Check out this video for a bonus dunk. From the description:

How the fuck could someone possibly think this. Like how. If the left even got a third of what we wanted, most of us would be fucking thrilled. How do rightoids get 95% of what they want and still act like they're losing?
Those kind of right wingers believe it's all or nothing, they either have the ability to completely eradicate their enemies or the world is lost. The core of their ideology is a death drive to eliminate the entire world simply to stop any progressive elements from existing. I don't remember who said it, I think it was someone here, who said the final battle fascists have would be eliminating women. It's the last distinction they could oppress and kill before destroying themselves.
This kind of thing filters into basic everyday liberals too, who will do things like refuse to call someone racist unless they hear the person vocally say the n-word. Or the whole "I'm not racist, I have black friends." It's also a tool to continuously ratchet up the extreme claims the right makes. They have to continue pounding away for more and more domination to make their next mainstream policy seem sane by comparison. It's mainstream conservative ideology right now that all undocumented immigrants should be shot at the border and all gay teachers are pedophiles, stuff that was fringe just 10 years ago.

:yea: :doomer:
Because they think the cultural Marxists have infiltrated all the schools, that rainbow capitalism means that all the CEOs have gone socialist, that media is controlled by the left, and that because there's occasionally a black or female character in their video games that the left has taken complete control of the culture too.
I watched that to see if anyone saw what I saw.
Predictably, the liberal could only see two options: a rabbit and a duck.
The liberal is unable to see the true form: a man with a big nose looking skyward.
This symbolises the liberal’s inability to break out of the two party system.
I see a doodle you fucked up & now are trying to pass off as "interpretative art". I know it, because I am well familiar with this strategy. 👀
Wittgeinstein failing his art exam but passing his philosophy capstone with honors using the same drawing.
liberals would rather believe in phrenology to explain political differences than inherent material conflicts
Also lol at trying to explain political divides without even mentioning the existence of conflicting material interests
wym that's the only way reactionaries fight, without mentioning material interests
They'd be much happier if they thought in material terms, because they'd realize they're getting almost everything they want
Well that's because American politics are completely divorced from material conditions. You can't explain the divide between a dem voter and a rep voter based on material interests, because both groups are usually voting against their own material interests.
Bigger Finland but they also split the Kola peninsula in two by some unknown means
"Explains political divides" that's cute. Sure they "just see things with a different lens" but that lens is jewish space lasers. They don't actually believe in jewish space lasers, if you really pushed them, it's just convenient to them to examine the world through the lens of jewish space lasers, and you can't prove that they don't believe in jewish space lasers.
