And denying climate change as it would require their thinking and doing to change. They hate that the most.
Comment on A place for conservatives
MTZ@lemmy.world 10 hours agoIt comes down to how American conservatives are extremely hesitant to any kind of change at all. In the extreme cases, like MAGA, QAnon, TeaParty, etc. that hesitance can lead to fear of change which can lead to things like violence and terrorism, etc. In short, they are called conservatives because they wish above all else to “conserve” the status quo, that often being racism, sexism, slavery, xenophobia, hate groups, misogyny, etc.

American “conservatives” are anything but conservative.
They’re hyper liberal. They’re ripping up precedent left and right to institute how the think things “should be” as if it’s 250 years ago. The billionaires want slavery. They want to eradicate all minorities and anybody who isn’t white. They don’t have the support to do all of this all at once, so they’re starting with the people who will never support them first. Take away the support of the opposition and more and more unpopular actions can be taken to push things towards an oligarch controlled white christian nationalist organization.
They’re spending money like crazy but only in ways that support them politically. They’re trying to drive out anything that is remotely left ideologically until the middle is the left, and then they’re next.

Oh yeah, I agree with you. They have driven the Overton window into another dimension.

I’ve been marathoning the old twilight zone episodes and it’s amazing how much today’s reality feels like we’re living in one of those episodes.
Makes me wonder what Rod Serling would say today.

That’s such a great show. I have only seen a few episodes but I really enjoyed everything that I have seen and I’m slowly working my way into it. A friend of mine likes it and she turned me on to it a few months ago. And Serling actually seems like a legitimate bad ass.
