It's been a long game to get to this point, but the conservatives I know are completely isolated from reality at this point. They ONLY watch X and newsmax...Fox is too liberal for them these days.
All that douchbaggery has been scrubbed away in a very effective and sophisticated social engineering campaign over the last decade or so.
The cult leader can do no wrong.
This is why you lost. The entire media complex bombards me with your messages every day. On all platforms, through most institutions. I can't throw a rock without hitting an opposing view, one opposing view.
If I disagree or question that view, I get banned. I'm not even the least bit conservative and I've had enough of it. Entertainment that "isn't for me", news that drowns out the real issues on trump with bleating about him being a rapist felon nazi.. the list goes on and on. It's one huge firehose of propaganda and I've simply tuned out.
You own the psyop machine and then cry about how everyone else isn't living in "reality". I had thought this would have been a wake up call for self-absorbed leftists but it's looking more and more like you are going to keep doubling down. You talk about a "cult" and yet many say the same thing about you. No republicans killed themselves over trump losing.
We all lost, dumbass. You're not messaging us from another planet, are ya?
PS: Except for maybe Musk, etc. Or maybe they just don't know it yet.
There you go assuming everyone is a progressive again. Reality has a "liberal" bias when you surround yourself in an echo chamber.
Humans are herd animals. The need to keep the herd going is a instinctual thing. The conservative view is very much self centered. It goes against our nature as a species.
Then we are certainly wired differently. I have no need to keep the "herd" going or to do what others demand beyond the practical. There is probably a collectivist vs individualist argument here too and the voluntary and involuntary aspects of cooperation herein.
But you need the herd to keep you going.
