shame and pride are not operative factors in politics.
winning and losing are.
If the only thing that ‘matters’ is ‘winning’ then why not do a Stalin thing and kill a few million people who dare to disagree with you? Or put ‘judges’ in courts who decided to ‘legislate’ from the bench? Like liberals do.
It’s not that conservatives don’t know how to be monsters and liars and cheats like liberals are - it’s that we’d rather live in a country worth living in.
Maybe CNN and liberals should move to corrupt hellholes - the world’s full of them... why destroy what we have here?
