I could buy 4 eggs with that!

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

This is known.

I now just keep this tab open on my phone so I don’t have to search for it to share it:
The 4 Boxes of Liberty

One of the things I’ve learned is that folks struggle with satire that is ironic or bitter rather than outright foolish. It’s like there’s a blind spot for ironic double speak.

It’s about 60/40 on whether someone is going to come along, miss the subtext, and lead a charge against your tone without actually giving your words a second thought or whether someone is going to offer support for or explain your statement.
Once that first response casts the die, you’re just along for the ride. No one else can see any perspective but that first interpretation.

A+, though. I see you.
Funny and sardonic.
