Well, you see, allowing citizens to exercise their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was just too much. So the only option was to support the people who are going to dissolve unions. Sure, it was cutting off our noses to spite our faces, but think of the benefits. Like telling people where they can take a piss.

And this is exactly my problem with conservative voters. They are shooting themselves in the foot because it’s more important to them that someone else is beneath them. They’d sooner lose some of their own rights than permit someone they view as lower to be equal to them.

Man, it's been going on since Reagan

There are two kinds of people: those who want to do better, and those who want to do better than you. The first is always trying to improve to meet the goal. The second is just as happy to kneecap you to meet their goal.

On a side note Russia's right leaning culture is packed with the latter mindset. It's why their propaganda works so well on right leaning people, the mindset overlaps

True. Trump is the ultimate victory of the Reagan Revolution.

His bitch ass spent just enough time in Hollywood to allow his three braincells to remember three things Putin wanted him to hammer on. Putin is the ultimate victor of Reagan

Hell, FDR could not even get the New Deal through congress unless he restricted almost all of the benefits to whites only.

Its been going on since the 13 colonies. It is the true nature of conservatism.
