    could we have a bare minimum tho? like, a civics test, because I’m really getting the impression these conservative fucks don’t understand the basics. At all. And when you only have vague knowledge of what’s right and wrong, allowing tyranny to slip by is just a lil’ ooopsie. But if we test incoming pols for the basics, when they violate their oaths to the constitution they can then be held accountable.

    Now it’s just open season for any moron to come bumbling through the senate/house at state or federal level and claim they interpreted things differently while grifting the fuck out of what few freedoms remain.

      Conservatives are the most morally bankrupt of them all. Don’t let them trick you into believing they dont know civics. They know, and actively subvert it. At the end of the day regressives regress all the way down to authoritarians. Authoritarians derive morality from within themselves. So its basically Calvin ball but they want you to think its liberty.
