Biden is already sending them. The conservatives listed here are on-record opposing Ukrainian support. Now they are pretending Biden isn’t doing enough. This isn’t about helping Ukraine. This is just about inventing reasons to be angry at Biden.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. It is not possible for a conservative to be honest. Never, ever trust the word of a conservative. Never.
After the weapons arrive, they’ll start saying, “Why are we just giving away Americans’ most powerful weapons to Ukraine? They’ve already killed hundreds of thousands of Russians with our weapons. We should be taking care of our own people back home, not supporting mass murderers.” Meanwhile, they absolutely don’t give a fuck about people “back home”.
i dislike the idea that your political leanings make you untrustworthy (generally). i hold a number of positions that would be considered to be conservative. i don’t feel that my political beliefs make me untrustworthy. being a member of the US Republican party shift things a bit, because the organization has shown that it prefers power over honesty so voluntary membership reveals a few things about you. but that’s the party. the US Republican party i don’t believe can be trusted, but having conservative leanings doesn’t make one untrustworthy.
Unfortunately, every conservative party I know of has gone full on batshit, so you can understand why people associate conservative supporters with that mindset. It must be hard to have genuinely oldschool conservative values right now if you’re not of the vast cadre of people who are only conservative because the shithead parties say what makes them feel good.
