I'm a snowflake! I'm a snowflake! I'm a snowflake!
It was around 2019 that I realized that conservatives have a persecution complex. I thought I'd unlocked some secret truth. Nope. It's obvious to all of us who pay attention (I just hadn't been paying attention).
They also tend to have zero self awareness. Democrats aren't treated the same as Republicans because Republicans like Noem act much differently, evading questions and just incessantly blathering on.
The American Republican party is a gathering of the stupidest people in society and is lorded over by the sociopaths who have no issues manipulating that gaggle of morons.
They think their persecuted because Christian Conservatives act as though they are persecuted. In readings of the Bible it is said that the Christian will undergo long suffering for their beliefs. Since they are the oppressors and not the oppressed they fabricate the persecution. Then their political leaders emulate this behavior because it's common and acceptable to their indoctrinated followers.
Couldn't really imagine the GOP without the features of chiristianity. They should really just cut out the middle man and combine the church with the party. Nothing would change.
They definitely are treated differently. Unfortunately they are given preferential treatment by spineless media outlets and the largest broadcast network in the country is their propaganda mouthpiece. I fucking wish Americans didn't trust fake news.
It wasn’t that you didn’t pay attention, you had to develop a framework to understand it and that takes experience.
I enjoyed the /r/persecutionfetish sub over on Reddit before I jumped ship. Its definitely a thing and has been for quite a while.
Her only play at this point.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
No no no. That's a line from the novel 1984, which is a criticism of Communism. Kristi Noem hates Communism. How can the statement apply to her? She's literally always been at war with Eastasia.
