   Lunch w/ boomer "conservative" (his words not mine) is real fun, I got to hear gems like

   "y'know, our side cares more about black lives than they do! And then they got real angry because we have the balls to say ALL lives matter!!!"

   "yeah I'm just a little disappointed we don't have any ladies of our own in the running, the other side gets to say they have the first woman president"

   "I don't know about that chevron thing, it's pretty dangerous just getting rid of laws left and right willy nilly"

     When I point out that these guys are "just 2012 democrats in every way that counts" they get all pissy until we get through their belief system: Pro-gay marriage (as long as it's just them living who'm I to judge?), pro-regulation, pro-tax, pro-social security, pro-black, pro-gun control, it all shows how effective the media has been on them.

     They think they're right wing when they live and breathe the same ideology that first term obama did

     "I'm traditional, I'm conservative" they say, but when you say you won't allow your kids to be taught, babysat, or interact with homosexuals and trannies they balk because "that's a little much, you can't just judge EVERYONE like that, there are plenty of good ones too! There are tons of conservative gays, and trans people too!"

     I had a similar experience with "John Wayne tough guy conservatives". I've taken to calling them liberals. Watch how they recoil in horror.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot That's the power of the Overton Window. As it moves Left, the Right becomes more Left, which gives the Left room to be even MORE Left.

     If the Republicans win, they'll legalize all the Hispanic immigrants to "own the libs" because they're Catholic, and somehow they'll vote Republican if the threat of deportation is taken off the table.

     Everyone will clap as they set their country on fire.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot That is "right wing".

     "Left wing" advances the system's objectives and continues to push boundaries.

     "Right wing" consolidates on the new normality that the "Left wing" pushed for and cements it as the new bedrock.

     One advances, the other protects the rear.

     You can't be truly against the system, against jews, etc, without disposing of late 18th century French parliament terms and thinking outside of the box.

     Here's the 2008 Democrat platform, if you want to skim it and get an idea for what your dad probably raged against back then. It's all empty word slop but it's good for a refresher at what the "left" used to at least pretend to desire. Now it's all gone with the roastiocracy https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2008-democratic-party-platform

     "conservatives are just liberals of 10 years ago".
     
     Some "conservatives" are already tolerant towards child transitioning.
     
     10 years by now they'll say that maybe you deserve to go to prison if you mod your neurolink to show bug fries and serotonin pills ads every 20 mins instead of every 5.
