Here are the arguments or reasons that I will no longer accept from the right, because they fight for them or believe in them only when it’s the other side.

1. For the children: They don’t care to do anything to lower the rate at which they are shot in school. They actively protect and cover up for child sexual predators. They don’t think kids have any right to expect to not starve in the richest country in the history of the world. I will no longer accept this as legitimate.
2. The Constitution: Let’s see: selling pardons, accepting lavish gifts from foreign governments, end of due process, forcing religion into schools and government, and the list goes on and on. In fact, the only consistent Constitution argument is about the 2nd amendment, but I am fully confident that if the Maga president says “take the guns and go through due process later” and took the guns, MAGA would bend over and gladly take it. They’ve already shown they will sacrifice their kids (guns, Epstein) and grandparents (Covid), so I have no doubt they will sacrifice anything and everything. And that is why I will no longer accept “but the Constitution” as a valid argument.
3. The deficit/debt: Not only have Republican presidents been responsible for the vast majority of the deficit debt, they’ve presided over practically all of the financial crashes that have occurred over the last 50 years. Yet when a Republican is in power, nary a word has been spoken about how much the deficit explodes when they are in power. Not to mention when they are in power the unemployment levels go up, the spending levels go up, and the GDP declines. The idea that they are better stewards of the economy is farcical on its face.

You chose the MAGA party because you didn’t want to expose your children to things like “trans” or “gay”, and now you’re having to endure the most vile sex scandals I could even imagine. Almost the entire government is implicated in the biggest child rape and trafficking ring ever discovered on American soil, and one of its ringleaders is the President.

Do you tell your kids to be like him? Surely not. Do you tell your kids NOT to be like him? Then how do you explain your vote?

Is it the abortion thing? Voting for the ringleader of a child rape syndicate and self-admitted serial sexual predator is better than someone who supports a woman’s right to choose over the government’s control of a woman’s body? How do you square these things? And what you got wasn’t outlawing of abortion nationwide. You got state’s rights. So you just need to travel to a state that allows it. Is that what you fought for? What you lied for? What you sacrificed your children and grandparents for?

And how about your ability to recruit or witness? There’s not a single sane individual out there that believes anything you say anymore, believes that you have any kind of moral authority on anything, that believes that you have any moral standing whatsoever. I was worried after the election that people would start running to religion, but I’m not worried anymore. In fact, the exit from religion could very well accelerate now that so many Christians can’t pluck up the courage to exhibit a little empathy, or demand justice for pedophiles, or speak out against greed and corruption, or fight for values like integrity, honor, and truthfulness against the most corrupt group ever elected in American history. You squandered all that for a taste of temporary power.

And the idea that your morality is “unchanging” is in absolute tatters, as you follow to the letter exactly what the MAGA party says you do. Guns don’t need controls because MAGA says so. In the 90s you were pro gun control. Who do you think led the fight against assault weapons after the Columbine massacre? You did. You used to be against greed. Now you’re pro-capitalism and your motto seems to be, “Fuck you, I’ve got mine.” You used to be advocate for the poor, one of the few things that is unequivocally the same throughout the old and new testaments, and now, they’re a nuisance to be swept away, to be ignored, to be shamed. You used to be anti-gambling, but you gave up on that and now a large portion of the country seems to be consumed with betting of all types, especially sports betting.

All this because you believed that politics wasn’t about policy where there are always tradeoffs, but was a holy war in which no cost was too high to pay. And any decline that you suffer, any slights that you endure, and any psychological wounds you might encounter, no one will have the slight bit of sympathy for you, because you used the Bible as an axe to attack the vulnerable instead of a shield to protect the weak, a weapon instead of a peacemaker, and a instrument of torture rather than a blanket of comfort.

As often claimed when taking control away from a woman over her own body and that control given to Christo-fascist nation-state actors (stolen from a reddit comment):

“If kids/life were actually sacred, healthcare wouldn’t be optional, vaccines wouldn’t be political, and poverty wouldn’t be fatal.”

And if I could add to the “protecting children” fake rhetoric, may I also add:

• We wouldn’t need bullet-proof backpacks or active shooter drills
• We would lower the barriers to adoption
• We would not use the power of religious communities to ostracize vulnerable LGBT children
• We would be going after child molestation/rape cabals, not covering up for them, actively and passively (Epstein/Trump)
• We would not be breaking up families to pursue meaningless deportation numbers

I think the scariest (and frankly saddest) thing I’ve learned over the past few years of watching MAGA and their kkkult in action is that at their core, they don’t believe in anything, with perhaps 2 exceptions, those exceptions possibly being gun ownership and abortion restrictions.

So let me define what I mean “believe in” here…I mean, principles, philosophies, etc. that extend beyond a political party. For example, do they believe in protecting children? I would vehemently argue that answer is no, for multiple reasons. First, they only believe in protecting fetuses, not children already alive. You would think a “protecting children” belief would extend to protecting them from being shot in school, or preventing them from acquiring preventable diseases like measles, or preventing them from starving by using the unlimited money the USA possesses to provide children one guaranteed free meal at school. None of those things are true. From a regulatory standpoint, they only seem to care to legally circumscribe abortion and birth control, which heavily implies that their concern is about how people have sex, not any inherent concern for “children.” Not only that, but they have been actively covering up for a child sex abuser in DJT and the offenders in their churches.

The second possibility is that they believe in gun ownership with virtually no limitations, but again, I don’t believe it. Only the Democratic party has made any overtures to limit gun ownership in any way, and they only suggested that we tighten the rules about owning terror weapons, and even though polling indicates there is wide support for this amongst all Americans, the MAGA party blocked any attempt to pass legislation. However, I full believe that if a MAGA president were to say, “Hey, we’re coming for your guns,” that the cult would immediately turn around and bend over. Or they might complain, but they would reward the political party by continuing to vote for them in elections. The propaganda is so deep that they truly believe that all the Democratic party cares about is killing babies and making sure trans girls can compete in women’s sports.

So aside from those two points, there is no coherent ideology behind conservatism: it’s just mask-off racism, sexism, and refusal to adapt or change. There’s absolutely nothing admirable about it…it’s opposition for opposition’s sake.

To end this thought piece, here’s more reddit comments from a post on r/LeopardsAteMyFace detailing some users’ thoughts on X/Twitter from Politico where this quote originates: “X is a post-apocalyptic cesspool of bots, pedophilia and political illiteracy.”

“Conservatives hate conservative only social media. The whole point of being a conservative is to be that asshole that gets attention by being rude as shit. It’s not effective in a barrel full of assholes.”

and

“They need enemies to function because the “movement” is entirely outrage and grievance. Rather than debating any actual policy, they attack each other.”

Here’s a couple of blocks of text from Reddit that had me chuckling, or thinking.

in a post on r/politics referring to the article “Trump’s Second Term Has Ended the Conservative Era”, which details an opinion piece from the NYT:

“MAGA in it’s (sic) unhinged madness is exactly what I thought Conservatives would do once they had enough power to dispense with all the erudite bullshitting and pretense of old-timey civility. The NYT can go fuck themselves for providing cover to Conservatives by continuing to play along with the lie.”

MAGA is mask-off Conservatism.“

And this is from another r/politics post of a news media article called “Trump’s letter to Norway proves it: he’s lost his mind over the Nobel Peace Prize” where they talk about Trump’s direct quote that the reason he’s taking Greenland is because he’s mad at Norway for not giving him the Nobel Peace Prize. To be fair, he’s not mad at Norway for not giving him the prize, he’s mad at them for giving it to Obama, but not him. So a user writes,

“Dear Donald,

Norwegian Nobel committee here. Not sure why you sent a letter to the PM who has nothing to do with the prize. It’s not awarded by ‘Norway’, it’s awarded by a committee working on behalf of a dead Swede. We have read your letter carefully and analyzed the situation and concluded that we will not, ever, award you a peace prize. We will however award two more to Barack Obama, who also gets an additional three to give to friends and family. In fact, this time we made sure the Obama family dog also got one. Enjoy your weekend”

I mean, they long ago stopped trying to hide it, but now the most corrupt administration (and sycophantic members of Congress) in American history is just straight-up taking it for themselves. Specifically, Trump is putting the recent sale of $500 million into Qatari banks. And that lie outside the reach of American institutions, which seems very strange. Why can’t American banks hold the money? Because it is a “neutral location from which the funds could be freely and safely moved without risk of seizure.” I guess that’s a strange government-speak code-way to say “embezzle.”

He’s funneling half a billion dollars from assets he seized using the US Military into accounts he personally controls. Into banks operated outside the world banking system and whose monarch “gifted” him a Boeing jet.

If anyone on the right says a goddamn word about Hunter Biden, I swear to fucking Christ it will take all of my Christian patience to not full on punch them in the face.

Here are a couple of snopes.com verifications of files released with the Epstein files. According to reports, the Department of Justice, recently renamed to the Department of Vengeance, has only released 1% of the files required by law.

First off, Trump was the accomplice to infanticide, according to this account. The complainant also wrote in this account that Trump “participated regularly in paying money to force me to [redacted] with him and he was present when my uncle murdered my newborn child and disposed of the body in Lake Michigan.”

2nd, it turns out that when Trump admitted to grabbing them “by the pussy”, that was not a one-off, that was actually his M.O. and he had a nickname that reflected that. He was said to “grab snatch” in a jailhouse letter Epstein wrote to Larry Nassar, a known child molester, in reference to Trump.

Only the finest people.

This guy works so hard. I guess they had to lay off the speed they had him on during the late campaign and the early part of his “reign”. Now we’re back to Grandpa StinkyPants who falls asleep during anything where he has to sit. And this was during his own Cabinet meeting! As always, calling Biden “Sleepy Joe” was just projection.

Let me explain. Every time Trump complains about mail-in ballots, it reminds me…oh right, COVID happened during the election of 2020. And during that time, an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots were filled out. And Trump lost that election. So let me explain my reasoning behind this. These reasons explain the anomalies that continue to arise about that (and the 2024) election.

Republicans gained access to voting machines heading into the 2020 election. And as Elon Musk has said, every computer can be hacked. On election night itself, Trump confidently declared victory until Fox News announced Arizona for Biden. Then the shitshow started. Within a day or two, it was clear that Biden had won, and that there were a lot of mail-in ballots which helped contribute to that. And it sent MAGA into a tailspin. They sued in every swing state where he had lost, including Michigan where Trump lost by 150K votes. And in every single case, the suits were thrown out. But that wasn’t the real story. The real story was that after Trump lost, he incited a riot and attempted coup in Washington D.C. which killed 5 people, attempted to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, and caused chaos throughout the nation’s capital. And people at the rally were calling for (and visually representing) the death of Pence by building a gallows with his effigy on it.

But even that wasn’t the end of the story, because Trump and his MAGA kkkult insisted over and over and over that the 2020 election was “rigged”. And it got me to thinking, “What if it was?” It seems to entirely fit the known facts and the behavior of Trump that he expected to win the election. And if you know Trump, you know that he never forgets when he loses any amount of money or somehow is on the receiving end of getting cheated out of money. And his behavior entirely aligns with that assumption—that he paid to rig the election, expected to win the election, and when he didn’t, he pointed at mail-in ballots as the cause. It all fits.

And so move on to 2024. Now he’s got Musk on his side and his team of unethical hackers. And he said something extremely strange for someone who had just won an election fairly: Elon Musk knows ‘those vote counting computers’. Now why would he say that instead of voting machines? Because he knows that the voting tabulators are the weak link. And even though voting machines themselves are not connected to the internet, as this article states, “ballot tabulators are briefly connected to the internet to transmit results when polls close.” And all it would take is a simple code change in the machines, or a man-in-the-middle attack to alter vote counts.

And check out Elon’s comments before the election: “the last thing I would do is trust a computer program, because it’s just too easy to hack.”, talking about voting machines. And he chose to go after Dominion voting machines, and only in counties where Republicans lost. It makes sense to me that Republicans have rigged voting machines or tabulators in areas they control. But in areas they don’t control, they always get super butthurt when they lose, as if there are not legitimate reasons people wouldn’t want to vote for fascist religious extremists to lead a government of all people.

And then 2024 rolls around. Amazingly, Trump “won” all the swing states. In Michigan, in a state where he lost by 150K votes, he magically gained 250K votes after he had been convicted of sexual assault and 30-something other felonies, as well as indicted in Georgia for electoral fraud (“find me x number of votes”) and nationally for election crimes. I saw nothing during that time period that should have changed people’s minds that much over such a short period of time. And a con man who has lived as a flimflam purveyor his whole life, doesn’t change his stripes and become “honest”. They use any and all means to get the result they want. And liars don’t get blind trust. From me, anyway.

And it turned out exactly how you thought it would. They turned her down. Or pawned her off. Or made excuses. And the ones that did respond positively? A mosque. An African American church. And so on. The mega churches that rake in millions in tithes and donations? Nothing or given the runaround. Or told to go ask for government help, a hilarious comment from people who 98% of the time decry government healthcare and food programs, even for children. I promise you, churches are not in the business of improving lives, in fact, the worse people’s lives are, the better they do.

And I’ll tell you what. That was the exact same experience I had, except that these people were supposed to be my friends. These were people I grew up with, and when I lowered myself to ask for help with food on facebook, because I was literally starving, and not a single so-called “Christian” stepped up to even offer moral support, much less what I really needed–a meal. And I see their photos all the time–I promise you, they are not missing meals. And not that religious affiliation matters, but the people that helped me were a muslim and some religiously non-affiliated people.

I had given churches the benefit of the doubt as to their actually offering some sort of positivity to America, but every day I’m convinced more and more of the opposite: 1) That they simply reinforce what people already believe, having abandoned much of what the Bible actually teaches 2) That they offer no substantive benefit to society (helping the poor, comforting widows, fighting for the little guy) 3) That they are a net negative to society based on their pervasive and life-altering behavior towards LGBT children, and children in general, based on their repeated coverups of child abuse, molestation, and sexual assault if they are part of the group.

And that last point shows complete moral bankruptcy. If you’re willing to allow children to be abused or even worse, cover it up, in order to increase your power, you are not and should not be a moral arbiter of anything. You should not enjoy tax-exempt status. You should not enjoy any other privileges other than those afforded to regular orgs, and probably should not enjoy any favored status whatsoever. No one really cares if people believe in talking snakes, but unless you’re positively contributing to society for all people, then we should stop deferring to them.
