Across the coalition, some supporters who once viewed Trump as MAGA’s greatest asset are beginning to question whether he’s become its biggest liability.

The midterm losses amounted to more than a repudiation of Trump. They were a referendum on the political and cultural movement he built. A defining force in American politics that began as a campaign slogan during Trump’s 2016 presidential run now faces a potentially existential reckoning after voters disillusioned with soaring fuel prices, the Iran war and Washington corruption delivered Democrats decisive congressional majorities.

If you swap the word "conservatives" with the word "immigrants" then you sound exactly like a maga.

Except that immigrants are the life blood and heart of our country and MAGA are actual nazis. So, reality does make a difference here.

If you remove a couple letters from your user name, then you sound exactly like Adolf Hitler. 🤣 Why would anyone take someone named Adolf Schmitler seriously?! 😆 JFC conservatives don't even try to hide who they are. Just cartoonishly pure evil.

"Im justified in calling for executions of groups of people, since my cause is pure and rightous so they deserve to die." Yeah ok buddy. Israeli's say that about Palestinians too you know.

And glad to see you can only focus on my username, since you have absolutely nothing else to say in defense of arguing for genocide. You're more like Hitler and maga than anyone here.

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. This truism applies to your latest comment.

Let's break down your comment and see if we can find a single honest statement within it...

You claim I called for executions of groups of people. Re-reading the thread reveals no such thing at all was said. So, you started your comment off with a lie. Then, you bring up Israel for some unknown reason as a response to your own lie. Strawman arguments are a form of deception, so that's another lie.

Then you claim to "be glad" about your next lie. You definitely are not glad about it, so I'll count that as a lie as well.

Your next lie is that my only statement of defense is to point out how your name celebrates Hitler. Re-reading the thread shows that I had points other than showing how you glorify Hitler with your name, so you've lied there as well.

Finally, you claim I am more like Maga and Hitler than anyone else in this thread. The fact that you argue in defense of conservatism behind a name that glorifies Hitler shows that to be a lie.

It seems every claim you made in your comment was a lie. In fact, it appears there was no honest statement to be found in your comment at all. This supports the truism above, that every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation.

Allow me to predict your next lie in which you claim you are not a conservative, but rather a centrist. 🤣

You hide behind semantics then cry strawman. What do you do when you have an infestation besides exterminate it? The person you call is literally called an "exterminator".

You say everything out of a conservative is deception or manipulation, yet thats all you seem to do as well.

With every comment you only cement the fact you're not different than the very people you despise. You're only a different side.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.today 1 points 50 minutes ago

Oh, are both sides the same? OK. Were both sides the same in 1860 as well?

Stick with that both-sides argument. I'm sure it'll work out well for the side that protects pedophiles, billionaires and bigots.
