It doesn't matter what country you are in or what name conservatives there go by (CPC, GOP, Tory, etc.) this is the playbook.
@NorthernInvader
and "why" are they called "conservative" -- what exactly are they "conserving?"
@sonnybillglover That's part of the con
they manipulate people by engaging their desire for revenge, which is stronger than their desire to improve their own lives if the libs are helping them.
insane? seems like it to me.
@holon42 @NorthernInvader They tell them that their worst impulses and feelings are actually right and good, and they feed them fear and paranoia of the other, and then tell them they can protect them from the fear they created.
yup. true evil can't do anything good. just cannot.
@holon42 That is my understanding as well. People sometimes think you can achieve a greater good by doing some small evil, but it really just sets a bad foundation, and taints the outcome.
fruit of the poisoned tree.
@NorthernInvader Usually, they do this by pointing at someone who looks different, and telling their followers that they have to vote conservative or that bad (insert minority) will get them.
