Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Do Republicans Like ANYTHING?" video.
@mtn1793 Adam Tooze the Economics Historian in a discussion with Mark Blyth called them the GOP a "ruthlessly cynical political actor." They'll scream and yell about the Dems doing something and when they do exactly that things telling everyone its something else entirely. its seems to be a very right wing thing EVERYWHERE. Here in Australia, we just voted them out of power and no sooner had they been booted out they started screaming about holding the incoming Labor Party government accountable. Just this week we found out the previous Prime Minister (Scott Morrison) secretly breached our constitution. Plus their spokesman on the military blasted off about solving our navy's submarine problem when he'd had 8 years to fix it AND FAILED. There seems to be this incredulous hypocrisy with right wing parties these days. How often do we hear; "We are the party of Law and order" and we see them break laws. "We are the party of a strong military" and we they make stupid military mistakes and solve them with more spending. "We are the financially responsible party" and we see them pander to the banks and spend like drunken frat boys. I'm not saying the Left in any country are innocent of political shitfuckery (as we now call it) but the Right everywhere seem to have taken it to new levels in recent years.

Actually some of them like Disney because it reinforces their fantasies. Some of them like the NFL because its shows that black people are only good for certain roles in society. The do hate those NFL players, like Colin Kaepernick, who buck that fantasy. Some of them like targets especially when those targets are in the shape of a deer. Some of them like certain parks especially the ones they can shoot stuff.

And for the religious ones ask them to explain Matthew Chapter 7. And before they object, point out that you know that's Jesus himself speaking. If you don't know Matthew 7 is the 3rd of 3 chapters covering the Sermon on the Mount and its all about frauds. The first 2 chapters are all about being sensible and nice but the 3rd chapter is a warning. Yes Jesus himself not only predicted frauds would exist but told people how to identify them. Its also not the only time Jesus or the other disciples warned about frauds, but its the most significant because its part of the Sermon on the Mount.
