Treading on others.
Many are also being trodden on.
They’ve joined ICE.
Grindr.
„Don’t tread on me! How will I lick your boot if you tread on me?“
They are hanging out with the „we need the second amendment to protect against a tyrannical government“ idiots.
It’s almost like they never existed at all!
They’ve joined ICE of course.
Edit: not entertaining any of that mess. Thanks.
The small government stuff was just a bullshit excuse because they’re just anti-left and it was a convenient argument for them.
What we’re seeing now is what the conservative movement fundamentally is.
They said “me” not you. They don’t care about “rights” they care about “them.”
The „don’t tread on me“ crowd instantly became the „comply or die“ crowd
The “no step on snek” crowd was always sus, so I’m not sure why people are trying to use their hypocrisy as a gotcha.
I just hope people completely disregard and sideline their opinion and voice in the future when making any decisions, because they’re bad faith cowards.
They’re exactly where they’ve always wanted to be, doing the treading.
They were always fascists.
„Rules for thee not for me“ is part of the fascist ethos, likely they dont see the contradiction at all.
This article is arguing that Trump’s proposed economic policy is too socialist. Fucking goofball libertarians
The NRA worked with Reagan to ban open carry after Black Panthers started to show with legally owned firearms in California.
That’s all you need to know about the conservative freedom doctrine.
In the language of the Republican Party, „big government“ has nothing to do with the size of the actual government, only to do with whether the government supports policies they hate.
Requiring masks during COVID? „Big government“
Requiring proof of citizenship to walk the streets? „No problem!“
They’re just slogans, they don’t have any principles.
They’ve become “tread on me daddy” Republicans
They were always blow hard cowards. That’s why they needed a flag to feel tough.
Working for ICE
Working for ICE.
Surprise: they’re all ICE agents now.
They’re licking boots and screaming „Tread on me, Daddy!“
They were never there. Just an illusion. Make believe
