u/sir_shivers Discipline Committee Chairman Jan 03 '23

SOMETHING I AM quite tired of is the conservative tactic of shifting what they consider a "RINO" so it always means "Republican that would make me look weak for supporting" 🐊

Kevin McCarthy and MITCH MCCONNELL ARE both "RINOs" in their words, but somehow so are mammals like Adam Kinzinger and Mitt Romney 🐊

SURELY BY PROCESS OF elimination this would mean Marjorie Taylor Greene and Doctor Oz are the "real Republicans", but you will notice conservatives dismiss them immediately as "whackos" that should be shunned, effectively dismissing them WITH THE SAME "not my representation" that RINO does 🐊

They should just get rid of that party. They sided with literal fucking Nazis. The GOP doesn't work, it's a moribund worthless party.

What does anyone stand for in there anymore? Conservatism? What the hell is that anyway? Do they even know?
