The Conservative Civil War is Disconcerting
But they still have a common and enormous enemy that ain't goin' away soon. That should keep 'em together for awhile
Arguments among conservatives have been around longer than a pair of Ted Kaczynski underwear. As long as liberals are around, there'll be a group of conservatives to oppose them.
Every group has its factions. Frick, there are factions in my local Kiwanis Club over whether our fair food both should serve the pork burger with jalapeno or without jalapeno (it's WITH jalapeno, you sons-of-bitches!).
But as long as the group has a mission, it'll stick together.
That's crucial.
You can be an introvert overdosing on Valium: you still want to be with people. Maybe you don't want them in your grill for three hours straight, but you want some level of human interaction. Everyone is a social animal, except maybe the Japanese senzuri ("a thousand rubs"), those freaks of (un)nature who prefer masturbation to sex with women.
That's why centralized government is so evil. It eliminates the people by helping the people. By handling everything, Washington rubs out the need for local effort, which rubs out social cohesion, which rubs out social interaction to the point that culture develops a preference for isolation, and we get a bunch of young men who prefer to rub one out instead of taking the social effort to bang a woman.
And then, whammo! We need to import 60,000 Somalis and give them keys to the Brinks truck to get the 7.65% from their paycheck to prop up our defective Social Security system that takes care of our elderly so our local groups don't haffta.
Liberals want everyone masturbating. Isolated, alone, not forming socially cohesive units.
They don't think that's what their programs do, but the guy who drinks at the bar until closing every night and then comes home and uses the clothes hamper for a urinal doesn't think he's trying to kill his marriage, either.
And as long as liberals exist, as long as they're trying to lock every person into his own wanking room, there will be conservatives who coalesce to resist. Conservatives want to kill whatever gosh-awful machine of destruction gave us COVID lockdowns, federally-mandated dicks in girls locker rooms, and a hologram for a president.
They might not agree on much, but they agree that Satan sucks. That's enough.
