      Initially: Thank god we can finally stop pretending Trump is a real candidate

      Moments later: Oh, oh no

      Ten years later: What what what oh shit oh fuck

      I have repeated this story numerous times.

      After that tape came out, a conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump.

      One of the panelists kept using the phrase ‘pussy.’

      The conservative woman asked her to please stop using that offensive term.

      As a PoC we kinda just go with the flow. Got a few scattered family members that support him for his regressive values but its very few and far between. For white people, I can only imagine, entire families must have had a schism put through them.

      What does even “conservative” mean for Americans? For Europeans it means you try to conserve things, or apparently being a moron.

        in america, “conservatives” will tell you that they want a return to “traditional values” even though that’s just barely the case in reality.

        what maga really wants:

        be racist/bigoted with complete impunity
        mandatory jesus
        own slaves again
        failing that, resegregation
        tradwife

        i’m definitely leaving things out, but you get the idea–pretty much the fantasy is to return to the 1950s

        edit: i want to add, a LOT of maga voters will say “no i don’t want that i don’t want that” while literally voting for and supporting and wearing t-shirts of the party that’s trying to force people to deify charlie kirk, and punish anyone who doesn’t. it’s absolutely fucking insane, and whatever problems exist in europe, please know that here’s at least one person who envies you

          Now I just need to know what “libtard” means, as I get called that by tankies from time to time…
