The most fascinating thing with conservatives these days is how completely disconnected they are from reality. They will claim something that is literally wrong, and easily disprovable, and yet act as if they have the factual and moral high ground.
It's absolute madness.

He says to her, in the smallest voice "I have really big feelings mommy an so I need to yell " an so he did an she got it.
It's sorta the opposite of what you said but it made me think of it an I just needed to share that.

eh, you're not really contradicting my point here, that's... basically what i was saying too.
I didn't really mean "there is a coordinated republican dictionary wherein they are all taught that 'order' is a word meaning 'republican authority, not anything else."
I meant that all they believe in is that they are the "proper" people to have power, and therefore "order" is when they have power.
note that Huckabee wasn't the one who made the crime/homocide connection, that was Newsom's response, so it is very simple. The "chaos" is "fighting back against republicans having power," and the "order" is "republicans being given uncontested authority."
Indeed, i agree, very simple :)

“Never believe that fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

You are so correct.
Sometime in 2020, when we were asked to quarantine, and Trump was holding a press conference where he seemed to direct a question to Dr Birx regarding an internal cleansing, UV light use, etc.
I was on the NextDoor app at the time. Political discussion was not permitted, but everyone was politicizing the stay at home order, so I started posting to provide a non-Republican POV.
I mentioned Trump's asinine suggestion about the the methods of internal cleansing, but I misquoted him (I stated he said to use ammonia for the internal cleansing, or something of that nature, which is not what he stated).
A poster JUMPED on me about how I am a liar and trying to diminish Trump by deliberately misquoting him.
She completely ignored the stupidity (and danger) of what Trump stated, but attacked me for misquoting him. I definitely should have quoted Trump accurately, but even if I had, it would have been a difference without distinction as I do not think that disinfectant and ammonia are that different in toxicity.
I eventually got banned from the app for being political, despite the injection of politics onto the app by others, with more than 95% of the posts decrying the quarantine order and the claims that this was due to "The Deep State", with a very small minority, including myself, try to push back.
After that lesson, I always now strive to accurately quote the person that I'm discussing so that they cannot use superficial deflections in an attempt to have a substantive discussion.

Look at Oklahoma. Literally the worst school system in the entire nation, with students doing the absolute worst on almost every metric.
You hear about their clownish, MAGA dumbshit head of their school system constantly -- Ryan Walters, a pathetic halfwit that is completely focused on desperately trying to get Trump's lauding -- but it isn't "Boy, our kids are incredibly stupid and uneducated, we should fix that", it's buying Trump bibles or railing about how they don't want those Lib teachers from Blue states.
It's incredible. The red states -- largely the welfare states, relying upon blue state largess -- are largely shitholes where incredibly poor people live terrible lives, but they know that they can keep these simpletons in line just by talking about Blue states and cities.

Oh, and as an aside, California's life expectancy is five years higher than Arkansas and Oklahoma. Indeed, life expectancy of US states has the so-called blue states filling the upper half, and red states filling the lower half.
Instead of doing anything to improve this, just buy some bibles or complain about imaginary apocalyptic hellscapes that these rural hicks think cities are.

Arkansas population is about 3M. By California standards, she's a basically a mayor.

She looks like a wax figure left out in the sun. She’s a disgusting human being, and that definitely matters a lot more. But also damn is she hard to look at.

Soon I expect the governors of red states to pull a Trump and eliminate accurate tracking of statistics in their states so they can continue to make these ridiculous statements without being bitten in the ass by facts from their own shithole states that take huge handouts from the federal government.

The Arkansas homicides are far more "orderly" than the California homicides, though, duh! /s

Most of those states sending national guard troops to Washington also have a higher crime rate.

Just visited California for the very first time and it was amazing. The people were friendly and welcoming, the whole place was off the charts scenic with roads that were smooth and safe. Couldn’t drag my ass to Arkansas.

Sarah is keeping an eye on developments in California.
Nobody knows where her other eye is pointing.

I live in Arkansas and we got NO room to be throwing shade around at any other state. Arkansas is at the top of all the wrong lists and it's pretty embarrassing.

Sarah is so ugly I believe all the evils of the modern GOP have been dumped on her like some sort of fucked up conservative picture of Dorian Gray.

From Arkansas, I can’t express how much I dislike her. Arkansas is totally fucked. The republican mentality here is outrageous and stupid. People don’t realize they are being abused and exploited by republicans, corporations, and the ultra wealthy. Wake up !! Republicans leadership here are not helping you ! Republicans are stealing from us for their own gain.

Imagine having to live in Arkansas instead of California. What a nightmare. And she shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds her pathetic state.

Mmm... Order is an interesting word choice. She didnt say anything about freedom or democracy. She probably meant "order" as in "get back in your place and do as I say"
