Conservatives think destroying the community is a flex.
conservatives think anything is a flex as long as they can CO-OPT it into thier realm, they dont have a single belief they hold on to, and quite fickle, today its bad bunny, tommorow, its something else.
They are just reactionary and don't have solid, thinking principles to guide them.
This could be a massive advantage, we could literally own them and push them into every good position we want if we all unified and understood that they have the minds of toddlers and just need good narratives and emotional engagement.
Instead, what most on the left do over and over is clash with ideology, philosophy and trying to argue about their "inconsistency." This has never worked except with people already on the fence, which is a shame that we have essentially given up on a 3rd of our population because the required level emotional intelligence is something you get from socializing and being social.
And like, half the people on the left are more vindictive than want better outcomes and want to see the right "pay" more than they want to see them change.
you mean destroying "tHe deEp StAtE" or "THe EsTabLishMenT"
I guess only when they do it. BLM community destruction is still something brought up often.
