Social conservatives want you to believe that their well-funded projects to infiltrate and corrupt media institutions, government institutions, and institutions of higher learning are all just their way of "fighting back" against liberals who have done the same thing.
The thing is, liberals never did that. There was never any organized and well-funded campaign to relax society's strict Victorian prudish stick-up-the-ass rules on sexuality. It just happened organically, the same way the movement to abolish slavery spread on its own, without any monied shadow organization promoting it. Sometimes, ideas spread because they just make sense.
Other times, ideas spread because the wealthy and the powerful are trying to shove them down your throat. Don't confuse one for the other.
Think about how pathetic Trump-supporting men must be. They actually look up to him.
The Republican party is not a real political party. It's a clown car full of white-supremacists, sex offenders, money launderers, Russian influence peddlers, a cokehead turned pillow salesman, washed-up former celebrities, deadbeat dads, incels, greedy billionaires, ruthless union-busting businessmen, hillbillies, anti-vaxxers, gun-toting conspiracy theory nutjobs, and Bible-thumping misogynist homophobes.
Everybody in this clown car is the reason your mother warned you to be wary of strangers. And both halves of the clown car will readily agree that the other half is a total embarrassment, but they're all still proudly joining together under one stupid red-hat banner, because each of them is getting one thing he wants.
I don't know how much money they had and they weren't shadowy, but there were a lot of organizations actively working and campaigning to end slavery. People did not just eventually realize.FB friend: It just happened organically, the same way the movement to abolish slavery spread on its own, without any monied shadow organization promoting it.
The answer to Trump's question, why he can't have generals that are personally loyal to him like Hitler had, is that we have carefully avoided that mistake. At a time when the armies of the world swore their allegiance to kings and queens, we established one that swears allegiance to the Constitution.
This is why they tell you to check the website to see if your ballot was received. Hopefully someone will be able to add a message box to the top of said website saying something like "If you put your ballot into the public mailbox at the corner of so-and-so on such-and-such a date, it was likely lost in the fire. Please contact blah-blah-blah to receive a replacement."![]()
