    I don’t even know why they’re called conservatives if they don’t conserve anything other than their frail egos.

      They’re conserving their bank accounts and conserving the traditional values of 300 years ago.

        But traditionally women weren’t allowed to portray women. Men had to dress in drag to portray women. If they are all for traditional values then I demand more dresses on more men.

    Reminded me of an old joke, (no idea it’s origins.)

    A programmer finds a genie -

    genie “You have 3 wishes”

    Man: “I wish for a trillion dollars”

    Genie “done”

    Man “I wish I had a hot girlfriend”

    Genie “dude just ask your crush.”

    Man “I’m scared of planes, so I wish for a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive there”

    Genie “come on, do you realize how much engineering and logistics that will take. Not to mention all the international permits I’ll have to deal with. Try something easier”

    Man “okay, ummm…I wish my program UI was understood by everyone who uses it”

    Genie “how many lanes?”

    It would be even nicer if Conservatives stopped being Conservatives. The Overton Window needs to be moved way more to the left.

    ITT: people dealing with a fascist the way it should be done. We are ready for a time machine, let’s go back to 2016.
