Hey, stupid, this thread isn’t about you. You were stupid as pig shit before Trump and will continue to be stupid as pig shit when he’s thankfully gone. ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > Somebody the other day had a good piece on anti-anti-Trumpers. Basically, conservatives who realize they can’t defend Trump, but in the absence of anything for them to be _for_ anymore, have joined with pro-Trumpers in the conservative safe space of liberal-bashing, because it’s the only thing they’ve got left. No meaningful policy agenda (other than to take health care away from people who need it but can’t afford it), a tantrum-throwing 70 year old child as leader of their party…yep, liberal-bashing is all they’ve got. Well that’s nothing new. Have you forgotten that opposing Bush’s attempt to conquer Iraq and commandeer its resources was met with “Why do you hate freedom?” and the like? They supported Bush but could not defend him, so they responded by whining about liberals. I don’t know why support of Trump is required before a Republican can be told to go fuck itself. Bush is gone, but the scum who supported him remain, and they’re not any less vile than they were 14 years ago. They’re quite a bit more so these days, in fact. “Go fuck yourself” should have been the default attitude toward the American right long before Trump came along. ---

Basically, conservatives who realize they can’t defend Trump, but in the absence of anything for them to be _for_ anymore, have joined with pro-Trumpers in the conservative safe space of liberal-bashing, because it’s the only thing they’ve got left. The thing about that is that electorally it IS a relatively safe space - a lot of the RW vote HAS for quite a while been driven by anti-Liberalism for its own sake. There are millions of voters out there who in the end will grit their teeth and bear the loss of health insurance, unemployment, sending their kids to die in wars, income erosion, etc. just so they can oppose godless leftism. ---

> [@John\_Stamos\_Left\_Ear](#): > > I mentioned this in the OP: “it’s oh so fun stiggin’ it to the Libs.” It used to be a debate about ideas, principals, and the different roads that are available to achieve the big ticket goals. Now, for a large number of right wingers, it’s just about the tribe. Trump is leader of Team Red and Team Red must be supported at all costs, therefore Trump will be defended regardless of personal feelings or disgust. Both sides have always had a tribal “Caesar can do no wrong” element, but it has consumed the right with the dominance of Rush, Fox News, and now Trump. ---

> [@ganthet](#): > > Both sides have always had a tribal “Caesar can do no wrong” element, but it has consumed the right with the dominance of Rush, Fox News, and now Trump. False equivalence. While the wingnuts loved to say Dems considered Obama the second coming, in the real world there was lots of bitching and moaning from the left about how the man was just too darn conservative. Bill Clinton caught the same shit. The Democratic Party is renowned for the infighting and disarray. This is really not a “both sides do it” moment. ---
