Conservatives have nothing real to rage about. Everything theyre mad about is only because they've been told to be mad about it by conservative media, who is telling them to be mad about it to politically control them.

They have plenty to be mad about.

Nixon ran as a peace candidate and tripled down on LBJ's mistakes.

Reagan ran on balancing the budget and exploded the national debt.

Bush had a war a week and crashed the economy.

Bush II started a forever war that spent $5 trillion on making sure every kid in the world grew up looking at Abu Ghraib photos.

Trump promised to build the Wall and get Mexico to pay for it.

They have plenty of things to be mad about. Too bad they are all self inflicted wouldns.

Small farmers are basically gone. Main Street is abandoned. They don't own the land they live on either. Their way of life is dying. They've got plenty of real stuff to rage about - the control is telling them it's because of immigrants and not because of the rich.

It's an old meme, but it still checks out.

A CEO guy labeled "Capitalism" is sitting on a giant pile of cookies pointing at a minority on one side of the table and telling a guy holding a cookie on the other side of the table "that guy is trying to steal your cookie".

This is all modern politics is.

And still for some reason killing all of those goddamn fascist Nazi motherfuckers is "offensive" and "gauche".

The US is getting what it deserves for being a bunch of goddamn pussy-assed bitches who defend Nazis for "free speech rights" and Christofascists for "respect for religious beliefs". Fucking shitlibs deserve their ride in the cattle car.
