The only thing consistent with conservatives is the cognitive dissonance. They will hold two radically contrary ideas and do the most idiotic mental rationalizing why that usually hinges on them as a person making some arbitrary judgement. They’re all unimaginative idiots who should be used for just manual labor.
Nah, there is not internal cognitive dissonance. They say stupid shit to pander to their stupid base, but they are the party of the rich. They know exactly what they are saying; but their goal is, and has always been to advance the goals of the rich.
At the lowest level that means ensuring the rich get richer. At the highest level it means ensuring class and race division, creating a system of oppressive laws that only apply to those who can’t afford to be in their class, and merging their financial interests quite literally with the government (corporatocracy).
They pretend they are against abortion for religious means. They are against abortion because it’s the poor that keep them rich, and they want poor children to be born and join the system.
They pretend they support our troops in defense. They support war because taxpayer money goes directly into their pockets from military defense contractors. Then they consistently vote against veteran’s support bills because they don’t give a shit about the troops.
They say they support small government. But they want the government to consistently get involved to force private corporations to allow their hate speech to flourish.
Right. Conservative behavior makes a whole lot more sense when you assume they believe rich people deserve to be that way, that other people are inherently bad, and they need to keep them down.
Trick is, they know centrists would never go along with it if they came right out and said that. They don’t have enough numbers on their own to implement these policies in a democracy. That’s where all the nonsense statements come from. They’re preying on people who deeply believe both sides have good and bad points, but who don’t have a good filter for junking the bad ones.
No no no you see it’s more complicated. No, I can’t explain it. I don’t fully understand, myself. I can’t personally defend the Confederacy but I identify with them strongly and questioning them makes me angry. Instead I’m going to attack you, Joe Biden, communists, and BLM in order to derail the conversation.

But also it’s not really sarcasm it’s more like satire because I truly feel like some Republicans think this way.
They call themselves the Party of Lincoln while simultaneously defending the Confederacy.
Baffling.

Definitely not the state’s right to let rich white men own black people. Nope, not that at all.
I got banned from the /conservative community on .ee because one of those idiots was saying that Democrats are the ones who support the Confederacy.
I posted five pics of traitor flags at Trump rallies and the mod banned me for “bad faith.”
He left up the lies that I refuted though, just like a cryptofascist would.
I know exactly the user making that claim and the mod that banned you.
They subscribe to a different reality over there.

Remember that cognitive dissonance actually causes mental health issues even if they are under the surface. These people actually suffer from it.
Thank you for using ‘cognitive dissonance’ the right way.
