Yes, America is a creedal nation. It cracks me up to hear the hard right describe Neil Gorsuch as emitting "cuck energy" or Amy Coney Barrett a "diversity hire". What is not funny is that those same hard-right elements would rather pack the courts and legislatures with people who believe that the country is for "Heritage" Americans. Always vote out loons.

Conservatism is fundamentally about *conserving* hierarchy. Look throughout history. What are people at the top of these hierarchies engaged in? Mass death and pedophilia. Therefore, conservatism is pro mass death and pedophilia.

@markmetz ”No we won’t change, the students will have to change”.

This is the same as with regard to (not) regulating social media. Or age verification.

There shall be no change to the platforms, there shall be no change to the school curriculums or ways of testing. All mitigation will be borne by those with the least power, whatever the damage.

It’s absolute #conservatism: The out-group will have to change, while the in-group is celebrated for doing nothing!
