The cause is you, Mr. and Mrs. Yesterday, you, with your forked tongues.
I really gotta stop eavesdropping on the hellsite. If I did, I’d never have to deal with the tsuris stirred up by this centrist jackass, who’s anyways never not on his bullshit:
And oh, he goes ahead and walks it all back with another tweet, oh, I don’t mean denying climate change, or going antivax, or denying the results of any elections, or standing up for antisemitism, or believing anyone in Hollywood is a pedophilic monster, no no, and we can all agree that these are all the basic benchmarks of being a basically decent human being, and Lord knows we’d all like to get older without losing our decency. But of course what this centrist jackass neglects to mention is his shining example of why it’s okay didn’t only hobnob with Reagan when things got to the point that they got, but also with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and Jim Bakker and but also John Birch Society conspiracy-monger Wllard Cleon Skousen, which is exactly and precisely how you fucking get to antivax and antisemitism and denying elections and terminating the fucking Constitution and believing Comet Ping Pong has a goddamn fucking basement. —But we don’t even have to do that much barely minimal research: this centrist jackass’s okay point that he wants to fucking normalize is betraying everything you ever said you stood for to support Ronald God damn Reagan, the singular fucking Jonbar hinge that swung us all of us, every one, from everything we could’ve maybe might’ve had to what we’re fucking stuck with now.
Ronald fucking Reagan.
It’s a poisonously seductive notion, that we must become more conservative as we age, that as we acquire things, stuff, stability, position, power, privilege, we must necessarily crouch and grasp to hold, maintain, conserve. Because we can, we might, we should also acquire knowledge, perspective, empathy, experience, possibility, as we get older, all of which, each of which, militates against conservatism qua fucking Ronald fucking Reagan fucking conservatism.
So, I mean, basically, fuck this centrist jackass, is my point.
