unrestrained conservatism generally leads to Fascism

"Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are" comes to mind with the republicans an awful lot. That or "cunts of a feather..." Wait.

The party for Real Americans with Republican values!

the republican party is now worse than the banner below:

Stop making Liz a martyr. She made Trump possible, the Republicans suck horse cock.

Is this one of those spot the difference pictures...I think I see the one difference.

He did NOT pay for sex with minors. Minors can not consent. He paid to rape children.

i wonder when 'Heil Trump' will be mandatory in the GOP. Looks like we reached that state now.
RhinosRfatUnicorns
The irony is, the Republican party is no longer conservative.

Let's not lionize her. Aside from this, she has been horrendous.
Seanspeed
If you vote Republican, you're garbage. No exceptions. You're a shit human being.
crateo
When you are trying to convince anyone i would open the debate with another argument, maybe.
Seanspeed
If I'm arguing with a Republican voter, I dont give a fuck. They're fucking lost. They're morons. It's the non-voters I will worry about.

republican conservatism has been dead since Bill Clinton hijacked their fiscal policies in the 90s.
TenguKaiju
Both parties keep moving right. I agree with the guy who said Obama was the best republican president since Ike.

They're sweeping it aside and hoping legal will sort it out. If he, somehow, survives it they'll pretend it never happened.
rowingrowingrowing
They are already shoving it down a memory hole. Did you see the congressional testimony today? GOP calls rioters “peaceful patriots.”
ImGur8
Is there any proof of this or is this just Hearsay?
GurdenRabsyKittenKnightbears
https://youtu.be/QpDIJHWg0Pw if you believe what Legal Eagle says, yes.
tacoprincess
I’d say his cohort Joel Greenburg writing a whole ass letter detailing everything they were up pretty decent proof. As well as the
tacoprincess
statements made by others involved, like the girls and people working in the driver’s license office who saw them making IDs.
tacoprincess
And Gaetz’s Venmo transaction history.
KennyBlankenshipandVicRomano
It would be hearsay if it was someone saying, “I heard that Greenberg confessed to XYZ”; it’s not hearsay when Greenberg says, “we did XYZ”
ImGur8
Have we seen this letter? Or have we just seen reports that he aledgedly wrote one?
ImGur8
You're talking about Joel Greenberg, the former tax collector for Florida’s Seminole County who was indicted last summer on a vast array1/2
ImGur8
2/2 vast array of charges including sex trafficking a minor, bribery, stalking" that guy?
Groovechild
I don't think conservativism is dead; there's a place for it in our lives. The GOP's version of it is, or should be, dead. We can only hope.
VitaminJay
Conservatism has held the US in the 1850s while every other country is running rings around them. It's time to move forward.
Groovechild
I guess I mean, being conservative like, a counterbalance so we don't trade one echo chamber for another.
VitaminJay
There's a difference between 'slow and steady' and 'crossing your arms and refusing any change'.
Groovechild
Yeah, the GOP should change how they identify themselves; no longer Republicans or conservatives but Obstructionists. Pure and simple.
CaldariBob
I wish the Soviets hadn't debased the word "reactionary". It really applies.
realrealluckless
I really don't get how Republican politicians can stand there and NOT instantly distance themselves from the likes of their recent problems.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Because they like it?
xMCioffi1986x
It's been made clear that distancing themselves will mean their party will ostracize them.
realrealluckless
Yeah, but why the hell wasn't distancing the party from the nutjobs not the party's core stance from the get go?
Imafishwithlegs
It really is a cult now, Trump is their false idol and the hill theyre willing to die on.
Seanspeed
Trump has changed everything. He normalized awfulness.
Comet260
Notice how the right didn't REALLY lose it's mind till we elected a black dude to the WH. Twice.
AsianLeprechaun
The shitty thing is that Cheney, like Romney is a pretty awful politician on not insurrection issues. It just shows how far the Rs 1/

Exactly, let’s not make her out to be a hero just because she being honest now. She helped create very problem she is now forced to confront

Yeah but she won't grovel at Trumps feet so she's out.

GOP goes full fascist is a pretty big story.
Eliwoodthegoothoonter
I weep for mild conservatism in this country. Seems to be a dying breed
AllisDashChalmersWasAnInsideJob
Same, but Biden is pretty much the same thing, now that the unpopular whackjobs keep losing elections and still grip power
Cheomesh
They're called Democrats.
bottledham
I really hope they form a new centrist party. Manchin, Murkowski, Collins, probably some House moderates. They'd need star power to make it
Rhythmaster
Yeah, and If those people you mentioned have anything going for them, its star power! /s
Askingforafriend37
Romney?
b1candy2
Those are your centrists? Sound like far right from here in Europe. Democrat fiscal policy is to the right of Nixon right now
clutchthepearls
That's Biden and Obama. Still here.
Eliwoodthegoothoonter
Let me rephrase that. Mild conservatives in the Republican Party. Hell I’ve got all ideas at this rate the republicans will be our 1/2
Eliwoodthegoothoonter
Fastest path to a three party system. Either that or they’ll continue using the GOP to push everyone left of hitler to “socialism”
Maverickaura
no, all that will happen is some gop members will leave the party, and the nutjobs will replace them with other nutjobs and still get votes>
AllisDashChalmersWasAnInsideJob
Liz Cheney was not what I would consider a mild Conservative and she was ousted. I'm pretty sure "Republicans" wear the GQP badge proud now
Cargobiker530
Matt Gaetz & Trump are the conservative leaders conservatives demand. Rapey, stupid, & fraudulent is who they really are.
hitthatbomb
Been 3 months, when does his trial begin?
BrawndoTheThirstMutilatorIsWhatPlantsCrave
you say rapey, stupid, and fraudulent. they hear sexually successful, smart, and financially successful
VicinoOrsini
Their blueprint is Mussolini and they don't bother to pretend otherwise
AllisDashChalmersWasAnInsideJob
Bigoted, and "just asking questions" blowhard garbage.
Stefnos
you forgot pedophile... like all thire religious leaders
TheDreadLordOfDownvotes
Conservatives and Republicans are two different things. Just b/c someone is conservative, doesn’t mean they support the Republican Party...
persianwrangler
Ok, but what good do self professed conservatives stand for? Their ideology is to block progress. They ally with Repubs to achieve that goal
TheDreadLordOfDownvotes
https://www.britannica.com/topic/conservatism has a decent summation of conservatism. You say what “good” but anything I say will be put...
TheDreadLordOfDownvotes
...through your own subjective idea of good and bad. So, it’s pointless to start dishing out examples. The point is, liberal and conservs...
TheDreadLordOfDownvotes
...are both requirements for a functioning democracy that requires compromise. Let one side run amok, and you have problems.
TheDreadLordOfDownvotes
...it’s like the square/rectangle thing: All Republicans are Conservatives but not all Conservatives are Republicans.
BastardMan1977
Don't forget they also let their glorious leader get away with inciting an insurrection on American soil
realargonwolf
It was more of a tantrum than an insurrection, but I've no doubt he would've loved it to become a coup somehow.
Brutsarge
It was a treasonous attempt to overthrow our government. They intended to take hostages (remember zip tie guy) and do god knows what to them
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
And raping a 13 year old among many many others. Cant wait until Q tells us who the rEaL rapists are though
Imademyselfsquirtle
If they outted all cunty slimy cunts like Matt, there would be 0 republicans.
IDontKnowTHIRDBASE
And cheered when he said he grabs women by the pussy
martinomander5
It's not the Republican party anymore. It's the Trump party, and I propose we call it that from now on.
RoryBlack1
reason some countries call them republicunts.
GQPisadeathcult
The pussies that downvote truthful posts should be required to speak up. The claim the Imgur is all liberal but clearly they are here.
lighterletter
They're open traitors trying to use the system against itself for monetary gain
i2ocker89
Somehow, this isn't immediately taken care of.....United States seems badly broken beyond repair without a revolution of sorts...
Willowknowsall
And paying for sex, and allegedly sex with a minor that can't "prove" it happened when she was a 13yr old being trafficked
Anonypuss
Get away with? more likely they cheered it on
Lepidopterous
And against the US Capitol no less
FetteredJuvenescence
That's OK though. See, democrats aren't Americans. They were taking America back for Americans, obviously.
sightlab
Oh you mean the one that didn’t even happen that was all violent BLM but was a totally peaceful chit-chat among pals?
dposton70
You think the live video was what? Staged?

What? That little thing?
heywoodjabme
It wasn’t even a real insurrection....more insurrection light really.

Not all heroes wear capes
Lexgeddon
Turns out a surprising number wear masks, though.
thatsbadmmkay
Under-rated comment.
trapperjohnmd
An insurrection aimed at killing some of them. Spineless hypocritical cowards. Imagining voting for these people as your representative.
FatherAlexanderAnderson
Just opens the door in 2024 for it to happen again. Mark my words, the peaceful transfer of power as a thing of the past. Thanks, Drumph.
oddoregano
It's how Hitler did it. He's following in his foot steps.
FatherAlexanderAnderson
Odds are, since he doesn't freaking read, he learned about Hitler in military school and decided "hey that seems like a swell kind of guy"
oddoregano
He has publicly admitted to owning mein kampf and keeping copies of hilters speeches in a bed side cabinet.

Gaetz needs to think about twats that don't age well...
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Dude doesn't like anything that's aged.
HypnoJack
Incorrect. He likes them aged at about 17 years.
jfmh1073
Can anyone speak to what the original tweet that “didn’t age well” is about more specifically?
outtaleftfield
It’s more about his screwing around with underage girls...I think anyway
ThisOldCPU
Correct, it's a direct shot at Gaetz due to the investigation where his partner in crime has flipped and already wrote his confession.
outtaleftfield
Thanks! And the best part is the guy wrote it when T was still prez, to get a pardon so it’s not just “made up” at the last minute
justeandj
The original tweet was Kinzinger telling Gaetz he was wrong about Liz Cheney being ousted back in Feb when they tried the first time.
