    I am European. I seriously can’t understand why USA conservatives (referring strictly to republicans in this case) are so extremely regressive to the point of hurting themself.

    I feel like much of their talk is influencing bad ideas here too.

      Because they found out that if there is a large unhappy with their life, it’s a lot easier to sell them a lie that promises a “solution” to their every problem. Same thing is happening in Europe, just a bit delayed.

      Because they think it makes them look “tough” in front of other like-minded idiots. Thats the thing they care most about. Not compassion, or equality, or anything like actual fairness…just trying to look “tough”.
