Being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity

Man, these people always out here saying the quiet part out loud these days.

"If you little fuckers would just CONFORM to how we want you to be, this country would be filled with UNITY."

Yeah, because the only "unity" they want is forcing their conformity on everyone else.

They’ll say this and then various right wing personalities will say shit like ‘the left wants to make everyone the same so everyone is equal’ it’s infuriating

Unity already went the enshittification route

Ironic, but unsurprising. They're everything they accuse the left of. The P in GOP stands for projection after all.

I'm increasingly convinced they think Gilead is portrayed as a reasonable goal.

The crazy thing is that people still think they're being quiet at all

Unity - the name of a parasitic hive mind that spews vomit down peoples throats to spread itself throughout entire species in the show Rick and Morty.
