I’ll say it again: there’s no such thing as the “rational conservative.” Deep down, they’re all disgusting.

I came for this. Yeoman’s work, you’re doing here.
I admire your commitment, here. You are very online right now.
Hold on. You were talking about the distinction, or lack thereof, between liberal and progressive. That’s were you started. Saying that one was the same as the other before 2000. Your argument that the former just recently became “toxic” and that liberals turned into progressives is bullshit. Liberals have been…
Yeah, right. My entire argument about the failure of the democratic party is completely invalidated because I didn’t correctly place you, WonderZimms, on the political spectrum (I think I did, but this is growing tiresome; I care fuckall about your politics). Chive on, bro.
Oh, my mistake. You’re not a centrist. Does that make you feel better?
Your list is so compelling. I’m going to have to go lie down and think about my choices. Look, you keep singing the praises of David Frum and Ben Sasse. Keep trying to work toward that mythical center where you know it’s good policy because everyone walked away dissatisfied. You centrists are exceptionally…
This is demonstrably false. I’m not wikipedia, so look up “Progressivism in the United States.” and you’ll see that there were academic papers defining the term “progressive” in the fucking 1950's. Damn.
Don’t forget the copious Yaaaaassss Queenery.
Then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the word “liberal.” For example:
FUUUUUUUUUUCK. fuck.
No. I don’t. The party formula is the following:
That is not true. There is no such thing as the “rational conservative.” They all think exactly the same as Trump, they just wish he were more polite and genteel with his racism. There is no meaningful difference between mainstream republicans and the alt-right. There are, on the other hand, serious policy and…
What in the fuck are you talking about? The democrats always lose. It’s their cottage industry. They lost to Donald goddamn Trump. What fucking planet are you on?
Actually, don’t bother. I’ve already had my fill of bullshit for the day.
That’s a mischaracterization of what you’re calling the “progressive wing” based upon party propaganda. The message from the progressive wing is that it’s both class and race. That they are related, and while the democrats want to focus exclusively on race or identity, as they call it, progressives like Glenn Ford…
No. It’s obvious because the people that were purged from the party were progressives.
Yep.
Why don’t you read the fucking article:
