    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…
