The Right Wing Deconstructed

Conservative politicians, pundits, and the ultra right running our joke of a government tell us to be afraid of the Hispanic person, the feminist, the "antifa", the GLBTQ, the immigrant, the refugee, the liberal, the Muslim, or the black person who has the audacity to say their life matters.

We're told to be afraid of "them", we're told to be afraid of the "other".

Problem is, it's not "them" shooting up schools, churches, movie theaters, etc.

If they can't defend "us from THEM", if they can't dehumanize or demonize the "them", if they can't humiliate or degrade "them" in some way, then it's quite simple... They have no solution, no platform, no real reaction, and an urge to cover it up, move on, and find something where they can do this.

This is our right wing today. This is the other side of the aisle. This is what is running our government.

Enjoy.

"They're gonna take our shit!" Literally every one. Try it with any Republican policy. State their position, and then tag a panicked, "They're gonna take our shit!" at the end of it and tell me it doesn't work for EVERYTHING.

A democrat wakes up every morning worried that somewhere someone isn't getting what they need.
