Has anyone seen this guy after he was washed away by the tsunami of irony?
/not conservative
Conservatism: because who wouldn’t want to go back to a world where taxes didn’t exist and your lunch was packed for you?
And yet the same person who would vociferously claim that they weren’t shielded from *anything* growing up and that is yet another reason why their generation is the greatest and if you’re younger, then you obviously just don’t understand how the real world works
Now wait a minute. The conservative I live with tells me that my liberal beliefs make me juvenile and that I need to become more conservative (because “that’s what happens when people mature”).
Are you telling me that’s nonsense and this person is actually projecting their own insecurities onto me?
You’re not after “The goid old days”, you’re after “The good old you”.
…is this why they’re so authoritarian? They want a father figure to take on all the complexity for them and tell them what to do?
Trump is the manifestation of their father who did not like them either. This is Conservatism later in life define and acted out.
It’s also infatuation with nostalgia where everything was better back in the day when in reality it wasn’t it was much much worse.
That, and you hate way too much!
Children don’t want to control women in a weird religious way.
Childlike is ok. Childish is not
Loved this. Thx Doc.
A lot of conservatives will say they long for a time that is usually set about 5-10 years before they’re born. They don’t just want to go back to childhood, they want to go back to the time their parents told them was better: before they existed. They long to fulfill their unhappy parents dreams of a reality before the burdens of parenthood and responsibilities.
Honestly, it is pretty spot on. Look at how they handle adversity & being caught doing something wrong as an example. Especially the latter. “Timmy did it too!!!” They act just like what you would expect from children.
