   Very frustrated with conservatives lately, maybe this is a big part of it.

   It just feels like the last 3 years have been an especially apparent, OVERT, HOW CAN YOU MISS THIS level of evidence. Talking to cons and hearing them say the same exact shit they did in year 1 of the Obama presidency just baffles me every day.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot it's really frustrating also to see many insist that the Big Thing currently in the news will finally pull the scales from their eyes.
     
     Conservatives legitimately believed that the election was stolen from Donald Trump. They whined, complained, and even did Jan 6th over it
     The conservative purports to believe that the democracy they live in is a complete sham, yet the continue to support party politics and democratic norms. Just vote harder it seems.
     
     Covid-19 and the vaccine rollout also seemed like another one of these opportunities. Infact, just like with the stolen election narrative many a wignat was scolded that not focusing on the vaccine was going to leave us behind the curve. Conservatives purported to realize that the government at all levels didn't just care about their opinions but whether the lives or died.
     
     Between these two crisis the conservative movement SHOULD have completely changed into an anti system ideology.
     
     Yet the conservative always wakes up the next day and just keeps getting "baffled" and "confused" and "besides himself"
     
     He can't explain why things are the way they are. The only bonus points he gets are for knowing it's all wrong on a certain level.
     
     But actually breaking things to fix it is impossible. The conservative is weak, cowardly, self-absorbed and hopelessly compromised.

     @JSDorn The one I bring up these days is quizzing people on Epstein.

     “lol epstein didn’t kill himself”

     “huh. Explain to me what got him killed? What function did he serve?”

     @WashedOutGundamPilot most conservatism really is just based around fear of change. that include change in a more traditionalist right wing direction. 90% of people who opposed legalizing gay marriage for the past 40 years would oppose re-illegalizing it for the same reason
