Current Events > Why are Republicans making things so bad?

(+) Yeah! (+)

• Porn banned in 2+ states
• Making it legal to discriminate against gay
• Limiting social media views

Cause problems -> Angry people are short-sighted and susceptible to misdirection, uneducated people are easy to trick -> Use masses of uneducated and highly emotional people to get votes -> Repeat

They are doing pretty poorly in the recent elections though

They're corrupt, cruel, assholes, that's why. They'd sell your rights and slit your mother's throat for a nickel.

All of those are to make more white babies. A lot of Republicans fear the same issue Japan is facing right now

Unfortunately for them, their tactics are not going to work well since most white folks are on the wealthier side. All they'll do is accelerate the birth rate of racial minorities who can't afford much.

This is always what they've wanted, they just haven't had the judicial makeup and the fascist motivation they've needed until now.

While Trump didn't create it, he unlocked a fuckton of doors that had been closed.

If no porn for a bunch of overweight unattractive men isn't enough for them to wake up to what is going on then nothing will.

The Republicans are playing a dangerous game with these changes.

What's personally frustrating for me is that I understand why the elites do such things... Greed/power...

But what really gets me is the plebs in general that follow them like zombies, or don't wake up and realize that you can't expect much of anything from the "fuck you, I got mine!" types. It's in their nature. "Fuck you, me first."

Like even if you yourself are selfish, you would rather have a charitable neighbor than one that is a selfish asshole. So to speak.

They have an OP weapon known as misinformation and propaganda. It puts you quite above others when you can control the narrative.

The bibble

On social questions, it is explicitly reactionary, opposing progressive ideas about race, gender, and sexuality and supporting policies to promote heterosexual family formation. For instance, Deneen opposes gay marriage, denounces critical race theory as an effort to divide the working classes, and generally supports policy to make it more difficult for married couples to get divorced.

Deneen argues that this version of conservatism will eventually come to replace liberalism as Americas governing philosophy through a process that he calls regime change. But as is often the case with Deneen, he is frustratingly coy about what regime change actually entails or how it will unfold. In his latest book, he argues that regime change will require the peaceful but vigorous overthrow of a corrupt and corrupting liberal ruling class, making way for a new, postliberal order in which existing political forms remain the same but are informed by a fundamentally different ethos. This new regime will be superficially the same as the current political order, but it will be led by a new class of conservative elites who share the values of non-elites and govern in their interests.

Many of us yearn for a return to one golden age or another. But theres a community of bloggers taking the idea to an extreme: they want to turn the dial way back to the days before the French Revolution.

Neoreactionaries believe that while technology and capitalism have advanced humanity over the past couple centuries, democracy has actually done more harm than good. They propose a return to old-fashioned gender roles, social order and monarchy

If no porn for a bunch of overweight unattractive men

I doubt the white dudes in these states are exactly prime breeder selections for the women.

Its crazy whats allowed and what isnt allowed here

The republican party is promoting the views of neoreactionaries and postliberal ideals, both of which say our representative republic is no longer useful.

Patrick Deen calls for "Regime Change"

And neoreactionists basically want the "tech bro" version of a monarchy.

TLDR: The republican party no longer believes in democracy, so they are trying to destroy it.
