wrote on last edited by [email protected]As strange as it is to say, conservatives dislike open hypocrisy as much as everyone else. They just usually are lead by the hand to a way of thinking that lets them process the open hypocrisy of their leaders in a way that doesn't feel hypocritical, and most of them completely lack the critical thinking skills to figure it out on their own (because defunding the educational system has been conservative action item #1 for decades and now they can reap the fruits of their labor...).
But the NRA shit with russia then the whole fraud scandal were impossible to spin. Seriously, that was such a bad look. Even the true born-red gun nuts I know lost any respect for the NRA when it all came out.

So weird to me that any of them would. I guess Daddy Trump wasn't vocal enough re: the NRA for them to have their minds made up for them.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Eehng... the fraud was mostly done against other rich conservatives & the NRA members themselves, so there wasn't much of a way to convince people it was all the fault of liberals. Plus you can't let everyone get away with it, so just throw the most inept ones under the bus occasionally and chalk it up as an example of conservative self-regulation.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It wasn't even big news here, so it wouldn't have been hard to miss if you weren't following specifically usa political outlets. We like to hide all the juiciest drama behind the most boring court proceedings, because we suck as a country.
or... something like that.

And when it comes to funded propaganda like the NRA the wealthy and powerful don't need to discredit the organization or go out of their way to do anything other than change their donations to some other propaganda source and let the old one wither away.
