It's starting to look like Merrick Garland wanted Trump dead when he ordered the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago for those classified docs back in August of 2022.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I’m not sure if he’s a supremacist, more likely a racial separatist/“race realist”. Wouldn’t be shocked if he’s racist, but yeah #TheProtocolsOfTheEldersOfZion is quite the deep cut, and his alt-right views are probably the only way he even knows what that is (I only know what that is when I started researching the origins of the #Israel v. #Palestine conflict and it came up as I was skimming #Wikipedia)
I don’t either! I do try to understand them though. They walk among us, after all.
> How the fuck is a “racial separatist” not a racist?
They’re still racist; the difference is that a white supremacist thinks that white people are better than other people, and racial separatists think that all races are equal, but should be segregated from each other.
Funny how you’re more charitable to this white supremicist’s views than you are for anyone to your left.
Last time we were having a discussion you misrepresented my views with every reply, but you’ve really dialed in the various flavors of racist, because those nuances are so important to understand.
Conservatives will ally with racists and fascists before they compromise with a lib.

Part of me wonders if I’m even a #Conservative anymore. I hate big government and a lot of them don’t, and the #MAGA people are pretty embarrassing to boot.
Fair enough; Conservatism is pretty broad so it can be as libertarian as it can be fascist.
I care too much about supporting small government and principles over people to want to associate too closely with the modern right, who I feel is increasingly okay with authoritarianism (look at their support of #DeSantis for example)

I don’t make excuses for white supremicists.
Guess you do.

Gotta love how this community puts the full depravity of conservatism on display for everyone.

This is an interesting take. You must not know me very well.
Have you seen my political commentary blacklist of bad faith actors? It’s mostly people on the right.

Conservatism is a philosophy, not a party. We are realists, the Left are anti-realists.

That’s kind of a childish way to view things.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen Examining political spheres of thought, I’ve been wondering if I’m not closer to #ConservativeLiberalism than #Conservatism itself.

I disagree; egalitarianism is an anti-realist philosophy.
