GOP represents the new nanny state.

GOP represents the new nanny state. They want to tell us what we can and can’t do. They only oppose government regulation if it protects the environment or people’s rights. They are fine with regulating the medical industry and the clean energy sector. They’re fine with government telling schools and teachers what they can teach. They’re fine with government denying people easy access to the ballot.

Yet, somehow, it’s Democrats who are the party of “elitism.”
