    Never in my wildest dreams did I think Liberals would be the luddites while Conservatives are bracing the tech era and using it well.

    Fuck.

      Yeah crazy world where the liberals don’t want to capture the social media industry with massive amounts of corruption. Why can’t my team be as corrupt as their team…

      I know they should just give up all pretense of morality and lawfulness and just go full conservative!

          So you agree they should go full conservative levels of corruption to win? This would be fulfilling the both sides fantasy of every conservative propagandist btw.

          I think you are missing the point here as well. Using conservative propaganda against progressives is kind of pointless.

            Never said go their levels but seriously…

            Letting them use digital propaganda to set the narrative while we still chant that tired ass line, “when they go low, we go high?”

              Fair enough, and I agree.

              On a side note, the whole virtue signaling thing was invented by conservative propagandists. Like everything with them it is pure projection as they have always been the biggest virtue signalers with their family values and church values nonsense.

              We can see with this latest episode with Kirk just how ridiculous of virtue signalers they are. You should only be using this term to throw it back in their faces.

              Using it on progressives is basically unnecessarily internalizing their BS message. At least that is how I look at it.

                Progressives actually care when that term is used. Conservatives just latch to the next thing Progressives say just to bastardize it since they lack creativity outside of cruelty.

                  They have done this to so much of our lexicon and it really is ridiculous. Whenever someone randomly brings up some high level academic thought experiment like woke, cultural appropriation, or systemic racism you know you are in for a big dose of dumb.
