The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” when they voted recently to weaken her powers and hire a new director of state courts.

      It seems like most conservatives in power have this cognitive dissonance where they see themselves as nobility, chosen by god to rule. So when they are voted out of office through the mere expression of democracy, they see it as some sort of peasant uprising that violates their warped understanding of what a government is supposed to be.

      We’re just slowly sliding back to feudalism.

      We want people to have the freedom to choose what we believe in. Anything else is clearly a mistake.

      That has become the Republican party line. Since Trump, they think that any democratic process outcome that is not in their favor is corrupt, and it must be undone. In short, fascism

      Well of course it is. The Dems let women and dark skinned people vote. Taking power away from the white… I mean the right!

        I maintain that the two biggest moments when conservatives shit their beds were when we left the planet for the first time and voted in a black president.

      That’s how conformist think. They want you to do as they say.
