@georgetakei I wish I could say I did NotSee that coming from the likes of Ann Coulter, but let's be honest, she's been working her way further and further Reich for years.

Also, considering how many Americans are not that far removed from immigrant ancestry, I guess she's in favor of Native Americans being the only presidential candidates from now on?

Show threadSoozcatFeb 27

@georgetakei Sorry folks, but I have more to say about this, so hang on.

This admittedly stupid Coulter comment actually represents a marked shift in American conservatism. It used to be that we focused not on our shared ancestry (because that's not something Americans have ever had in common), but our shared belief in the Declaration, the Constitution, the championing of individual rights and the legal and social norms that made America possible. Being American was NEVER an ethnicity, it was an ideology. (more)

Show threadSoozcatFeb 27
@georgetakei But I guess conservative beliefs have to shift now because frankly, when you read the Declaration you can see the similarities between King George and would-be King Trump. When you read the Constitution, you can spot the difference between the requirements of federal law and the way "the party of law and order" has treated that document as optional or as an outright hindrance for the last year-plus.

@georgetakei Principled conservatives would have to jettison Trump because he doesn't care about conserving anything except his own freedom from prison. Because Trump is... well, the way he is and because his status as head of the GOP makes him the de facto leader of the conservative movement, conservatism itself has to twist itself in knots around his beliefs, not the other way around. And it means that conservatism no longer means conserving the things that are important about American life. It starts to be about blood and ethnicity and love for your country being "in your genes."

@georgetakei I considered myself a conservative voter until 2016, when I found Donald Trump so repulsive I chose to vote for someone else. Looking in from outside, remembering what it used to mean to be a conservative, I have come to the conclusion that a large percentage of American conservatives, trying to syncretize their beliefs with the absolute nihilism of Trump, have gone completely insane. As their Dear Leader would say, "sad!" (end)

@aburtch @georgetakei If blacks are "Afro-Americans" then whites are "Euro-Americans". Also it's just one shithole country in the north, that doesn't corrupt both continents so we should be more specific: "Afro/Euro-*US*-Americans"

Re potus trump's grandfather, he was an illegal migrant, he made some of his money by pimping women, an impending deportation forced him back to Germany. He returned legally later.

@marsfield @georgetakei

Also, a draft dodger. Which is the reason why when he returned to Germany, he had to leave again.

So I guess Ann is right? Love of country (or lack thereof) is in the genes?

Fun additional note, he died during the 1918 flu pandemic.

@georgetakei Thick as pig shit, Brits say.

Biologist here: Please keep in mind, that we all of the human species are bastards. That's a built-in feature of sexual reproduction.

Once people reproduce, parents' genes get mixed, so their offspring invariably can be considered a bastard. You rather might be proud of that, because it's a live sign that we're still evolving.

That love-for-your-country blarney has never been demonstrated by science, though. Can't blame Ann Coulter for her profound lack of competence (she may have just bad luck when thinking), openly showing the same certainly doesn't make her the brightest candle on the birthday cake.

Science so far saved me from getting insane when encountering racist dumbfuck dipshits. Hope I can keep that up.

Sincerely,
Another bastard

The new leader of the opposition in Australia, Angus Taylor was described as being "Born with a silver foot in his mouth."

I think that a lot of Trump's MAGAts can be described the same way.
