  • Conservatives are the good cops to the fascists’ bad cops.

    “You know people with age usually grow out of liberalism. Oh, you’re soon to be 33? Great age to convert to Christianity, I’m giving you my pastor’s phone number!” vs “I’m going to throw you out of a helicopter you godless communist heathen!”

    “Just work harder, then maybe you get a promotion or something, so you won’t be living under poverty line, otherwise those who suffer more will enter God’s kingdom.” vs “Oh, you’re just like [currently hated minority] for not wanting to work you communist, welfare queen, leech!”

    “What if you regret your lifestyle choices? What if at 35 you realize you wanted a lot of children, and so you instead want a heterosexual relationship? What if you influence a young child to do so? I’m not hating you, I’m just concerned about your and others’ mental well being.” vs “Die $!@” proceeds to beat you up

















  • Similar thing happened in my country, Hungary. We have a de facto one party system, where outsiders are allowed to have an opinion, nothing much else. Sometimes they have suspiciously too many ties to Fidesz, like Munkáspárt 2006 and Mi Hazánk Mozgalom. Corporations not being subservient to Fidesz are being harassed by law enforcement, the tax agency, and the media agency, only a few left as a way to show not everyone is with Fidesz, but often at the cost of them not getting any subsidies, etc. Meanwhile, Fidesz has clever ways to subvert even its own laws. They limit campaign spendings, but have at least 2 GONGOs pumping out ads for them.

    Good luck, maybe the RNC won’t forbid anyone left of Mussolini from owning guns, or maybe you can just wait until the US implodes and Canada will run to your help instead of Russia and/or China.
