Whenever the MAGA refers to "America" or "the United States" they are ALWAYS referring to Trump himself.

After seeing the version of the United States they want, I'm okay with it ending.

American here, I fully agree

A non-exhaustive list of what conservatives say will end the United States:

Tariffs

Socialism

Trans people

Gay marriage

Obamacare

Abortions

Immigration

Mail in voting

Civil Rights

Women voting

Ending slavery

Tariffs

Well, that's what they used to say prior to Taco, showing what good little authoritarians they truly are.

Now they say that ending Taco's tariffs will end America. 🤯

Nothing makes me more interested in socialism than when conservatives explain all the awful things that are socialism. Universal healthcare, you say? Free education? Feeding children and homeless people? Tell me more about how terrible socialism is... I'm almost there....

Keeping things the same as they were before would be the "end of the United States"?

How many times have I asked why people thought it was right to be conservative, and they said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," or something along those lines?

Now, I guess they're just throwing that whole pretext out, as well. Not that I ever believed people really thought that way. Try and find a conservative who doesn't lie about what they believe.

I don’t think they believe anything. They know they should feel the same as their in-group, or they’re out. Everything they say is like an octopus inking everywhere. A distraction.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

“If it ain’t broke(for me) don’t fix it!” They like being on top, and conservatism gives them that. It also hands out a lot of pain to other people but they don’t care about that.

[-] vividspecter@aussie.zone 2 points 4 weeks ago

Not only do they not care, inflicting harm is the entire point for these people.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

What they are trying to conserve is not how it is, it's how it was.

You know, back before the Civil War when they could own people.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 4 weeks ago

Back when taxes for rich people were about 80%? And a family could live comfortably on a single salary. Or be wealthy with a job with a degree requirement? Oh, not those times, just the slaves, huh.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

My word, these people are just so delusional.

[-] finitebanjo@piefed.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Honestly might considering they've cut taxes so much and lost so much faith in American securities that this loss of revenue could send the states over the edge.

Would the US be better or worse off if someone fed Peter Navarro into a wood chipper on live TV?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
