The Left is Now the Right: We laughed at the Republican busybody who couldn't joke, declared war on dirty paintings, and peered through your bedroom window. Now that person has switched sides, and nobody's laughing

I remember the days when the conservatives were in power. They did a pretty bad job, which is why people switched to the left. But the left today are far more destructive than the right ever was. Conservatives never went rampaging, and encouraging violence against everyone that breathed. But that's not to say the left have all bad ideas. Maybe a couple of their ideas are alright, and should be adopted by conservatives.

Yeah I agree, George Bush Jr being an absolute trainwreck who caused 2 wars costing us over $2 trillion dollars and the lives of half a million people... so it's no wonder people swung to the left. But this fast swinging from left to right and back again seems to be desired by those in power. Divide and conquer.

What they don't want is people waking up to this sham of a dupoloy system, and realizing that neither of the two groups of people in power give a shit about any of us in any real way. Authoritarians are all the same, whether red or blue
