support things like health care for all.

Oh, wait, they don't, do they? So fuck them. They are getting exactly what they deserve. Except they are not, they are getting things like expanded Medicare and food stamps and all sorts of socialist ills they think are the work of the devil. If I were in charge, I'd make sure they'd get none of that and would get daily briefings about how they don't support such things, so of course they don't get them.

I am so sick of the hypocrisy and the ignorance.
