    This is not something a conservative would balk at.

    Conservatives literally believe that everything is going fine. American capitalism is great it’s just that there’s a few stray branches (like the entire lgbtq community and immigrants for two examples) that we have to snip off and then we’ll finally realize the true American dream.

      I don’t know what world you’ve been looking at, but they absolutely balk any time you dare attempt to hold one of them accountable… Just look at how they reacted to the Jan 6 prosecutions, and those weren’t even their Dear Leaders (politicians).

        I don’t think they were talking about conservatives balking at being held accountable, which, to be sure, is endemic to their nature; but rather that conservatives don’t balk at the murder, sedition, treason, and insurrection (among countless other atrocities and war crimes they frequently commit) that their side gleefully and happily uses to achieve its own agenda.

      Yep. They all drive around town in their $80k lifted rams, suburban nightmare cardboard mcmansions, 4 kids all in sports. All love Donny dump. Theyre all DEEPLY in debt and/or have a shit ton of assistance from their rich parents, but think they did it all on their own. This is my town.
