We Used to Believe You

There was a time that we used to take so-called conservatives at their word. That the reason they believed things had a basis in fact, in reality. That they only hated Obama because he did this or that thing. That they hated Kamala because they had legitimate policy differences that materially affected their opinions and choices. That they could be persuaded with fact-based, persuasive arguments. But the facade has fallen.

Now I see the dark heart of the issue. It is racism and sexism, and always was. Calling Michele Obama a man and depicting her as monkey. Reducing Kamala Harris to pejoratives like “cacklemouth” while ignoring her absolute fitness and preparedness for the job. The complete abandonment of previous so-called constitutional principles as soon as their leader said he wanted to defy them, including the push for a 3rd presidential term. The full on embrace of corruption and fraud, accusing the “Biden crime family” of graft, while having zero proof of any of it, and then saying nothing while the Trump family, with evidence out the wazoo, has their hands in billions of dollars worth of fraud and self-dealing. Saying that Biden wasn’t religious and then choosing the most godless man that possibly exists as their standard-bearer.

We used to think you had principled objections to things. But now we know better.
