Irony
The most radical government in US history calls itself #Conservative

@Greenseer while I fully agree that this #labour party is #conservative . I also think the Conservatives are now fascist so in that way the Labour Party is still ‘better’ but a very long way from being good.
Karla Denyer makes a good point on tonight's #Peston
"Why, if a recent poll shows 75% of #Conservative voters want to see #Green policies, is #Badenoch rowing back on Theresa May's 2050 #NetZero committments?"

"nine of the top ten #online shows are right-leaning...
right-leaning online shows have amassed nearly 481 million #followers across platforms — almost five times more than the 104 million followers for left-leaning shows...

@GottaLaff In the #Yukon, the #Conservative Party excluded #journalists from witnessing the #election of their candidate. How can we #trust these people?
The #Conservative Party supports the #WelfareBenefits cuts that the #Labour Party is about to make.
Think about that.
#heritagefoundation gathered hardline #conservative groups on 11 March to debate on a new paper entitled: “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the 21st Century”.
It proposes dismantling the European Commission and the European Court of Justice. It claims that the “ #eu is evolving into a quasi-federal state, limiting national decision-making power” and is imposing “ideologically motivated policies on member states, without any mandate”.
DeSmog · Heritage Foundation and Allies Discuss Dismantling the EUThe group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU). The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures […]
This is partly why I think the #fediverse could give the building blocks to slow this down by neutralizing right-wingers to buying up the advertising and followers. But I don't see that happening for a long time.

@the5thColumnist PS--Some #AI like #Google #Gemini will refuse to answer questions about #Wealthy #White #Conservative #Politicians. Learn about AI.

#Trump's #MAGA allies on Sat had 2 #conservative #SupremeCourt justices in their crosshairs after a fed judge put a stop to the President's plans to deport individuals the administration says are members of a gang.
#InnerCityPress reported on Saturday that Chief Judge #Boasberg said, "AUSA, you must inform your client immediately. Any plane in the air must be returned to the US. You must make sure this is complied with immediately."

@WarnerCrocker Which #AI did your Nephew use? They are not all the same. Moreover, they are very much like #SpecialNeedsStudents. Some can see images while others are blind. Some can remember past conversations, others can not. Some can fold proteins. Some, like Google Gemini, will refuse to answer political questions about #Wealthy #White #Conservative #Politicians

Yes. My father was a #conservative #Republican. He died while #Reagan was in the White House. My mother was a #Democrat. It was my dad who took me to political events when I was in high school.
He expected electeds to do their jobs. That is, represent the voters who put them there. This why I can legitimately name things Republicans supported that were actually good for people.
- Exploring cloud seeding to combat drought as an alternative to
rerouting or damming waterways.
- Ethanol in gasoline. The idea was it burned cleaner and would be a way to use agricultural overproduction as well as use waste from food crops.
- Universal Basic Income. Nixon supported UBI, but his crookedness tainted the idea.
In the late 1970s, the #FBI ran an operation called Abscam, targeting corruption. The Republican rep for my dad's district not only turned down the bribe, he reported it to the FBI.
These assclowns are not conservative. Move fast and break shit is the exact opposite of conserving. Redundancy is conservative; efficiency is not.
In 2017, this dickwad, Kevin O'Leary, campaigned to be leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. He dropped out one month before the election, citing a lack of support in Quebec.
O'Leary says “Elon’s not cutting enough” and wants “more wacking", whereupon Bakari Sellers points out that government is not a business.
Disney live-action movies are often accompanied by grand fanfare, but that's not happening for "Snow White." @Gizmodo explains why Disney is scaling back the movie's launch. "It’s beginning to feel like just another thing Disney has rolled back on to capitulate to conservatives, not unlike Pixar’s 'Win or Lose' trans storyline erasure," writes Sabina Graves.
Gizmodo · Why Is Disney Burying Snow White?As Disney looks to stage a diminished premiere for its latest live-action adaptation, it marks the end of a long and winding road of the studio's similarly long-and-winding lack of confidence in the film.

the #conservative mind operates on #fear
overactive amygdala
it crowds out the prefrontal cortex: reason
#plutocrat #rightWing #media and #socialMedia amplifies the imbalance on purpose
pushing lies that goose the fear, #ignorance and #hate, capturing their minds, addicting them, controlling them
as suitably brainwashed zombies, programmed like robots, they dutifully and enthusiastically go to #vote
while the #left is not so engaged
this is our problem
In the US, "#conservative" is shorthand for things like authoritarian, corrupt, racist, etc., and for the exact opposite of the verbal root to conserve, since such people have no problem with selling out life on earth for corporate cash.
#FuckSCOTUS
Here are faces of Canadian Conservative Christo-fascism, aka neonazis/trumpkins.
Who elects them? Not just vote for them, they were elected by enough supporters. A deviant sickness has infected our communities. It needs to be stopped.
We must eliminate the fascist Conservatives this election and every election afterward. They must never gain power.
