    Wield the power of big government

    Prosecution time baby

    Let women die. No exception.

    Relative to this new brand of Trump Republicans, we all are now all conservative lol ...

    That last paragraph is awesome - don't worry, once we win, we will give up power. Every fascist tendency starts with just trust us with all the power with no checks.


    We Need To Stop Calling Ourselves Conservatives (thefederalist.com)

    The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life — and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.

    In other contexts, wielding government power will mean a dramatic expansion of the criminal code. It will not be enough, for example, to reach an accommodation with the abortion regime, to agree on “reasonable limits” on when unborn human life can be snuffed out with impunity. .... parents who take their kids to drag shows should be arrested and charged with child abuse; that doctors who perform so-called “gender-affirming” interventions should be thrown in prison and have their medical licenses revoked; and that teachers who expose their students to sexually explicit material should not just be fired but be criminally prosecuted.

    If all that sounds radical, fine. It need not, at this late hour, dissuade conservatives in the least. Radicalism is precisely the approach needed now because the necessary task is nothing less than radical and revolutionary.

    ...

    To those who worry that power corrupts, and that once the right seizes power it too will be corrupted, they certainly have a point. If conservatives manage to save the country and rebuild our institutions, will they ever relinquish power and go the way of Cincinnatus? It is a fair question, and we should attend to it with care after we have won the war.

    I eagerly await @Os Trigonum's contra-post, which will inevitably be from [checks notes] Jonathan Turley published by the Federalist

    Honestly, life is better when you block out outlets like The Federalist, Rupert Murdoch owned media, The Washington Times, social media "journalists", The Guardian's political articles, CNN, & Buzzfeed.

    What is the price difference between this and the basic Incel package? @King1 is on a budget.

    Now you see why folks think the GOP is flirting with fascism/theocracy

    Christian nationalism and hiding behind the Bible to discriminate….

    This is what happens when you constantly throw out words like "evil" to describe the opposing side (see, for instance, the Coronavirus thread). You create justification for radical, revolutionary, and even violent politics.

    They stopped flirting a long time ago.

    They have completely come out of the closet at this point.

    This forum has been around for 1300 weeks. This thread confirms the bottom is still not in.

    I don't think so. He's a college professor right? Midterms are typically around this time. Also does take sabbaticals for a month or longer sometimes.
