We had a brief reprieve in the Biden years, but pretty much ever since 2015 it’s been this way for me.
I always knew conservatives were way worse than the likes of David Brooks like to pretend they are. I grew up in a rural area, very very red, years before donnie came along. I moved out after college. But prior to that, I lived every day, surrounded by The Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair, with very few exceptions.
And even I was surprised by them going for the washed-up never-was and complete con-man that is donnie. Pretty much anyone that was paying attention at the time knew he was an asshole back in the 80s and 90s. Hell, he’s featured prominently as someone to worship by the protagonist in American Psycho. That’s no accident, and that book was written in 1991.
Even I thought the rubes might not go for this effete fake “businessman” that has a lengthy hair-and-makeup routine and is mostly known for trying to climb the social ladder as a Manhattanite…but nope, they were completely fooled by this guy. Probably because of the racism.
This country has gone from one embarrassment to another during his two failed terms, though.
At this point I’ve come to understand that he enables their racism and that is all that matters to them. The world could burn, but as long as they could let their racism feel accepted they’ll do whatever it takes.
I think you are right. I saw them absolutely besides themselves over “PC” back in the early 90s. Even with all the so-called “tyranny” of political correctness, you’d still see some dickhead say something egregiously racist, homophobic, sexist, whatever, and then say, “oops, I guess that’s not PC!” and think that was delightfully cute or something.
And then I saw their bullshit grievances reach fever pitch when they bitched and whined about conservatives being “censored” or “cancelled” in more recent years - lol, yeah, right. And then they cheered when Elon bought Xitter for the “free speech”, roftlmao.
But they really just want to be able to say the n-word. To tell racist jokes again, in public and without anyone giving them side-eye. I’m sure they were positively giddy when Pete Hegseth used the word tr__y.
But this really, really, really seems to be the primary motivator for them, and none of them have ever really been “censored” or “cancelled”.
I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
Oh, it was definitely the racism and mysogeny. “He says it like it is, just like me!” While at the same time Donnie is whining about immigrants, Muslims, eating dogs and cats, etc.
