They’ve always been hypocrites, and they always will be. Trump hasn’t changed this, he just knew how to manipulate it for his own personal gain.
“States’ rights”
Anyway, what’s up with that red dot?
PRO TIP: Most guns are highly effective with a red-dot sight. Easy to dial in, can’t hardly miss, like a cheat code for shooting. Just sayin’.
They never believed any of this stuff. It was always a smokescreen for misogyny, racism and homophobia.
They’ve never believed in anything but trying to be victims.
The believe in state’s rights, as long as they’re red states.
You always have to ask “what right specifically?”
The answer usually boils down to racism and/or slavery.
They never believed in any of that. They pretended to because that is what they felt was necessary in order to keep their grift going, but Trump has shown them that they don’t have to pretend anymore. They can openly grift and their voters will love them for it.
What they really believed
“Look how we owned the libs” they say as the boat sinks.
Maybe most Republican voters. Just because they were used as election buzzwords doesn’t mean they were goals. I challenge if any of them were as solid as advertised for the actual GOP party. They were useful as talking points. The difference now is that they don’t feel they have to pretend anymore to maintain power, the system is fully tilted and election promises aren’t needed.
They will adapt their stance as long as it will result in punishing perceived enemies. They would rather do harm to ‘lesser’ people than better things for everyone
Lots of those were gone well before Trump. I think a lot of centrists just started noticing more.
Russophobia kicks hard
If the russians behaved like civilized people and not cultureless barbarians who fucking torture POWs and civilians before killing them, then their public image MIGHT be better.
to the two downvoters, i cite a news article i read yesterday:
“He said that the first Ukrainian soldiers from reconnaissance who fell into Russian hands were tortured particularly brutally – their eyes were gouged out, their lips, ears, and noses were cut off, and their bodies were mutilated,”
This is from a guy who had his throat slit and was left for dead, but survived.
Fuck you two. It’s an open secret that the russians give no quarters.
Russophobia is a made up word by russia to downplay their warmongering.
