Two kinds of people.
1
I suffered to get where I am, no one should have to go through that, we can do better.
2
I suffered to get where I am, everyone should suffer like I did.
The conservative mindset is #2, “No one should have it better than me!”
No, the Conservative mindset is, “I imagine that I suffered to get where I am after a small million dollar loan from Daddy, everyone should suffer like I imagine I did even if they didn’t get free money from Daddy.”
A more simpler description is … “the universe should revolve around me and my personal happiness and freedom” … Therefore … “If anyone disagrees with that, then they are communists and anarchists that want to destroy world order … my world order”
Ok my dumbass doesn’t know what that word means lmao. Thought it meant great excess, luxury, etc. but it’s more all the negative things associated with those.
A process, condition, or period of deterioration or decline, as in morals or art; decay.
Imagine thinking decadence is a bad thing
“are children today too happy and well fed?”

It’s a mentality that always revolves around them
Decadence while ~60% of the us live paycheck to paycheck def is
Yeah, but that’s not the decadence they’re talking about. They mean things like “feeling like yourself” and “having good sex.”

I think the big issue is that the Republican definition for it is closer to: when minorities have it too good by not being murdered often enough.
I read it as “a lack of values and decadence” as in “the lack of decadence is a bad thing”.
