These people have left reality long ago.
I legit once read on reddit someone saying the Republicans 'let' a black man be president.
Trust me, they consider not flat out brutalizing and murdering minorities to be a concession (and one they're not strictly happy they made, what with them referring to the civil rights movement as a mistake).
Not saying there isn't nuance to the topic, but typically when chuds say shit like this they usually mean gun rights.
Right-wingers will refuse to support something they want unless it's A) a right-wing demand, or B) comes with liberal concessions. Like universal background checks or universal health care. GOP voters want those, but will vote against them unless the Dems "sweeten the pot".
Meanwhile Dems culturally water down all of their proposals before they even hit rightwing resistance.
And nary an actual leftwinger in sight.
:agony-deep:
That's the remarkable thing about guns in the US. The right wing was the progenitor of the modern gun control movement, post-black panthers. It's always been their demand, because they've always known their white conservative base has a way better chance of passing those checks than someone who's frisked by the cops once a week.
I wouldn't be surprised if the right-wing will pivot, without a hint of irony, to gun control the exact moment the SRA and other leftist gun groups outnumber the far-right militias. Not even nationwide, just locally, state by state.
It's an indictment of the sad state of arming leftists in the US that there's no example of right-wingers getting nervous since the BPP.
True, but also, most of the armed leftists are rural and white.
This means that, while there are profound discursive political differences between the chuds and many armed leftists, they still are perceived by said chuds as not an existential threat the way that urban black maoists are.
the neoliberals will still "compromise" with them.
and give us nothing.
The libs would completely agree with this and blames the "radical" leftits and "tankies" dividing the nation with their crazy demands (read: non shitty life).
All those famous left-wing church arsonists like, uhh... Varg Vikernes
Also I guess black churches don't count since I wager Gab's userbase would very much like to go shoot up those
Also also can I just say I hate hate hate this weepy conservative good Christian boy affectation, at least Nazis like Varg who believe they live in Skyrim are funny
These are people who only care about the gays and how they are not gay at all and it's a choice and they choose to not be attracted to Chad Marblechin no sir no way I can't possibly like men oh shit oh fuck it must be a choice because otherwise my worldview is completey wrong!
They are well-off enough to not even realize that the left is primarily concerned with improving the material conditions of workers. That's not even a thing they have in their brain.
Of course we also care about lgbtq+ rights though and so to them it looks like they are losing, while they are winning all of the fights except that one, only because this is the only fight that the democrats choose to have because big business ultimately does not care about it one way or the other.
Reminds me of r/conservative saying the republicans are controlled opposition a few months ago.
I get that this is predominantly a fash-adjacent American attitude, but I've had this shit from my UK Joe Roganite cousin for years. The first time we discussed politics he revealed a similar sentiment that he felt that 'the right had been hard done-to and propagandised against for years and the left has an unfair advantage' and I had to laugh through tears that 'sure, if you get all your info from 4chan'
