    Out of morbid curiosity I went on r/conservative to see what they were saying about the files.

    Go there and it’s like Epstein who? Not a single thread, it’s all threads attacking AOC or threads defending racism with more racism

      When they are faced down with something they fear, they revert back to their default state as a stress response.

        Nobody is more cowardly than Conservatives, it’s their baseline state at all times. They are constantly in a near state of panic over all their perceived enemies crashing through the door at any moment.

        That sub is a small sample of the conservative base. Virtually every conservative I talk to in person is simply more ignorant overall, and often just parrot talking points (like black men who voted for him saying he’s not racist because he donated to black colleges when Harris didn’t, but she sent innocent black men to jail, etc).

        They are literally and figuratively fucking dumb. Magical thinking, horoscope, and firmament believing nutters.
