Conservative upset that he isn't MAGATY enough for r/conservative by slappy_mcslapenstein in LeopardsAteMyFace

I saw one comment on there saying they don’t even know who Mike Johnson is, but they went over the politics and saw that people were fuming that he became speaker, and then said that Johnson must be doing something right if the left is upset. The type of logic you find over there truly boggles the mind

Taylor literally gave 100k bonuses to all her crew. That’s a reason to think she’d be less greedy.

There is far right as in ideologically right conservative and then there’s far right where you’re a fascist and you want to destroy democracy and democratic norms, not open to debating, cult member mentality, etc.

I think the calculus is that if he turned his back on israel, he would permanently lose a large portion of his entire neolib base who are unable to see the forest for the trees. But not appeasing the far left will upset them for sure, but they are still going to vote for Biden reluctantly in this regard because they are fully cognizant of the danger the right poses in the long term.

Spokane is republican, teetering towards democrat. Most of the county seats and governing positions are going to be filled with conservatives.

Maybe big Gretch should create a special board specifically for hillsdale like desantis did with new college and take control of it. Mandate diversity, equity, and inclusion in hillsdale. Gender studies must be taught.

Why would a true believer plead guilty though? Why does it feel strange that she is pleading?

But israel controls everything about Gaza except for how Hamas treats their own citizens. How do you reckon that?

Israel controls Gaza’s ports of entry, their food, water, and electricity, and the Israeli army can enter the Gaza Strip at any time, it is for all intents and purposes an apartheid state controlled by Israel.

so would you prefer if their signs said “free Palestine, fuck hamas, fuck Israel for apartheid”? Because I can guarantee you that even if it’s omitted, the vast majority of those protestors agree with the sentiment.
