View submission: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives Are Listening.

View parent comment

Conservatives have clearly been in complete control and above the law for the near 40 years I've been alive, while any alternative is dismissed by the conservative-owned mouthpieces shoved in everybody's ears as invalid.

Yet they still can't stop playing victim and acting like they're some scrappy underdogs who have to take more power to stop some terrible evil things, like climate science and virology, which reveal things they don't want to be real and would rather destroy the messengers.

Conservatives have never supported democracy. Unlike liberals/leftists, they have always seen the government as illegitimate when they weren't in power.

The only solution is to drop the decorum, drop the bipartisanship, and drop the fucking hammer on them to keep them in line.

But the Dems just don't fucking know how, they wield their power like wet noodles by comparison.

You’re actually smoking crack if you think conservatives were in power from 2012-2024. Or you just have a bizarre nonsensical definition of power.

Gosh, shuffle a few names and it's the last four years. Weird.
