like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Obamacare, minimum wage, environmental protection, and workplace safety regulations.

They love "Big Government" programs like military-style police tactics to keep folks "in their place", big military budgets to keep foreign governments "in their place", and laissez faire policies to keep workers and consumers "in their place".

If we all just remember to cooperate, be quiet, and stay "in our place", we shouldn't have any problems with the Republican government.
