... about gutting social security, Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, welfare, etc. - along with under-funding education and scientific research. It's not like the GOP came up with this shit yesterday.

People who allegedly "care about the citizenry" obviously didn't care about those who would suffer, or even die, without those safety nets.

I'm tired of my country being held hostage by people who are too stupid to change the channel, or claim ignorance of what 's going on in their own country because Kim Kardashian didn't mention it.

We live in the age of the internet, where facts are readily available with the click of a mouse. Ignorance is no excuse.
