Some empathy for the Right

[MithrilKnight]

I was feeling disturbed by the complete unhinging of Conservative Americans, but then I thought: what if the shoe was on the other foot?

What if stockpiles of WMD had been found in Iraq instead of sand?
What if the Iraq war had actually ended six-years ago and their government paid us the $400 Billion for the monetary cost of the war? (assuming it'd be 1/2 the current dollar cost)
What if 10-years of tax cuts had led to the greatest expansion of US economy instead of one of the worst contractions?
What if a teacher happened to have brought a weapon to Sandy Hook and prevented a massacre with a single shot?
What if Trayvon Martin had had a gun and bag of stolen money instead of ice tea and a bag of skittles?
What if we discovered women really couldn't get pregnant after "legitimate rape"?


I do think I'd also be clawing for any possible iota of remaining relevance to my pre-existing belief system... my sympathies as ya'll struggle to come to grips.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Domestic government as Lord, Master and Savior has been an entrenched mindset for a very, very long period of time. That the so-called lybyryls (prygryssyves, whatever new term is being used this week) are no different, in this regard, from their so-called Conservative (aka fascist Libbie equivalents) brethren is self-evident fact.

Your empathy appears to be misplaced.

There isn't a day that goes by that the RWNJ's do not shoot themselves in the foot. Sadly, they prove over and over again it is politics over people.

What does that even mean?

Pity them, they're ill.

Their illness would make them lynch Black people, wage a failed war on drugs and forcibly take away the firearms of others. The politics of the fascist Libbie government firsters... over people.

It ain't rocket science.

As if all "fascists" are "Libbies"...

The myth of a two party system has trapped even your selfness.

We only have ONE royalty in this country... and they could care less about politics; they own both sides.

It ain't rocket science.

Then it should be well within your capacity to provide a ready definition.

One has yet to mention any so-called parties. One's terminology was carefully chosen in regards to ideological similitude and methodology of the government firsters. It is quite interesting to see some of the arguments propounded by the so-called Libbies of today in regards to the 'need' for government to curb the right to keep and bear arms. They are the exact same arguments made by 1960s era so-called Conservatives in the PRCa, urinating all over themselves at the idea of the Black Panthers marching on the PRCa State House, while armed.
