Lol yep. I got the boot from there by posting everything trump did that wasn't following conservative principles. You'd think they would want to know about it. They don't. They still think trump is for them, it's hilarious

This is because they don’t have principles. They have interests.

Their interest is not admitting they're wrong. They know they are but at this point it's sunk cost.

At this point they're just going to blame Hunter Biden's dong, immigrants, and poor people

Online yes, but in the real world they have financial and power interests that they are promoting and forcing on the rest of us. It’s class warfare and right now they’re winning

But the Muskrat billionaires would like to have their own special blend of content moderation on Reddit for everyone else.

If he is owning the libs, they do not care how he does it. Anything that upsets Dems is good.

That is exactly what this is. The 'GOP' is no more; the party usurpation is now complete and set in stone. What today is masquerading as the 'republican party' in America is anything but. I challenge anyone who'd voted R this past presidential election to simply Google the early warning signs of fascism and take an honest inventory of what currently is perpetuated by their party.

I guarantee most of them will however allow their emotions to intervene, prohibiting an honest inspection of the warning signs. Most will deny, reject, dismiss. They will whataboutism out of any potential accurate recognition of their and their party's faults mirrored in the warning signs. And this is a key part of what allows fascism to rise -- they reject what does not comport with what they 'feel.'

Most of them, their entire "interest" is "fuck them people over dere".

They do have principles it's just distinctly not conservative. It's reactionary and anti intellectual.

I feel like the core of MAGA is being mad at educated people telling you what to do. But that ideology leaves bo rooms for experts of their own.
