Nah, fuck that. The only difference is that older conservatives hid their bigotry better. They were smarter. But they were no less manipulative or oppressive. They voted and cheered for people who flooded poor neighbourhoods with drugs to create their war on drugs, so they could target blacks and hippies, drastically increased the gap between rich and poor, have supreme court justices appointed over 3 decades ago that still wreak havoc on human rights today.

Edit: some*** older conservatives

Conservative's parents at age 24: Let's vote for Reagan

FTFY

They aren't even that. Each of them are now nothing more than a network of speakers. They get sent their right wing messaging and start blasting whatever the message of the week is; Somali daycares, trans agenda, Iran dangerous to America, regulation bad. They dont need to reprogram everyone, not even most. 1/3rd will do the trick.

We're living in the Porky's butthole timeline and we're idealizing circa Gen X conservatives like this?
