i love how monday everyone was cheering on the government shutdown and wanted EBT to never come back. then elections that were going to be bloodbaths end up being bloodbaths so now they want to get rid of the filibusters and reopen the government and its like why the fuck would trump do that now instead of a month ago if it was really that important to him? its going ot be fucking obvious as a ploy and that he was spooked because of the election results meaning that the dems will forever use that against him
This Fred Herbert dude is right on the money.
Even me as a right-winger, I've always found the Moral Majority Republicans to be retards. Why? Because their policies were always unpopular, especially with younger people.
When I was a much younger lad, everyone saw George W. Bush and the GOP at the time as the uncool old people. George W. Bush was a NeoCon warhawk that started wars, the Religious Right wanted to impose theocracy in the United States, and the GOP were tone deaf when it came to how to approach society's social issues where often they think Christianity is the only solution to everything. These political positions became very unpopular throughout the 2000's which is why America got eight years of Obama because Obama and the progressive wave we saw throughout the late-2000's and the early-2010's was a response to the idiocy from the GOP and Dubya at the time.
The Moral Majority Republicans were unpopular retards then an they're unpopular retards now. What a lot of Rightoids always seem to fail to understand is that the United States was not founded on collectivist authoritarianism but on individualist freedom. America has its problems but for much of its history it has put the freedom of the individual first before any collectivist nonsense.
So when you see retarded Moral Majority Republicans push for mass surveillance for the Internet, push for non-secular religious teaching being taught in public schools, and pushing for more restrictions on media (like porn or video games) then no shit you're going to lose voters to the opposition.
To be fair, at least the GOP on a federal level have finally get it. The Trump administration and Congressional Republicans using funny memes and video games and anime and such to appeal to voters does show that the GOP on a federal level are being less hostile towards America's youth and I think this is a good thing because this shows the GOP on a federal level has evolved. But the state level Republicans are still stuck in the 1950's and they're laughably out of touch with young Americans that want to see more positive changes for America.
If the American Right wants to win in the long term, they should look at both Japan and Argentina as models on how to be a right-winger and not lose in elections. Japan is a pretty conservative country that has voted for the Right for most of its post-WW2 history because the LDP knows better than to piss off younger voters (now and days even the LDP supports the anime and manga industries and they support free speech for Japan's pop culture media). Argentina did away with Peronism and now Argentina is on the path of economic recovery and with Javier Milei doing away with state sponsored censorship has made Argentina an actual free country now.
If the GOP wants to win in the long term then they should adopt the playbooks that Japan's LDP uses and Argentina's Libertarian Party uses to stay in power and to actually win culture war battles. For any ideology to stay relevant, you need young people to adopt it. If young people reject your ideology then your political party will lose.
Japan and Argentina at least get it because they know it's political suicide to piss off young people. At least the GOP on a federal level is starting to understand this but I feel like it's going to take several more devastating loses for state level Republicans to finally understand that they have to start listening to young people because they cannot keep relying on the retarded religious boomers forever (especially as those in the boomer generation are reaching their death beds because they're not getting any younger).
Javier Milei is popular with young people in Argentina because he doesn't do anything to make life harder for younger people. Japan's LDP has been in power for a long time because they are a party of pragmatism and they don't do anything to piss off young Japanese voters. It's time that the state level Republicans have to understand the same if they don't want to lose to the Left in the long term.
The retarded Moral Majority Republicans have got to go.
I'm sorry that I'm poltisperging here but I'm just tired of seeing the American Right make the same mistakes that causes them to lose in culture war battles over and over again in the first place and they somehow expect a different result. It's time that the American Right finally starts to get real.
