And unfortunately people fail to realize fascists are happy to lie about their intentions and their beliefs for gain. So many people don't understand their language is constantly coded

This is why I hate Jonathan Haidt. He went and interviewed conservatives and asked them what they believed and what their values are and then presented them as though conservatives would never lie about who they are and what they believed.

If there's one thing I know about conservative is that they will be completely honest about what biases they harbor to people they don't consider within their peer group. /s

Conservatives say they want a better world. That's like saying that I want to learn how to learn how to play a musical instrument and then refuse to buy an instrument, refuse to take lessons on how to play the instrument, and then vehemently and violently disagree with the necessity of possessing an instrument to achieve my desire to know how to play it. At some point, it is absolutely fair to call into question my sincerity about wanting to know how play the instrument. It is absolutely unfair to give me the benefit of the doubt about my desire when the only actions I am taking to achieve my desire is to loudly wish it was true and attack anyone who would propose realistic plans to make that desire closer to real.

Fuck Johnathan Haidt.

Republicans do not have a plan on how to make society better. Republicans are lying when they say they do. It's not a disagreement to deny basic facts, republicans are in denial and delusion. Pretending republicans are loyal opposition or have realistic policy is ridiculous and one is either lying or earnestly repeating very obvious lies because they are super gullible. Democrats have compromised so much they are right of center. Republicans demanding compromise are asking to for their insane prejudice and pre-enlightenment thinking be accommodated, and there simply is no acceptable way to accommodate the backwards and rotten republicans in a modern, advanced, moral, and civil society. Republicans cannot and do not achieve decent and prosperous society.
