I like joe very much but, like too many conservatives who didn't tweak in time to what the Right has become, he's now in too deep to break it off. He has always seemed to be like my old co-workers -- a good guy who makes honorable decisions in private life but who in public life for biographical reasons was wedded to a political ideology that has metastasized in the last 40 years into a lethal cancer. He can't face that so he retreats into the Echo Chamber, and there he picks up the gross rhetorical stank of Incels and Qverts, and because everybody else there is bathing in it it becomes like air.
Then he comes into reality and breathes it out and everyone recoils.
joe is one of the ones I'd like to deprogram. Others here have really found their true home in Dump, and they can rot, but joe seems like a good man who got fucked by chance and now has to ride it out or face the magnitude of how he has been duped.
Every 3 months, you seem to find some conservative on this board who you truly feel to be a good person. Everyone then tells you they're actually batshit crazy and an asshole, you stick to your "they're just duped, they're really good people." Then, shortly after you realize they're not actually duped, but full-on racists and suddenly you act all surprised and let down.
Here's a short tip - they're choosing to be hateful assholes with no regard for human life outside of fellow Christian white men.
