Even more depressingly he's probably referring to establishment Dems

100%, he's your fox news grandpa and he believes all that shit uncritically

[–] SnuggleButt@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

It’s a lot less depressing when you realize they’re just the civil conservatives. You can even remove the shock and surprise from liberals if you get them to realize democrats are just civil conservatives and republicans are just conservatives. I guess they wouldn’t be liberals then though

When you're surprised the "destroy any meaningful leftist opposition in your country via intelligence agencies and swaying the public against them" machine works as intended.

Well in his mind the left is the Democrats, but the entire country just seems to completely forget that they have literally never fought for anything ever, and literally never will

they fight blood and teeth to stop any movement to the left

Yes chuds. You won already, you always win.

Now go enjoy your victory before you go ruin something else.

They won't enjoy it. Even the ones with power who keep getting what they want won't be happy, and they'll attribute the systemic failures to their enemies.

in my telling of the history of the 1970s…the hippies did win. We landed on the moon in July of 1969, Woodstock started three weeks later and, with the benefit of hindsight, that’s when progress stopped and the hippies won.
