any democrap President doing what he does not on the right. Fuck trump and the crowd he rode in on.

Is that any different than being a Biden ass kisser?

Go ahead and quote me defending Biden or any democrap at any time. They are just repubican't lite.

So you aren't "for" anything.

Yes, I am for trump disappearing and my tax dollars not going to the rich.

This thread is a good example of there being no basis for discussion with the "progressives".

Today's conservative is far more in line with classical liberalism than the "progressives."

Today’s MAGA sheep are authoritarian, not conservative.

Real conservatives don’t support starting trade wars with our allies, deploying troops to American cities, government officials taking bribes, blowing up random boats in international waters, or using strong arm tactics by the federal government against law firms, universities and media companies.

Am I the only one who thinks Bubbler’s profile pic resembles Toby from The Office at first glance?
So I’m kinda hearing his trolling, hate speech and desperate attempts to construct these little straw men in a whiny, simpering voice, with lots of awkward avoidance of eye contact
Fits somehow

Many liberals, though, have trouble comprehending conservatives.

Your lucky day - I wrote a thesis on conservatism, (which, by the way is focused on conservation of structures, systems and values, and incremental change, but you knew that, of course), and the shift of the center ground to the right
Would you like to read all of it to help you understand your position better, or just a summary?
I got an A, just to reassure you

'Liberals' don't understand conservatives because they don't even try. They live in their own little self-righteous bubble of how they think things should be. Because of that, voters are leaving the Democrat party in droves.

As far back as The Art of War, Sun Tzu said "Know your enemy and know yourself, and in a hundred battles, you will never be in peril."

This is why the Dem party is in the dire peril of dissolving into nothing. Meh... it won't happen, but don't look for them to win anything but small, local elections for the foreseeable future.

You don’t even know the name of the largest political party in the United States.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

Completely false.

Wilhoit’s Law is the one explanation that takes into account all the contradictions in conservative opinions. “For thee, but not for me” is their one universal.

 

[SkyBubble]

Every time you describe what you think liberals believe, you prove otherwise.

You're projecting again.

If you’re posting then you’re lying.

Which means nothing. Literally nothing. Typical liberal trying to define conservatism for conservatives, then insisting you know better what it is than anyone in the actual conservative movement does.

I happen to have studied with some of the best conservative minds, including perhaps the conservative mind, Dr. Russell Kirk, author of The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot, of whom William F. Buckley Jr. once said "No sensible conservative movement will proceed without the advice of Russell Kirk." I grew up in the movement. I have been involved in it for decades, passing through Young Americans for Freedom, Intercollegiate Studies Institute, numerous organizations and publications. Yet somehow you think you know what conservatism is better than I do or Kirk did or Buckley did because you wrote a garbage thesis that pleased a leftist professor.

False again. That's how the left does it.

Ten Conservative Principles​

I would suggest reading this if you want to know what conservatism is and isn't. But of course, you don't, really.

Wrong on all counts.

IT made your point for you.

This is a list of the principles conservatives imagine they hold. In practice, they stand for whites ruling over blacks and immigrants. Men ruling over women. And the wealthy elites ruling over everyone else.

You have no idea what you're talking about. This is a statement of conservative principles from one of the finest conservative minds of the past century. You might try reading up on conservatism, because none of what you've said is true.

Here is another excellent statement of conservative ideas and principles from a well-recognized conservative organization:

It’s too easy to say the party of Lincoln would not be recognized today by Lincoln… As terrible and as morally bankrupt as Dick fuckin Cheney was, even he doesn’t belong in it anymore.

 

[SkyBubble]

We do now.

It went like this:

2016: They really want a restart, and to "drain the swamp".

2020: Wait...

2024: Their primary goal is to have their bigotry not only justified, but celebrated.

More of your cult's falsehoods.
