      This will 1,000,000% be a thing mark my words. Conservatives are twister Grandmasters. Happily bending themselves into inhuman and unsurvivable knots

        It’s not a complex twist or something. It’s really, really simple: They’re lying.

        You can ignore almost everything a conservative says. They’re lying. To see what they think, look at what they are doing.

        They say, “We want to stop government waste!” while ushering in unprecedented levels of corruption.

        They say, “We believe in freedom of speech!” while leading the charge for the most overt, fascist, restrictive policies in decades.

        They say, “Law and order!” while electing people involved in multiple federal criminal trials.

        Look to what they do, not what they say.

        I think most people misunderstand what they are trying to conserve, which is power.

          Yes they will say that they are trying to preserve our social norms. So power. Or our tradition. So power. Or our culture. So power. There is nothing that they can give as an example that does not equate to their power or control over others.

          To which I have only one thing to say. Let other people live their lives as they see fit. And we will stop gay marrying all of you. Which is a shame because Todd was really looking forward to it. We know he’d take good care of you. But if you’re willing to let us make our own decisions. We will let you.
