"We call it the 'hate America' rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see the Marxists on full display, the people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic." ~ Speaker Mike Johnson, on today's "No Kings" events
The quotation as it appears in the meme in #1,727 may (or may not) be accurate.
The attribute, "Conservatives" is conspicuously, disparagingly not.
The root word of "conservatives" is "conserve".
Political conservatism has existed in the U.S. for centuries.
Since WWII political conservatism has mean promoting smaller, less intrusive, less authoritarian government.
The quotation in #1,727 is at best a mis-attribute, or worse a libelous lie.
For decades Republicans have been running this scam, parading their agenda as conservatism, to lend unearned unwarranted credibility and prestige to it.
Are they even fooling themselves?

"The Democrat Party's main constituency are [sic] made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." ~ WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
Reporter, asking about Trump's upcoming meeting with Putin: "Who picked Budapest?" ~ WH Communications Director Steven Cheung: "Your mom."
Reporter, asking about Trump's upcoming meeting with Putin: "Who picked Budapest?" ~ WH Communications Director Steven Cheung: "Your mom."
Can we read between the lines here? The literal meaning of these words as displayed here is absurd.
But if this opinion was expressed on the record, it suggests such speech is accepted off the record, in Trump's inner circle.
So?
It indicates more of a problem than merely WH Press Secretary on bad hair day. It's an indication the Trump administration has deliberately selected this flavor of Kool-aid.

"Somebody [said],'You're the third-best president in the United States.'...'Who were the first two?' 'George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.' And I got extremely angry at this man...It's going to be very tough to beat Washington and Lincoln but we're going to give it a try, right? Hey, they didn't put out eight wars, nine coming. Alright? We put out eight wars and the ninth is coming, believe it or not." ~ Trump
Reality: Historians consistently rank Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt as the top three presidents, often based on leadership during crises, administrative skills, and vision. Conversely, Donald Trump (45), James Buchanan, and Andrew Johnson are generally ranked as the bottom three. However 47 appears to be outdoing his earlier performance as 45 and is likely to move even lower in the ratings.
