Conservative is essentially a metaphor for American.
Progressive or democrat means communist or anti-American.
Many conservatives, real ones, are not racists. I have friends and people who have helped me in life who are conservatives. I may disagree with their politics because I believe there is a place for responsible government, but that does not change their fundamental goodness as people. Real conservatives are about smaller government and fiscal responsibility. I am all for not wasting tax dollars. But these fakes who have hijacked the term are about white power and cutting anything they perceive gives nonwhites equal opportunity. That is not conservatism; it is racism.
None of you MAGATS are conservatives. But in one aspect you have admitted an inconvenient truth. You do represent what America has always been; a racist, sexist, misogynistic am elitist cesspool of white male preference and privilege. That is what this country was really founded on. That is why only rich white men with property had rights according to the original intent of the founders.
“It is certain in theory, that the only moral foundation of government is the [agreement] of the people, but to what an extent shall we carry this principle? Shall we say, that every individual of the community, old and young, male and female, as well as rich and poor, must [agree] to every act of legislation?...
Is it not equally true, that men in general in every society, who [are poor and do not own property], are also [unfamiliar] with public affairs to form a right judgment, and too dependent upon other men to have a will of their own? …Few men, who have no property, have any judgment of their own. They talk and vote as they are directed by some man of property, who has attached their minds to his interest.
Depend upon it, sir, it is dangerous to open [such a] source of controversy and altercation, as would be opened by attempting to [change] the qualifications of voters. There will be no end of it. New claims will arise. Women will demand a vote. Lads from 12 to 21 will think their rights not enough attended to, and every man, who has not a [dime], will demand an equal voice with any other in all acts of state. It tends to confound and destroy all distinctions, and [surrender] all ranks, to one common level.”
-John Adams to James Sullivan, 26 May 1776.
Ever since this nation started those rich white men have dangled an apple in front of you dumb asses using race to keep you compliant.
You MAGATS love blaming Johnson for things, but I guess that's because to knew what the deal was when he said this:
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
And that is exactly what Trump has done to you morons. The belief in white supremacy is the greatest race hustle ever, and you MAGATS are nothing but marks getting played while the race hustlers like Trump use race to get rich. What do you get out of it? Paying more and more for everything. But at least you can say that you're white.
So the next time you fill up that tank don't take any money with you. When its time to pay, tell the cashier, that you're white and see how much that pays for your gas.
