The greatest trick conservatives played on us all is convincing everyone that things that have been around since ancient times like cannabis and trans people are "new and strange" and simultaneously that laws passed under Reagan are basic human nature that has always been that way

The biggest trick conservatives ever played was convincing people that they should not be strung up next to the other serial killers. The very CONCEPT of conservativism is "things changed and that was bad, so we should go back to the way things were." And the only rational response to that is 1/2

The amount of bullshit structures in this nation that got ratfucked into existence by think tanks, reagan and jack welch is absolutely absurd.

Cannabis (first identified mention in the Rg Veda) is at least 700 years older than the bible.

When I build my time machine my first stop is reagan sometime before 1960

from millennials' and zoomers' perspective things have always been stuck this way because our boomer/genX parents kept saying that this is just how the world works but they don't tell you that shit like credit scores were invented in 1989

Was watching a documentary in the history of movies and a black and white film from 1930ish had a whole song and dance routine about cannabis complete with large pot plants as background scenery

We should have all exiled conservatism as a philosophy when they proposed "corporations are people".

Second and third greatest tricks? 2. The GOP is the “Christian” party. 3. Giving everything to the rich creates jobs…

e.g. the “traditional family” that was fabricated in the 1950s.

It's impressive, in its fashion
