When are people going to realise that conservatives don't give a fuck about the law?

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They won't give a fuck about the law as long as they keep getting away with violating it. But we should never stop calling them out on their criminal behavior, both because it's important for others to see that these are criminals, and because we need to document their crimes so that they can be held accountable some day. Accepting corruption as normal only helps the corrupt.

Oh, I agree

People need to be holding the fuckers to account

I think they love the law when then can manipulate it and punish the down trodden with it

Wilhoit's law:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is no law.

Could be??? It literally is.
