- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

LOL
A democratic socialist doing something the conservatives scream they are all about, deregulation specifically in support of small business.
Conservatives must be going apeshit in their confusion.
This is in the top 10 gif of the decade hands down.
You can see him realizing it real time in his facial expression, it's great
Its so wonderfully appropriate in so many cases!
They would if they could read
Unironically this.
Conservatives are going to loudly talk shit and quietly vote for him.
For a muslin? You can't trust those diaphanous fuckers! Especially not in that climate!
More than anything, they are self-serving hypocrites. They rail and rant about communists, socialists, muslims, jews, etc. in public, but come election day, they will vote for their self-interests.
EDIT: Not all. Some are too far gone.
Nobody cares about hypocrisy.
Lol, no they won't. Some will claim to be unhappy with Trump, then will go to the polls and vote straight R.
Donald Trump wasn't kidding when he said he could kill a man in the middle of 5th Avenue and not face any consequences.
He's a well documented pedo, and may have even been involved in the murder of an infant he conceived on a child, and Republicans are still bending over backwards to make sure he's free to trample on the US Constitution.
They're bending over backwards because they foolishly brought him into the group and he has access to the blackmail they obviously require for joining the R cult. And with his narcissism and clear dementia getting worse by the day, he is likely to blurt something out in response to any small slight against him.
I do believe you're right. Conservatives constantly demonstrate their hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty as well as their self serving nature. There's a real possibility for people publicly railing against mandami to signal in-group but vote for him in the secrecy of the booth to their benefit.
