(601 posts)MOST of those things in the "I'm OK with" list, MAGAt's and (long before) the GOP have been trying to systematically break down, even HAVE broken down.....
Read the fucking pic:
- food stamps
- DOJ
- FEMA

(601 posts)It's ALL socialism to them and they are systematically taking it all way (and here's what might be getting lost): it ALL needs to go away. They are not playing around.
I'm afraid that a Sanders candidacy will bring out the nutsos that feel they are winning the war and will not be happy until everything on that list is all gone.
Now, I hope that my alarmism is unwarranted, but I KNOW people who want it all gone - and they think they're winning....

(6,254 posts)government does for them on a daily basis they shut up. Start talking about snow removal on roads, trash pick up, public schools, fire, water, sewer and police protection to name a few and at least the absurdity of their beliefs are obvious. Only the most wacko right-wing nuts can argue that these services are bad. Then i tell them to go live in Somalia where there is little government services, regulations and laws and they can live as free as they want.

I'm not agreeing with her, but this IS how she thinks, especially just to spite the "Democraps," as she calls us.

(601 posts)The GOP/MAGAt cult is NOT "OK" with almost anything on that first list (with the exception of some of the third column) and is working mighty hard to "free" the American people from the rest! They consider basics like the FDA, NASA, Elections/Voting, and the Census to be political tools of the left that need to be defunded/eradicated....
Please consider deleting this thread or reposting under a different title so that we understand who the actual enemy is.

(1,915 posts)The Hypocrites who have no issue with socialist programs in general But for some reason have been taught to violently oppose a couple extra programs that would benefit them as well and instead they scream bloody murder that all socialism is evil.
They are the enemy within that must be defeated
