These loser fascists are so devoid of talent that it appears they’re just scraping the internet for what we say about them then turning it around to fit their narrative.
We’ve been calling conservatism a cancer for YEARS and he’s just using our own words as theirs.
As always, conservatives/regressives have no talent or creativity. They can only steal what others create or simply destroy.
If this nation actually brings justice back we’ll see this fascist on the chopping block.
This is how narcissists behave in their personal lives as well
All the “best” conservative arguments are just repurposed left-wing arguments that someone ran ctrl+f and replaced each identifying term with it’s counterpart.
The infuriating part is that the reason it works is because left-wing arguments are fundamentally structured better and are more compelling. At some point in the past, a lefty made that argument to the right-winger and they could feel that they were losing the argument, so they quietly adopted the aesthetic of the same argument and later deployed it like they came up with it themselves.
It’s why every right-wing argument has to construct a fiction where their enemy already holds all the power and has been in control for decades. Everyone can intuitively feel that they’re being scammed by an unfair system that’s rigged for the benefit of the wealthy. All right-wingers have to do is convince people that the structure of society can’t be blamed on the people with the power to shape it. They just need people to blame someone they’ve already been convinced to hate. Immigrants, minorities, queers, and anyone else who would tell them who their actual enemies are.
One easy way to tell the difference is that one makes their accusations based on documented facts and actions. The other makes their accusations based on the nature of the human being in question.
Additionally, that perceived nature is usually a caricature of the actual nature in the first place.
