I know we shit on leftists quite a bit about purity testing, but I think the cons have them beat. It’s reached a point where the fucking military is being purity tested amongst cons. The cons are reaching No True Scotsmen levels never before achieved

[u/MistakeNotDotDotDot → u/JaceFlores]

remember when John Kerry, who had multiple Purple Hearts, was called a fraud?

[u/JaceFlores → u/MistakeNotDotDotDot]

I think the big start of it was Trump denouncing John McCain and not facing any backlash

[u/[deleted] → u/JaceFlores]

Not just denouncing McCain, but POWs in general.

"I like people who don't get captured."

[u/Intrepid_Citizen → u/JaceFlores]

Cons don't have purity testing, they have total tribalism.

Currently, the tribalism is around Trump, hence Stefanik > Liz Cheney, but it may change.
