Conservatives are trying to conserve all the wealth for the top 1%.
Liberals are trying to liberate the middle class and all working Americans.
conservatives are conserving the constitution
liberals are larping faggots liberating "oppressed minorities" with communism
Conservatives: Trying to wipe out browns
Secondary goal: Try to disenfranchise working whites and concentrate all wealth to the CEO class. End goal society: Elysium
Liberals: Trying to turn the entire country brown
Secondary goal: Higher taxes on working whites to fund gibs for browns. End goal society: Camp Of The Saints
liberals are ass licking commies.
Conservatives want to conserve the constitution as originally written and intended.
What this guy said:
Also, you have to go back
the answer to both of your questions is: money.
conservatives try to conserve the money in your pocket in the form of lower taxes.
liberals try to liberate you from the money in your pocket in the form of welfare programs.
trump is in violation of the Emoluments clause and is shitting on the Constitution everyday
as if you give a shit about the constitution leaf.
don't forget he's not as bad as obama was, he basically wiped his ass with the constitution daily.
reminder:
if you weren't upset by that but you are with trump you are quite conveniently not paying attention when democrats do it and are a massive hypocrite, aka why trump won. thanks obama.
trump is the worst
wrong, obama was the worst.
if you disagree you weren't paying attention.
trump is the worst. u can't even defend him so u GOP shills have to use obama as a security blanket
it's pathetic
Bait leaf, day of the rake is coming for you and trudumdum
Both sides are different takes on liberalism, the ruling ideology of America. If you want to understand it then study the history of liberalism.
The supreme court famously ruled 9 times that the executive branch was overreaching its authority while Obama was in office. This became a conservative meme for years while the silent truth was eight of those nine overreaches were Bush era republican policies that Obama felt he didn't have the authority to end without the fulk support of both sides of the aisle and because a terrorist attack after ending the Bush era policies would have tanked the democrats in the midterms.
No one is claiming both sides aren't shit. But one side doesn't smell like roses just because they are backed by a constituent who would let them do anything as long as abortion is an issue.
That is all American politics is about abortion. No other issue has as much political weight in the ballot box.
Republicans: favor smaller government, want less laws and regulations, tend to favor hands-off economics or protectionism/American system. A majority of whites and rural people vote this way, including most Christians and Southerners.
Democrats: big government, Keynes economics, gibs, and bleeding-heart issues. Made up of minorities and coast dwellers.
So the differences lie in which races and classes of people get to keep money. Conservatives try to keep as much to themselves (or possibly to the most wealthy) and liberals want to use everyone's money to help other people (or possibly only help minorities)?
2 more questions -
Who are these brown people and why do they need help?
Whats the constitution have to do with any of this?
bush was just as bad as obama but with obama you couldn't call out because that made you a racist or something.
liberals want to metaphorically burn the constitution to pander to minority interest groups so they can score points and gain more voters.
Nice fantasies. Back in reality, Republicans love big goberment more than anyone and always expand goberment and explode the deficit
Federal budget deficit climbs 66% in May

Leaf talking... Your pm is a paedophile.

And you can't even form your own words, so you use CNN's.
Conservatives are liberals and liberals are social democratic.
And with Bush it made you a terrorist sympathizer who wasn't a real patriot. In personal experiences, far more liberals disagreed with Obama than conservatives with Bush, especially after the whistleblower/Snowden controversy.
Both sides have become nasty catering to bullshit social issues like race and abortion that should have always remained state issues given how our country was established. Until there's a third constitutional convention (and I dread that say) we are still a union of states, not a cohesive government. And the executive branch has no place interfering with that, republican (forcing state and city police to do the work of federal agents) or democrat (forcing welfare programs on States paid for by other states).
>u can't even defend him
You seem to be doing an amazing job of defending Obama. I mean, your comment of "trump is the worst" was one of the most insightful, eloquent, and enlightening things I have ever had the undeserved pleasure of reading.
Faggot.
trump is not PM dumbass
What are progressives progressing towards?
>Protip it's all faggotry
the worst part about obama is the lack of transparency on what he did and honesty about him as a person.
everyone shat on bush fine but the moment you tried that with obama, UR RACIST.
Depends on where you lived. I moved from CA to SC while Obama was in office. Went from no one ever discussing politics ever to hearing weekly about what a nightmarish hellscape America had become under Obama.
Which I thought was weird given none of his policies had any real impact in SC where the governor and senator kept blocking everything the feds tried to do.
... (continued) meanwhile half the state's young men went off to risk life and limb in Iraq because "he was a monster to his citizens" because apparently foreigner social issues are worth dying for?
