this also benefits Putin as it would lead to the dissolution of NATO in the process, but that’s just a side effect.
Definitely not a side-effect. This is the main effect. The dissolution of NATO is his main goal. Besides personal grifting, Trump’s strict allegiance to Putin has been his one consistency since 2016.
They still are. Hypocrisy is no dealbreaker for being a right winger.
Citation very much needed. Especially because it is a load of bs.
Nothing about what you describe has even the slightest thing to do with conservatism though, so I don’t know why you would describe that as being “fiscal conservative”.
When it was no longer profitable.
They seem to know nothing in general.
Don’t buy into their propaganda. Succesful is not the same as being ultrarich. There are many parameters in which you can be succesful.
Hopefully. If most European countries haven’t themselves succumbed to elected Putin-funded fascist regimes before that happens.
Who could have foreseen that a subculture based on spreading anti-scientism and unfounded paranoia, all in good fun of course, would be co-opted by right wing political propaganda for political purposes?

It was always right wing political shit. It just became even shittier. There is nothing glorious to preserve here, except perhaps as a good example of the fascist pipeline in action.
“Tear all government out, except the particular part which benefits me!”
What a pathetic narcissistic moron.
Executive Orders are not Law.
I think you are mistaking reality for some kind of illusory fantasy world where the constitution is actually being taken seriously.
The electoral college doesn’t work like you apparently think it works either. Those votes definitely did matter, don’t go around spreading apathetic fascism apologetics.
That’s not it. The thing is that they refused acknowledging that partisanship would evolve. They preferred to hold on to the illusion that everybody involved in office would always be altruistic and solely work for the greater good, which was laughably naive even then (as many people pointed out to them).
The most bizarre posts are the “Elon Musks polls plummet” kind. That fucker wasn’t even elected.
Nah, they will keep the corpse alive and possibly even more thriving (at least to the shareholders) with bot accounts. It is quite clear that a shitload of AI bots are being tested out in various subs at the moment.
Edit: An example of such an AI bot.
He isn’t realising shit.
They have long since moved past the point where they feel the need to bury anything. They have learnt that they can do absolutely anything without facing any consequences, either legal or political. They will laugh in your face about it.
A more accurate headline would have been: “Serial liar lies”.
