To all the republican, right-wing crazies out there right now, particularly those in Arizona, who claim the mantle of conservatism, consider the above quote, then consider another quote from Goldwater, this godfather of republican conservative politics. Goldwater made this statement in November 1994, and was quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006):

“I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.” John Dean alleged that Goldwater actually suggested that good Christians ought to kick Falwell in the "nuts", but the news media "changed the anatomical reference." According to Dean, "I know because I was there when he said it," in his piece, Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches. 

Here's something I'm sure you find infuriating;

"I'm not into politics. I don't really know, I'm just not a political person."

We know that this IS being political! It means you condone everything - you don't think anything is worth fighting for, you're fine with the status quo as long as it benefits you vaguely. It's the mindset of someone so aggressively individualist, that the suffering of others is simply not a concern - since the system can't be broken, if they're alright. The kind of people to vote for a fascist if it'll mean that their taxes are lower next year. To stand by and watch oppression is insidious. Not even watch - to Celebrate oppression as long as it's against the "savages" and "beasts." Mass mistreatment still exists beyond the gulf surrounding apathetic suburbia.

None of the civilian deaths have been accidental.

This sounds like something from The Handmaid’s Tale, ffs.

Scary Project 2025 and its authoritarian backers have marching orders ready for the next conservative President that gets elected (while probably losing the popular vote again as usual).
