*Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a high-profile progressive, said he believes “the most effective pushback to Trump’s unconstitutional actions is to model a reverence for the Constitution and the rule of law.”
I think it’s fair to call the democrats the Conservative Party. The republicans are regressives, certainly. But the people plead for systemic change, and the democrats are just trying to conserve the same failed order that got us to this point.
I see them as basically leaning super hard into white man’s burden type racism and imperialism except they’ve replaced it with american and western capitalist burden so it’s less obviously racist and they can feel even more smug and superior to the rest of humanity
The theoretical roots of the US political divide goes back to: “We should kill all the natives because they’re racially inferior” vs “As a progressive, the natives are only culturally inferior, and if we destroy their culture and force them to adopt ours at gunpoint, we can make them civilized.” Underneath it all, that’s who they each are.
Pretty much this. The democrats are true conservatives that maintain the status quo with incremental change while republicans are reactionaries who want to regress to a nostalgic period from their childhood
First of all, this shit isn’t unconstitutional. That’s up to the Supreme court and they seem fine with it. Second, we have the premiere bourgeois constitution. That thing isn’t doing shit for me. The bill of rights we’re all supposed to love is just a list of things the state can’t do on your behalf.

Are you telling me a bunch of old rich people are fantastically out of touch with the common citizen?
Why, I shan’t believe it!

the constitution says slavery is allowed, you just have to have a judge sign off on it first
I wipe my ass with the magic parchment
The Republicans think the constitution was written by god himself and Democrats think they can combat that with American Civil Religion.
I always think of that painting whenever someone brings up Juche Necrotracy.
As long as they pray to the Founding Fathers enough, Trump will lose the Mandate of Washington and will be rendered powerless.
The guy who was trying to recruit a nazi to the DNC a couple weeks ago?
Oh? Did I miss this or forget?
He was at the forefront of liberals that were trying to bring Elon into the liberal establishment in the immediate wake of Elon’s catfight with Trump
Scratch a lib…
Amazing

Every time I hear democrats speak, I am reminded of the Android speech to Gohan from TAS
