    It’s funny how conservatives say they like trump because he says what’s on his mind, and doesn’t hold back. But when AOC posts stuff like this, they freak out and call her mean

      No no, they like Trump because he says what is on their mind.

      I say this a lot but the conservative worldview really boils down to “my group is good and yours is bad”. That’s it. Thus when a conservative does something, it’s cool, because they’re good. When someone else does the same thing, it’s bad because they are bad.

      You can’t argue with this. It’s like if you’re making a math proof and someone tells you it’s wrong because you’re wearing a green shirt. The color of your shirt has nothing to do with this geometry. The hypocrisy has nothing to do with their value system.

        I knew we were cooked when conservatives stopped being willing to talk policy and always default back to politicians.

      That’s what happens when you take a conservative at face value. The reality is they freak out because she’s a woman and a “socialist” (at least in their minds). It has nothing to do with what they’re actually saying. It’s what they represent in the power hierarchy. A lot of conservatives can’t handle being below a woman.
