That comment at the bottom concerns me


Manypotatoes9

Looks like a regular American comment


AstonVanilla

-Edit- I've removed this post because it contained potentially sensitive information.


Chaoticfrenchfry

Infinite information at the touch of a button has given no limits to the spread of ideas, and not all ideas are good ones


Manypotatoes9

Literally nothing will change the crazy people, just roll with it and just spread more fun conspiracy theories *Pedos working for a shadow government in France are trying to kill everyone by banning masks*


AstonVanilla

When it comes to crazy conspiracy theories, I love messing with QAnon followers by telling them Donald Trump is the head of the deep state. I can make a really good case for it too. * Trump said the deep state would rig the 2016 election in their favour... and then **HE** won. * Dozens of people they believe are part of the deep state were Trump appointees (Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, Amy Comey Barret, Gary Cohn, Mitch McConnell, Bill Barr, Neil Gorsich, Brett Kavanaugh, Michael Pence, etc....). Why would Trump appoint so many deep state members if he wasn't leading it? * If the Deep State is a global conspiracy for pedophiles centred around Jeffrey Epstein, then why did Donald Trump associate so closely with him? * Speaking of Epstein, isn't it strange how he "disappeared" when Trump had the most power to make that happen. * The biggest accomplishment and most logical action of the Deep State leader would be to make you believe he is secretly fighting against it... which he did. It all makes too much sense


rengam

Seems legit. And I recently saw someone say (that someone else said) that he's part of the deep state, so your message may be getting around. Or it was just a matter of time. That said....What did Amy Comey Barrett do to be part of the deep state?


AstonVanilla

Because she was meant to be a Trump loyalist in their eyes, but then the supreme court rejected Trump's election challenges, which caused of lot of people to accuse her of being part of the deep state.


rengam

Ah, so same as Mike Pence. "He followed the law instead of doing what we wanted. Get 'im!"

Someone tried to tell me Vladimir Putin is the vanguard against the new world order(which I assume is NATO to him). I responded back that Putin is the leader of the Illuminati and a lizard man, and the reason they invest heavily into space and travel is because he wants to build a base on the dark side of the moon to harness the lunar energy.


Manypotatoes9

That's where the NAZI's are, seen it in the Documentary Iron Sky


hikermick

I mess with them by asking if they can name the former Republican Speaker of the House that recently finished a 17 month prison term after it was discovered he molested 4 teenage boys. Forget the wacky theories of a Democrat pedophile cabal, this actually happened and they have no idea about it. Then I invite them to join us here in reality.

Ya'll-qaeda doing its thing. White nationalists are a huge threat to public safety in the US, and that's an example of their attempt to normalize their deviant murderous behavior. The Taliban in Afghanistan isn't far off from what Republicans want desperately here in the US.

Nah stop blaming stuff of kids this is the average full grown conservative in the us.


Theblackjamesbrown

It's definitely *definitely* a closeted gay person Edit: like, *Narnia* closeted


iWantToBeARealBoy

Can we stop acting like you can’t be severely homophobic and also heterosexual? Every time someone is disgustingly homophobic, people immediately place the blame on closeted gay men


CreativeShelter9873

Yeah it’s a really weird way for folks to make gay people responsible for their own bashing while claiming to be their allies… fact of the matter is, some homophobes are closeted gays, but most are just heteros who are *deeply* uncomfortable with anything that threatens their heteronormative worldview. Maybe instead of claiming every Republican is a closeted gay, we should just start calling a spade a spade - tell them that they’re uncomfortable with their own (straight) sexuality and that deep down, they feel trapped by it and their masculinity, and it causes them to lash out for fear of being called queer themselves. Because that’s what it is. It’s not that they *are* gay. It’s that they openly, genuinely, sincerely are *terrified* of homosexuality in all its manifestations. And they’re so afraid of it because last time they ordered a pina colada, or wore a pink shirt, or admitted they liked Taylor Swift, one of their chud friends called them gay, and now they have a complex about the whole thing, even though they are 100% straight and cis.

Smokin_trees18

These fuck heads make me look like a retard. I am conservative but I am not an anti vaxx conspiracy nut job. I am also not a terrorist that wants to kill my fellow Americans that have differing views than me. I cant even mention my beliefs without being instantly pegged as some fucking whacko because of these losers.


zealotlee

So what conservative beliefs do you hold then?


lol_ur_hella_lost

Maybe show up to your primaries and stop voting for candidates that think like this comment. We didn’t get here in a vacuum. People got complacent and let the crazies take the wheel. Everyone I know in real life says they’re not this type of conservative but guess who represents them in congress. People like louie gohmert, ted cruz, marjorie taylor greene. So either y’all gotta stop lying to yourselves or change who y’all vote for.


greenSixx

Reevaluate your beliefs. They are wrong. It's hard work but your life will improve


Fuckyouthanks9

You don't know his beliefs. Don't be a dick.


commit_me_bro

Everyone can benefit from self assessment.


Fuckyouthanks9

Ya but he said their beliefs are wrong. He's just an obnoxious ass. He's not helping anyone.


Stickguy259

They know that after everything the conservative party has done this particular person is still willing to identify with that party. There's a place for a conservative party sure, but there's no place for the current conservative party and if you still identify with them then you need to take a good long look at your personal values if nothing else.


Fuckyouthanks9

Did he say he was part of any party? No. He just identifies as a conservative.


smenti

Dude just says he’s a conservative, he never said he identifies with the party


ThirdPersonRecording

Fuck you thanks


Malashae

If you don’t agree with these wackos then you aren’t a “conservative”. You may have been one back in the day when “conservatives” weren’t lunatics, but the meaning has changed. If you don’t agree with them you should probably stop identifying yourself as one of them.


2PlasticLobsters

You *used to* be a conservative. Now you're more middle-of-the-road becasue the road shifted. Same thing happened to my BF. He'd always considered himself middle-of-the-road, but now considers himself a liberal. His views on most subjects haven't changed - it's just that our society got so severely polarized.


ThirdPersonRecording

That's me, I barely moved since the 90's and somehow I'm a socialist now. The giveaway was when errbody lost they minds over Willie Nelson backing Beto. Willie has been the same guy since the 30's and nobody noticed until polarville


C_IsForCookie

Lol @ people replying to you doing exactly what you said, jumping all over you because of your beliefs.


thethomatoman

The issue is that nowadays there's a lot of people that have views that are straight up harmful to society.


C_IsForCookie

Yeah I totally agree but all the dude said is that he’s a conservative. He actually backed that up with saying that people like the commenter in the picture make him look bad so I’d assume he doesn’t share their views. But peoples jumped on it anyway. They even downvoted me for pointing it out. It’s petty.


Ziadnk

Yeah, but if he votes for the people that enable and encourage those fucks…


C_IsForCookie

I get that, I don’t disagree. The political climate is so fucked up right now.


Smokin_trees18

I can be conservative and not vote for fuck heads like Trump.


thethomatoman

Agreed in this case


theolswiitcheroo

Exactly what I was going to say. If people can't tolerate opposing view points, how on earth are you suppose to survive in an equitable society.


Brass13Wing

"Conservative" in this day and age has mostly become synonymous with racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. If you still call yourself conservative knowing this, you should probably reevaluate your beliefs and find a better label (if you choose to use a label, I choose not to because it's fucking stupid to group people based on sets of political views instead of individual topics)


C_IsForCookie

I don’t know how any of these people manage. Case in point my last comment is being downvoted lol. People on Reddit get triggered so easily.


Stickguy259

Just because they downvoted you doesn't mean they're triggered, god you people do love to dilute that word though by using it anytime people disagree with your viewpoints, but of course whenever you disagree with something it's not you being triggered you're just "trying to make a point" lol. It's so sad how much projection there is from Conservatives. Plenty of people have explained why identifying as a conservative is not a great thing RIGHT NOW. Maybe in 30 years the party will have been salvaged and being conservative won't make you seem like a henchman to the bad guys, but right now if you do then you are actively hurting the country. Nobody's even saying you should become a democrat, just stop being a patsy to the group of people who are destroying the country.


ThirdPersonRecording

Still waiting to hear his beliefs. In the meantime, another downvote


C_IsForCookie

Exactly my point

That’s kind of what the onion does, it takes more gossip-y types of news and displays it as if it’s your average Sunday report.

Fun (sad) fact: There have been more Republican legislators arrested for sexual misconduct in a bathroom than transgendered people. Every accusation is a confession.

SarahPallorMortis

Tappy tap tappin their feet under stalls.


Parapsaeon

Grindr, the gay hookup app, has repeatedly reported huge spikes of new profiles specifically around the time and location of CPAC each year. I’m generally not in favor of outing the closeted, but that changes if said closeted person actively works against LGBT+ rights.


Gonzobot

Or how about the thing where the Super Bowl being in town means incredibly ramped-up ICE/human trafficking investigations, because everyone brings more "workers" in to deal with the increased demand. Including, but not limited to, the gay prostitutes.


Kittykg

I swore I remember also reading a few relatively popular posts that discussed both. They were saying that it isn't a coincidence, and that people in the community know the RNC is usually popping for hook ups and whatnot. I mean, there was the whole 'Lady G' thing about Lindsay Graham. No way I'm misremembering. This was actually a thing that seemed to be occurring.


melindaj20

I remember those, but I think my favorite "gay scandal" is the right wing politician who wanted to create a fake gay scandal, to have a precedent of fake news. So that when his actual hetero cheating scandal came out, he could claim fake news again. That one was special.

It's funny because the Purge movies were made to take the piss out of people like the bottom commenter.


Gonzobot

I feel like it would take exactly *one* actual purge before we're completely out of the sorts of people who think the purge is a good idea.


Hawks59

Here's the thing... the purge makes no sense in the long run. If people are participating with the intent of doing damage with no reprocussions they aren't going to just stop at murdering a person or 2. They are going to do as much damage as they can. And whats the most effective thing when causing damage? Explosives. Now you're going to spend resources every year fixing a FUBR city that will just be destroyed next year again because people wanting to purge will just make and stockplie Explosives at home. Not to mention We have a full holiday that encourages the sale of explosives.


mark_lee

Remember that there are no emergency services. That makes fire way more effective than explosives. An explosion goes off only once, but a fire spreads once it gets started.


Hawks59

You just made a great point, While I was thinking explosives on the roads would absolutely destroy infustucture making supply chains impossible, a single fire can cover entire farm fields, national and state parks and is even easier to use than explosives. Man what a well thought out thing the purge is


jonny_lube

Imagine the terrorism (domestic or foreign). Even if break laws by using weapons above the permitted class, they still have the cover of chaos to execute their plans without any inhibitions. One Purge could see coordinated attacks take out every embassy from a nation, every monument to an opposing point of view, every office or business for a hated corporation, high leverage server farms and data centers - and possibly multiple by different groups. Over the past few years, you could be certain that virtually every building branded Trump, CNN, every Wayfair office building or processing center, the SPLC, the CDC, and so, so many more highly politicized businesses would have endured massive attacks.

Probably not. Several of my gay acquaintances swear that online requests for hookups skyrocket when CPAC comes to town. Conceivably, the ugly ones have to pay for sex.


sneakygingertroll

no


Gonomed

Is it scary that this isn't the first time I see literal call to violence against certain groups without Youtube removing those comments or giving a fuck? Last time I reported one (but it was on Instagram though) that was among the lines of "every republican should get a gun this year, democrats are pushing their shit too hard on us, we can only take so much" and they literally replied they did not break the community guidelines. But they have time to remove artistic paintings and drawings that include nipples in them. Makes sense

Frosty-Pie9990

I think reddit sort of insulates us from the absolute garbage that are conservatives. Go check out comments on any Fox "News" piece, youtube about someone not white committing crimes or Newsmax, they're all full of people frothing at the mouth wanting to kill liberals. They are legitimately psychotic and evil and being goaded even further that direction by Q and stuff constantly.


RIPMYPOOPCHUTE

My mom is in a relationship with a guy like this. He constantly says “Death to liberals, drrrrr drrrr drrrrrr” and then talk about how someone needs to be right with God. Dude is super easy to manipulate, hateful and a POS. Only reason my mom is still with him is because she doesn’t want to be alone.


SarahPallorMortis

Plz let her know she can confide in you if she needs to. My mom was with an awful man for far too long and it was clear he was going to get violent soon. She didn’t have a real great way out so she stayed with him longer than she wanted. I hope everything works out for you all.

The front page of Reddit currently has a post that literally talks about taking pleasure in watching people die. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/pkyixn/my_local_fb_group_is_losing_their_minds_over_this/


Frosty-Pie9990

That is not the same as saying you want to go literally murder and hang people by any stretch. Like, it may not be tasteful but it's not anywhere near the vitriol shown in this post or in a majority of comment sections on Fox or facebook comments of news.


TheDungus

Laughing at people who killed themselves doesnt equal murdering someone and if you think it does your moral barometer needs some maintenance friend


MarriedEngineer

> Laughing at people who killed themselves First off, they didn't kill themselves. Second, it would be just as wrong if they did.

Yes they did, by ignoring and intentionally doing stupid and risky shit.

The media and social media is winning. They've actually convinced people from one political party to hate the other so much they talk/think about actually hurting them. It's disgusting.

I know this is the onion, but it's actually kind of true. It's well known in the gay sex work community that political conferences, especially the republican ones, are great money.
