It’s not so much “trust myself before any authority” for them, it’s “trust only legitimate (right wing) authority, and trust them completely”. What’s truly absurd about right wing politics, and it’s actually always been this way, this is not at all a recent development, is that they really believe that their leaders don’t make mistakes.

@trollslayer Well politicians who were being hypocritical not wearing masks and only put them on once they were aware they were on air.. Trying to bribe people to get it with fastfood and the eat out to help right after lockdown (they reduced food in restaraunts to half price, meaning hordes of people would flood in), the scandals with politicians having parties, the list goes on... I don't know a single person who died from Covid but I know a few who have been getting weird ass side effects after getting vaccinated.

@SamInAZ Do you have any judgement towards those that did get the shot, or those that suggested that you get it? I had no issues with the vaccine, nor with those who chose to not get it. I do have issues with those who are spreading lies regarding the vaccine, and those who want it to be mandated.

@trollslayer I understand why people took it. I mean, I have judgements as far as I think they shouldn't have, but as far as making moral judgements, no.

@whowasthatmaskedman My comment was not just about the politicians - it was mostly about the voters.

The base are like a borer infestation in a perfectly good house. They gradually erode the foundations while having no plans for what to do when the house has been destroyed.

@justanothername I had an ash tree killed by borers within 2-3 years. At the time I thought that if they if they weren't so aggressive, they could have co-existed with the tree rather than killing their larve's food source. I agree with you. They have pretty much destroyed their own party's core values.

One man, one word: TRUMP
I've been trying to think of an animal analog for the Republican/Trumpists and can't quite find one that matches really stupid and vicious carnivorous sheep. They hunt in packs, but also devour their own. Do hyenas do that?
The problem is, I think a real animal analog would go extinct pretty fast and not even leave a fossil record.

If you get rid of the racial conglomerate within the party, then things will change. But don't hold your breath. 🙂

@BohemianBabe I would never apologize to you, bud.

@BohemianBabe No. You wish.
