Murder Spree in America continues

[Jason Harvestdancer]

MAGA wants to get back to those days. Rubella, racism, rubber baby buggy bumpers for all women, and all.

Source?

Well....

• the Trump announcement on splitting off the vaccines, pushing and legitimizing the bogus "danger" of vaccines.
• All of the recent defense of Kirk's racist statements
• The have more babies movement

Why, sure.
A good source of rubella is RFK Jr. Just ask Samoans about 2019.
A good source of racism, going back decades, is Trump. No less a figure than Paul Ryan, after hearing Trump's comments on Judge Curiel. called them "the textbook definition of a racist comment."
A good source of rubber etc. is our friend J.D.: "We're effectively run by childless cat ladies, who are miserable in their own lives."

I’d like to correct what I see as a misconception. Trump supporters are not necessarily conservative (certainly not in the traditional sense).

Many are conservative by the definition I learned in high school: A conservative is someone who wishes to either maintain the status quo or return to a period of time in the past.

Current conservatives wish to return to somewhere between the 1930’s and the 1950’s, when women, colored folks and queers all knew their places and did not complain about it ( they think.) Of course the more radical conservatives would like to return to the 1850’s or earlier. They are somewhat flexible about the melanin levels of ‘the help.’

What is this "conservatism" of which we speak? It seems to me that what constitutes liberal or conservative in political discourse is highly contextual. Right now, anything Trump says is "conservative", because he is the figurehead of the conservative party, and legislators and voters alike who are in the conservative faction will follow wherever he leads.
