Ever ask yourself why your typical righty loves to OWN libs? [View all]

They are almost always white, moderately educated but not able to access their knowledge as well as we can because their brains are smaller. Usually pretend to be religious and they love guns, not always but usually. I say pretend because you cant be a Christian and a trump supporter, as we all know.



They want to "own" us but why?

For electing a BRILLIANT Black man?

For ensuring rights for everyone?

For cleaning up their air and water?

For giving them a safe workplace, guaranteed by OSHA?

For making sure they have funds to live on if they lose their job? Unemployment compensation?

For having a minimum wage to prevent more poverty?

For pursuing science to allow them to live longer and healthier?

For creating Medicare and Social Security? Without which more than half of them would have to sell their homes when they retire or never retire.

For creating and maintaining excellent relationships with other leaders and nations and peoples?
