2. The GOP has very carefully 'educated' its base to absolutely HATE the government.

This is because the corporate masters don't want to have their precious capitalist system blamed by the white working class for its miseries. This is a decades-long bait and switch that began with the 'tax and spend' meme clear back in the 50s and 60s, and then accelerated when Reagan slithered into the White House like the snake he was. It's been exacerbated with homophobia, anti-Muslim, anti-immigration, pro-gun, and racist fear mongering from the hate-talk propaganda organs.

So, this idiot in TN is merely parroting what's been drummed into his head since he was born, basically.

You'll notice he had to take the post down, though. Too much outcry.
