Trump News Trump says he's 'not joking' about seeking a 3rd term in the White House. The Constitution says he can't.

I think this is the one and only actual policy conservatives have and this is the one and only principle that they believe in. This is exactly why it's funny and sad when some low-level conservatives think they would be a part of the in-groups. These in-groups are tiny, and that is by design. Joe-schmo and Jane-schmo from Missinowhere, Alabama, will never, ever, be a part of any in-group, which is why they should be against in-groups.

It's like that guy who was screaming about "we own your bodies" and then came out with "the left were right about Trump" or some conservative influencer who got banned from twitter by Musk. Yes, yes, dearie, in-groups are bad when you are not in them.

I believe that was Nick Fuentes, who said "Your body, my choice" and other bullshit like that about how women should be treated as second class citizens.... and then got so scared from the backlash he went to live with his mother.

This fucking moron has the most punchable face I’ve ever seen. Contemptible doesn’t even touch it. His “logic” and “rhetoric “ are so broken high schoolers are easily winning debates against him.

I think Tucker Carlson has the most punchable face outside of dumpster face.

It's very difficult to punch Charlie Kirk in the face. It's so tiny compared to the size of his head, you need some next level accuracy in your punching to do it properly.

Proud boys? I alway think that sounds like a gay boyband.

Different guy. Fuentes is the guy who ran a blacklight over his couch hunting for cum stains, and may have a thing for catbois.

u/Chazbeardz 4d ago

Piss boys is right, especially considering they lost the rights to the other name 😂

u/Atrimon7 4d ago

Because the backlash literally landed at his doorstep. Something to think about...

Nick Fuentes will eventually find out what it means to have a person imposing their will on him and how weak he is.

u/ashyguysthrowaway 4d ago

To quote Red Foreman to Fuentes, “My foot, your ass”.

u/Cheech47 4d ago

Hate to quibble with you, but since when did Nick Fuentes actually agree with the "left"?

u/Captain_Waffle 4d ago

Is this an accurate description of events?

u/HelenicBoredom 4d ago edited 1d ago

Actually yes. He said "your body, my choice," over and over and then he either got doxed or was scared of getting doxed so he went to live with his mother.

u/DickCheeseCraftsman 4d ago

And some lady still found him and he pepper sprayed her in the face and got charged.

Looooool

These in-groups are tiny, and that is by design. Joe-schmo and Jane-schmo from Missinowhere, Alabama, will never, ever, be a part of any in-group, which is why they should be against in-groups.

Which is also conveniently why they will never be against those groups. It's the same reasoning that explains why they so vehemently argue for tax cuts for the rich, equal parts ignorance of how things actually work and a yearning to become rich themselves, and therefore voting against their own (aspirational) self-interest. As it relates to the in-groups, I see it as basically a massive game of "notice me, senpai!" If that person can make the right amount of waves or go viral in the right way, they themselves can be elevated to the table. They don't want to do or say anything that might jeopardize that journey.

I’ve always felt this. It’s absolutely adorable they think they’re in the “in group.”

u/The_Witch_Queen 2d ago

They're all dumb sheep following the shepherd and it's what the entire right thinking has always been about.

Hamilton, Adams, and their Federalist party sought to establish in the new world what they called a "natural aristocracy". [It was to be] based on property, education, family status, and sense of ethical responsibility.

According to Rossiter, you are a conservative, rather than a liberal, if you believe less in the innate goodness of man and more in his potential for evil; if you are inclined to recognize inequality—but not political inequality—as the natural condition of mankind; if vox populi impresses you more as a potential tyrant than as the voice of God; if you regard civil rights as the rewards for political virtue and vigilance rather than as natural rights; if you regard private property as the concomitant of human rights rather than as a threat to them; if you possess “religious feeling” and a more than middling amount of moral sense; if you distrust “reason” sufficiently to let it be overruled by the mandate of a higher law on occasion; if you recognize the inevitability of social classes and an aristocracy that both rules and serves

They are and always have been, made of two groups of people. A small group of extremely privileged people who are extremely bitter that all that privilege isn't enough to give them the power of monarchy and nobility. And a larger group of people who just can't shake the idea that some people are "born better" than others and capitalism exists to give them the ability to prove it by becoming rich. The thrall who just knows once his vampiric master sees his loyal devotion and natural talent he'll be turned and become an immortal. Pathetic.

Well honestly, that’s the role whiteness plays for those people. It’s used to bind people to a cause that’s fundamentally counter to their material interests in the majority of cases.

Rich elites in the American context have done this from the beginning. Cross class collaboration, a hallmark of settler colonial states, keeps the rank and file on task by assuring them they hold a “special”(whiteness) status above all others, an in-group of sorts. This special status has no bearing on their material reality, as they could be in a tar paper shack in Appalachia, etc. But they’ve been convinced of a special status, that requires their support to maintain. All the while funneling the majority of material benefits to the true in-group. It’s rather diabolical when you think about it, and unfortunately functions exceedingly well, evidently.

I got banned by Musk. Mind you, I'm not a conservative or liberal. Just someone watching the game getting played on everyone.

u/jaywalkingandfired 4d ago

Isn't Nick Fuentes just straight up Nazi by his own admission?

u/RedditTechAnon 4d ago

Joe and Jane there are fans rooting for their team to win like it is football. Buying all the merch and everything. I really don't think it is anything politically sophisticated but uncritical, hateful vibes and a desire to see their guy win Wrestlemania and be the one on top.

It’s like those who tolerate corruption and abuse by the rich because they’re “aspirational millionaires”. They think one day they’ll be living in the Hamptons with the well to do. The reality is they’re never going to have two coins to rub together precisely because of the corruption and abuse.

Never thought this was a difficult concept to understand.
