        It’s actually classism. The first conservatives were literally monarchists, and nothing has changed since except maybe replacing ruling by “divine right” with “he who has the gold makes the rules.” The single defining criterion of conservatives is that their worldview is hierarchical and zero-sum. They are authoritarian followers who crave subjugation.

        The bigotry is just a convenient way of defining the classes according to easily-visible characteristics.

          No, it’s not just classism. They hate anyone who isn’t a rich straight white male. That’s a minimum of 4 different demographics.

    I can’t quite put my finger on how but, compared to last year, I feel like the content here has been much more relatable lately.

    C’mon guys meet me in the middle please! It’s only fair to compromise. How about instead of me blowing up your entire family, I just get to blow up half of them? That’d be the smart and reasonable move. You want to be smart and reasonable right?
