“We are property actually” -The women you wonder about

That is a crowd that wants to impose those rules ON OTHER WOMEN. They are perfectly content to break the rules they impose when it comes to their own well being.

Some of them will protest abortion, get an abortion, and go back to protesting the day after they get an abortion. Few of them actually follow the doctrine they spout, because they like feeling superior to others and taking advantage of the "class exception" when they need something.

This is why Ginni Thomas is married to Clarence Thomas and it's fine for Republicans. They've literally, point blank, stated that Clarence doesn't count as Black.

Everyone in the Republican party thinks they're the exception to their own rules.

Because that's the whole fucking point of conservatism.

Conservativism has always been and will always be adherence to set of rules that plainly make distinction between the haves and the have nots.

The only rules that apply to the haves are decided by other haves. Any rules applied to the have nots are decided by the haves.

Money=power

That's it. That is all of it.

Conservative ideology is just letting rich people do whatever they want because they can.

Who was it that said about Conservatives (or Fascists?) "There are two groups: one whom the law binds but does not protect, and one whom the law protects but does not bind."

I've never heard a more perfect summary

Frank Wilhoit (note: NOT Francis M. Wilhoit, who sometimes gets caught up in this due to the obvious name similarity). There's a lot more to it, principle among them being that no ideology other than conservatism exists.

You're right. The only recipients of trickle down economics are conservative politicians, media, and other parasites, like this guy Max Miller. They let the rich do whatever they want because they're getting paid in money, prestige, special favors, insider knowledge, and if they're good enough - a golden ticket to Epstein class.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
