I’m no George Carlin, so I guess you’ll need to go slowly when you explain to me which part of this is supposed to be the punchline and why.
- Various conservative extremists do a bunch of domestic terrorism.
- People point out that a bunch of domestic terrorism is being done by conservative extremists.
- CPAC, which is like the San Diego Comiccon of conservatives says “We are all domestic terrorists”.
The implication is that they are doing an “I’m Spartacus!” to stand with these extremists rather than distancing themselves from them. So they either want those extremists to feel welcome in their tent for what can only be horrifying reasons, or they’re just trying to be edgy xhardcorex tweens to bait a reaction aka “trigger the libs lol”. But nobody is triggered. Instead people are just kinda pointing and going “those weirdos are just shamelessly admitting to being on board with killing people to get their way?” Because most people are not chronically online. Most people probably don’t pay that much attention to politics. So when they see one party openly admitting to doing terrorism in a post 9/11 world, they are rightfully confused. Even moreso when that same party is remaining fairly successful. Sidenote: remember when the Dixie Chicks got cancelled by the right for saying they were ashamed that Bush was from Texas right as we were gearing up to invade Iraq under intentionally misleading pretenses? Not really relevant to this, just remembered it while thinking about how fucking weird everybody got right after 9/11. Freedom fries and shit. Cringe.
I don’t think that was dementia. Profoundly stupid, yes, but that’s different.
What if trump is just the monkeys paw fulfillment of “I wish George Bush weren’t the dumbest fucking president in American history”?
