    No surprise. They were full of shit then, they still are.

    That’s the reason why arguing with fascism is always a waste of time and resources. They’re full of shit. They can bullshit you to death.

        It’s always about themselves. They lack empathy. They can’t fathom the importance of protecting others, but will always protect themselves.

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

      See, we are principled, so when they call us on it we feel bad. They are incapable of feeling bad so anything works for them, whether it makes any sense or not. This is why you can’t reason someone out of a position they did not use reason to get to. We should all just stop listening to them, period. Let them bitch and moan into the void, where their bitching belongs.

    I mean the people on the other side have moved too, from “just comply with the stuff” to “know your constitutional rights, never comply, fight back”.

    The two switched positions hah

    That’s an ignorant take.

    It’s a dog whistle. They just assume that their group would never be targeted. What they are saying is:

    ‘The government is gonna weed out the “impure” from anyone who isn’t republican.’

    Edit: looks like most people are missing my point (possibly should have been more clear). I think it’s ignorant to think they are thinking of rules that apply to everyone. This is more about in group and out group logic.

    The mask thing was rules for the in groups, so they oppose. ICE is taking the rights of the out group (minorities and leftists), so no problem from their view.

      It’s an ignorant take to point out the facts that happened? Literally nothing was inferred here except for whatever you came up with in your head

        I don’t think they’re saying the OP is dog whisteling. He’s saying the conservative “just obey” attitude is a dog whistle because racists think it will never be applied to them. They say “just comply” but they’re really talking to minorities.
