(26,314 posts)important than breaking their control of the party and rooting them out because it says with extreme certainty where they stand, what their agenda is, and what they want for America which is right wingery and I don't care if they can spell, think tricorn hats are icky, aren't churchy types, and aren't boiling over bigots they are still ideologically venom spitting hateful enemies of everything I believe in POLITICALLY even if they aren't garbage in human flesh.
Being a hateful ass bigot isn't a conservative political orientation, it is being a piece of anti enlightenment, stupid, vile shit. Not being a bigot isn't a liberal political orientation. It is just being a bare minimum, baseline acceptable person.
There is nothing "conservative" about forced ultrasounds or about keeping black people from voting, it is just being monstrous and authoritarian as can be.
You expect someone to be impressed at your far seeing wisdom that creates a new world that you don't hold with state enforced rape via probe? Or that you accept all us are human is special? What do you want a gold star because you blink too?
Shit, it is my opinion that calling one's self liberal over such basic things turns out to actually be a message that all this wicked, radically regressive positions are fucking debatable, things that reasonable people can disagree about, even in the area of acceptable by placing basic humanity as at least in sight of the bleeding edge.
So when we actually ever discuss actual governance folks get all "centrist" and flat out conservative real quickly and all I see is temporarily embarrassed or excluded Republicans and until they are neutralized there can be no effective counter for the idiot, animal cousins that use another letter behind their name.
All they are in the party for that I can see is to assimilate it and/or not be ashamed or create a right wing they can be a part of and that is it. I'm also rubbed the wrong way by people that use their focus issues essentially as hostages demanding go their way or _____ gets fucked over and it is all your fault.
To hell with that! Once a cancer like that takes hold it must be irradiated only then will the remaining healthy surrounding cells be free from that grip so that we can even staunch the bleeding much less move forward with an effective offense against the regressives.
