YoBuckStopsHereConservatives are on a mission to dismantle the US government and replace it with Trump's vision
RojoSanIchibanI wish we could stop calling them “conservatives,” because they’re anything but.
Far-right fascist extremists just doesn’t roll off the tongue as well. “Magats” does, though.
There were also some good ideas in how to deal with those types back in the 1930s and 40s. Maybe we should look into that.
PsychadelligoatThey most certainly are conservatives
Just because we might know more moderate ones in our lives and thus be reluctant to lump them in with the extremists by using the same term doesn’t mean they’re not still conservative
Conservatism is garbage and these shits are a great example as to why
Conservatism as a concept isn't inherently garbage. These people aren't just conservatives though. They are fascists.

Nothing good in history has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.
Conservatism has always been a plague of oppression. It is the foundation of fascism. Left unchecked, it always devolves into an oppressive government. Always.
These truisms have been proven time and time again throughout history. Conservatism is definitely trash. It is harmful and has no place in a modern society.
The EPA was a Conservative idea. The Space Race was begun by absolute maniac hardliner conservatives. Ending political Patronage was originally a conservative idea (Pendleton was pro-confederacy and fought against the 13th amendment!)
It’s more accurate to say conservatives ran out of ideas around 1920 and anything good they’ve done since then has largely been on accident.
The EPA was a conservative answer to the progressive demands for it. The EPA was established specifically to stop federal, state and local progressives from continuing to enact their own limits of corporate pollution. Conservatives were getting angry at all the new regulations popping up limiting pollution by their biggest donors. By establishing the EPA, Nixon was able to direct all new “progress” through it, thereby stopping the deluge of other regulations. It was created as a trick by a president who was notorious for his tricks.
It was a famously bad-faith endeavor to usurp progress, signed by a disgraced president who became famous for his deception and manipulation. Strange how conservatives keep choosing con men as their most accurate representatives.
Very consistently, under conservative leaders (including Nixon), the EPA’s rules become extremely flexible, forgiving and minimal compared to when Democrats are in power. What a coincidence!
Let’s dance.

The space race was not the brain-child of a conservative at all. It was green-lit by conservatives who saw an opportunity for fame, glory and money, but it was not a conservative idea nor a conservative project at all.
I didn’t know enough about political patronage, so I had to look that up. Basically, it’s giving political appointments to friends and family after winning a major election (like president). Holy shit. You used that as an example of conservatives doing something good?! Hahaha. Wow! Trump is the walking personification of political patronage.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
