    On the Professional Left Podcast, I’ve heard driftglass talk about conservatives and he compares them to USSR-era capital-C Communists - basically, Republicanism/conservatism can never fail. It’s because we didn’t do it HARD enough. Republicanism/conservatism can never fail people; it’s people that fail Republicanism/conservatism.

    It’s a cult. A fucking cult.

      Totalitarians all resort to the same shit. “You just didn’t believe hard enough! It’s all your fault!”
