[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think it's both. I, myself, have learned in the past decade or so that there is no such thing as a "sane" conservative party. Conservative values, ideals, policy, etc. are inherently trash, and no amount of air freshener can cover up that stench. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TechyDad@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago They definitely, in the past, were better at hiding their true goals and were more willing to come up with compromises to move forward. Now, though, they act as though their policies are the only ones that can be implemented and if there's a Democratic majority then the majority needs to bow to whatever the conservative minority wants. But, interestingly, if they have the majority, then they have a "mandate" to do whatever they want without listening to the Democratic minority. Nice double standard, huh? permalink fedilink source parent
