Have You Seen That TV Sitcom?

I shared this the other day, and I've been thinking about it a lot since then. It really makes sense when I think about all of the conservatives or republicans that I've known throughout my life. The things they say would often confuse me because it often sounded like they believed that SOME people deserved certain things while OTHER people did not...and that never made sense to me, because I was led to believe from a young age that we are all supposed to be equal, that our country fought a civil war but that the end result is that we are all now equal and we all have the same rights. I could never process it when a conservative would act like some people aren't worthy of those rights, because it went so far against everything I was taught as a child. The concept of a hierarchical society really sheds light on how they really think.
The core premise of conservatism is respect for and obedience to hierarchy, and facing accountability is meant for those [perceived to be] on the lower echelons of social hierarchy, never for those above.
Conservatism -- by definition -- is "a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions (such as religion, the family, and class structure), and preferring gradual development to abrupt change".
The sole value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one's perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.
To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on top [of social hierarchy] to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom. The first greatest injustice is for those on the bottom to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top.
Conservatives absolutely need an underclass [for society] to demonize and dehumanize in order to maintain [their] hierarchy, and every single one of their policies and rhetoric work to do exactly that. Unless the accusation is one of disrespecting hierarchy, every right-wing accusation is a confession -- every. single. one; always! -- as it is never the act itself that upsets them, but rather, the social standing of the person doing the act, as said act is a privilege meant for those on top of [their perceived] hierarchy (See also: pedophilia - Trump and the Catholic church versus LGBTQ+ and drag queens; protests - January 6th vs. BLM and No Kings; parental rights - anti-LGBTQ+ vs pro-LGBTQ+; indoctrination - religion vs. education).
Those who believe all people are people see hypocrisy, while those who believe some people are "more/less" people than others see hierarchy. Hypocrisy implies a sense of equality/parity, as the accusation of such is that someone is violating a universal or common standard. Hierarchy directly states that there is no equality/parity, that different social strata have different standards, that the only universal standard concerning hierarchy is that those on top are allowed privileges which are denied to those on the bottom, and that the bottom are held to standards which the top are exempt from.
"Know your place" is their mantra.
I believe that the First Step is to Remove All Republicans from Public Office... The USA always works better when Democrats are in Control... Better Jobs... More Money... Cleaner Environment... New Inventions... Better Science...

Another thing we can do is drive gasoline powered cars and trucks Much Less... A big problem is that people are stuck commuting long distances to get to work... What if we moved "The Office" to abandoned shopping malls? Malls are located near where people live...
And on a personal level... Next time you change jobs, put a short commute as a high priority... Sure, high pay is a big factor but wasting your life commuting to work is insane.

The Trump Pansies are already making plans to abandon the Sinking Ship MAGA Moron...
They're dreaming of the day when...
They can get a Think Tank Job, Lucrative Book Deal, Speaking Tours, Retirement in Friendly South American Countries... The future Looks Great!
Maybe get a job as a part-time professor at Stanford? Like Condoleezza Rice or Michael Milken... Become a Talking Head on TV News like John Dean, Woodward and Bernstein... Or maybe retire to a compound on the Chesapeake Bay like SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld... He had a lovely home in a Gated Guarded Community... And all he did for the rest of his life was whatever he wanted to do whenever he wanted to do it! Or you could go back to the ranch like Lyndon Johnson did and drink yourself to death... That's an option...
As of March 3, 2026, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States is $3.11 --- Prices recently jumped by approximately 11 cents per gallon overnight due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
*AI Overview*
Reports indicate that recently Donald Trump’s inner circle has been plagued by locusts, intense internal infighting, backstabbing, the Potomac River turning red with blood and questioning of loyalties, reminiscent of the book Revelation in the Bible. Fissures have deepened over national security and personnel, with far-right influencers Questioning the trustworthiness of his staff and IF He Really IS the One True God!
I just watched this:"How Cults End" - an Insightful Video. The #1 Cause: The Leader Dies. The #2 Cause: The Inner Circle Turns on the Leader. ET TU, BRUTE?

...and that made me think... I could make memes that appear to be the Inner Circle turning on the leader... Simply type false statements on the pictures... And post them on social media...
Disclaimer! This is satire, mockery, ridicule...
It's a joke! Really! Ha Ha!



and then on Faceborg someone asked:
Serious question. Do you fear nukes being used?
And I replied:
No... Because I live near Ground Zero... And if we have World War 3, I won't notice, I'll be dead... So I have no fear... I actually got over the concern about nuclear war when I was in third grade... My elementary school had Atomic evacuation drills... And we were sent home to be with our families in the case of nuclear war... And my mom told me that I should go sit on top of the hill behind the house because that way I'd be able to have a good view of Armageddon... It's a great place to watch the fireworks of the end of the world...
