But but but... "Compassionate Conservatives".

"Pro-Life"... Until the baby is born. Then it's no medical help. No education. No food. And they voted for every war in countries filled with brown people. But YAY, they're "Pro-Life".

They are "Pro Labor... But they vote for "Right To Work Laws", aka outlawing unions. They vote against OSHA and workplace safety regulations.

They are Pro Economic Growth... even if that means pollution, climate change, and contaminated water supplies for other people.

They are Pro Religion... As long as it's their radical White Christianity. Everyone else can go "F" themselves.

Basically the "Conservative" brain can't cope with change. They need a static universe that never changes. They latch onto religion and reject science for that reason. Their Bible" is a safe thing that can never be questioned and will never change. Unwavering belief beats thinking every time.

They fear and mistrust anyone who doesn't look like them and believe what they believe. So those people are the perfect scapegoat for every problem a "Conservative" brain perceives.

And they tend to be low IQ and not well educated.

Lastly, if something is not happening to them, in this moment, it doesn't exist at all. Sort of like a dog's brain. So they can't feel empathy for other people in natural disasters, poverty, wars, etc.

Don't expect that to ever change.

Easy!

Plus "Christianity". They legitimately think they are being true to Jesus' words when they behave the way they do. You HAFTA understand they are ACTIVELY seeking the End Times of Jesus return and sowing the seeds of chaos, war, terror, crime, poverty, pestilence, division & hate helps to bring the Apocalypse / Revelations about sooner. Plus, this world is irrelevant to them and ALL governments illegitimate usurpers compared to Jesus Kingdom to come. Once you understand that it all makes perfect sense... to THEM!

RELIGION IS A METASTATIC CANCER!

They say they're pro-life but they're just pro-birth. Then they immediately stop caring about you and think you should have a job when you're 5 or you're a freeloader.

Won't belong before they're kicking them out of the country.

dragoblack · Answer

They are out of touch with normal working class society, they have no idea how reality works, or economy, science, & engineering, and just wants things to be like "the good ole days". Next to none of the politicians in general actually talk with or listen to the working class, and they all just socialize with millionaires through billionaires (who are equally out of touch with reality), along with mega corporations & conglomerates. It's been over 70 years since they last understood and focused on the working class and just twisted the economy to make themselves money and screwing over the working class.
Hell, the politicians haven't done their job in that long which is moderating the country for the working class citizen. Companies are supposed to work around the economy and adapt to survive, but the last 100 years the economy has been bent around companies, causing destabilization and the current conglomerate coup of the united states to bend it to the will of the richest people... cyberpunk 2077s government being just 3 major companies privately owning the usa and it's military, is the end result this is heading to.

Republicans are not cruel. They are trying to do their best to eliminate waste. Democrats derive their power from the welfare system. The more people they can pass out goodies to the more votes that they will get. That is why the illegal alien population is so important to them. Once they make it so they can all vote there will be no stopping them.

Republicans derive their power from free enterprise and the American dream. The idea of working hard, owning property, raising a family is the cornerstone of their party.

They believe life is a zero sum game. They want it all for themselves, and nobody should accidentally get anything they don't deserve... and fundamentally, if you are somebody else, then you don't deserve it because to hell with you. As a conservative life is about putting yourself first, it's about making money, building your status, and it's about grandstanding and preaching down to others who you think are morally inferior. Sprinkle in some deluded notions of "making it to the top" if you just work hard enough. Then you can really dump on those below you, and you'll deserve that opportunity, because God blessed you to have it, or some foolish nonsense. Just say you believe in Jesus and all of your repugnant behavior and ill feelings towards your fellow man is just magically forgiven. Pretty sweet deal, huh?

Shiprex · Answer

Because exploitation is their entitlement. They exploit others they deem beneath them so they can profit from them. They see something in nature and the first thing they think is how can I enrich myself from this.
They get into power and see how that can enrich themselves further (Crypto made DonJon half a billion in his first week I believe yet not a word about corruption in public office)

They thrive on othering groups who may be seeking social improvement for themselves.

They BELIEVE things and therefore assume everyone should also believe and if they don't they're the enemy.

Like toddlers who want things their way because that makes them comfortable and anyone else is a threat to them.

I get so sick of these narratives I'm supposed to take seriously. Oh they're big meanies huh? They pick on you after school? It's hard for me to feel how you actually think they're cruel. They're just dudes that would rather you work a job and raise kids than become trans and paint your fingernails.

BadApple69 · Answer

Well if you read what he said he isn’t talking about little children. He is talking about 16 year olds during summer break. And he is right. I started working when I was 12 mowing lawns, at 16 I worked at a tv repair shop. As a young man I would have been ashamed to be on a free lunch program. I would’ve wanted to work for my lunches. That’s the problem with the kids today they want everything for free. They don’t wanna work for nothing.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

it's time for everyone to stop voting for either of these parties. trump is as close to independent as we get. rfk was a good choice too. but they are still being controlled by a foreign country. until that stops, we can't stop the cruelty that they do to us. that force us to be cruel to others.

genericname85 · Answer

personally i would rather look at these shit takes as a failure of the individual. because i think republicans overall are rather conservative. and conservative means protection of family and children. not sending children to work. i think most republicans don't agree with his take.

i mean i see nothing wrong with having a paper boy job or whatever. but not as a compulsory thing.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I assume this is high school since it talks about children who are old enough to work. These children really should work that young to get a head start on their resume.

As for free school lunches, I wouldn't mind that if we did a far better job budgeting for the public school system. If throwing money at the problem worked, then the US would really be #1 in education in the world, but it isn't.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Their „pulling yourself up by the bootstraps“ myths are part of their brand. Often just faked or embellished stories similar to the George Santos fantasies.

stupefy · Answer

It's hilarious to watch you Socialist fight for Department of Defense budgets. You guys are now a bunch of Neo Cons in bed with Dick Cheney, trying to prevent DoD budget cuts as you try to fight proxy wars. It's fucking funny.

Cruel, angry people who lack empathy tend to find that Republican philosophy and their own need and desire to harm others matches very well.
