Imagine thinking decadence is a bad thing
“are children today too happy and well fed?”
Two kinds of people.
1
I suffered to get where I am, no one should have to go through that, we can do better.
2
I suffered to get where I am, everyone should suffer like I did.The conservative mindset is #2, “No one should have it better than me!”
You’re forgetting 3. If people who are in an out-group aren’t suffering more than I am, I feel oppressed.
A more simpler description is … “the universe should revolve around me and my personal happiness and freedom” … Therefore … “If anyone disagrees with that, then they are communists and anarchists that want to destroy world order … my world order”
It’s a mentality that always revolves around them
Decadence while ~60% of the us live paycheck to paycheck def is
Yeah, but that’s not the decadence they’re talking about. They mean things like “feeling like yourself” and “having good sex.”
Ok my dumbass doesn’t know what that word means lmao. Thought it meant great excess, luxury, etc. but it’s more all the negative things associated with those.
- A process, condition, or period of deterioration or decline, as in morals or art; decay.
I think the big issue is that the Republican definition for it is closer to: when minorities have it too good by not being murdered often enough.
Democrats fear fascism, Republicans WANT fascism.
I guess I’m worried primarily about internal enemies too, but I don’t think we’d agree on which entities are the problem for some reason…
Republicans are certainly not worried about a lack of values and decency when they are going to nominate a criminal rapist and fraud artist.
Democrats electoral strategy involves following Republicans to the right in a vain effort to capture some of their base
to be clear: this poll kind of actually exists, but I want to know: did you edit any of that in, and if so, which part?
“What do you fear?” is not very specific, is there another question the title is supposed to be referring to?
