They don't really want to live in the country these laws and rhetoric build, they just want to smear shit all over the walls in a tantrum because the world isn't giving them everything they want.

Putin wants to see Trump in power for exactly that reason. A barely coherent buffoon, rubbing his soiled diaper all over the walls of a bigger, nicer house full of people he hates.

It must be humiliating to see conservatives pushing a conservative agenda and have no response to it except "no you".

Have you even thought this through logically, or do you just bleat what you're told to?

If support having police search schools to ensure gender identity is suitably suppressed, you should be proudly taking credit for it as a conservative.

If you don't support it, conservatives have made it clear that this is their agenda and if you don't support it, you're no longer welcome among conservatives.

So what's it going to be? Are you going to openly support current Republican policies, pretend you do, pretend you don't, switch to the party you've been trying to throw your shit at or just not vote?

Is this really the corner you want to back yourself into for shit-tier jabs like "Must be a Democrat"?

He's the asshole's candidate. We don't need to politely pretend otherwise.

The only difference between the conservative Burundi government and the conservative American government is what they think they can get away.

He says it's out of fear of being poisoned, but he routinely tells incredibly obvious lies.

I think he just eats like the worlds most spoiled toddler because he wants to and picked the excuse with the most self-importance and bravado.

Realistically, there's no shortage of Christians who are just in it for the abuse. They like the way bigotry feels and the church gives them plenty of targets.

While this is definitely something people should do, be careful offering "the free market will fix it" as a solution -- it's pushed a solution by neoliberals exactly because it doesn't work.

In this particular case, ethical businesses may have already been pushed out of the market because the only way for them to compete is to either charge more or also rip off their workers and suppliers.

Charging more is obviously the correct solution, but paying more for an ethically produced product isn't a luxury everyone has because they're also working for an insatiably greedy company.

Regulations that force companies to behave ethically is the only way out of this hole, which is why neoliberals fiercely oppose them.

Probably lots of reasons, all of them fucked.

The main reason is probably money. There's no better way to turn billions of dollars of public funds into billions of dollars of private profits.

It also reassures neoliberals that for all his rhetoric about forgiving loans and improving healthcare access, he's still willing to kill children if there's money in it.

It's also a chance to show off the unstoppable force of American arms against people who are considered completely expendable to America.

This was so awkward I had to check if you were joking but nope, actual conservative who got his feelings hurt and retaliated with the two most generic right-wing insults there are.

I could teach your entire personality to a bird.

they can give millions in subsidies direct to corporations

That's exactly why they're fighting it -- every dollar they give to poor people is a dollar less they can give to rich people.

Their initial investigation into him lasted 13 months.

Epstein died in 2019. If there's any open cases it's because they're not making any effort to close them.
