Why would you use the planeteers for this when the show already has a slot/format for Republicans.

Captain Pollution:

This would've been the best image to use! Never sully Captain Planet or the Planeteers, as they were a cheesy source of goodness in the world.

Hatred of law enforcement and judicial system?

Why make them sound good?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Alt right have a love/hate relationship with LE right now

On the one hand, they are the instrument of fascism.

On the other hand, they see it as unfairly being abused against their Dear Leader. Thus, the only fair thing to do is to use it unfairly against their enemies.

Could be 'dominance/submission (or anal rape) of Judicial system'?

You forgot 95% of the GOP platform: culture wars.

I mean tbf Madisonian democracy is literally defined as an Oligarchy of Household Head Landowners.

Nevermind something like the black vote or women's vote, Andrew Jackson abolishing property requirements destroyed "Madisonian Democracy"

"Hatred of law enforcement"?

They are incredibly for "law and order".

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're for law and order for everybody else:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

I had to laugh when a righty was trying to argue with studies that the left is less tolerant to the out-group. I might have caused him to have a brain aneurysm when I said, "well no shit, given the diversity of the left's in-group, the only population remaining in the out-group are ignorant assholes."

Paradox of Tolerance at its finest.

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 1 points 3 weeks ago

I really like the "tolerance is not a moral precept, it's a peace treaty" reading of tolerance:

Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn’t directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.

Pretending that hatred of pig is somehow a bad thing is peak liberalism.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

When they labeled themselves "The party of Law and Order," it's quite funny.
