    Especially when the first things they do are start taking apart consumer and environmental protections, disband social safety nets, increase taxes (tariffs) on imported goods, attack FEMA, and stop farm subsidies, all of which hurt the working class.

    Not only do people still believe the ridiculous lie, they believe it despite the mountain of evidence they don’t give a fuck about you.

      You hate the Republican party so much you support government waste over accountability for our tax dollars. That’s completely insane.

        I don’t hate the republican party. But the current party isn’t the republican party. I disagreed with the republican party, which is different. The current iteration has people in charge who have literally no understanding or don’t actually care how the government works and what is needed. They aren’t reducing “waste”, they are just using that as an excuse to try and get rid of anything they don’t like or don’t agree with. The sooner you start to understand that the better. Because you don’t have enough understanding of what’s actually going on to have a legitimate discussion about it. It’s like someone who doesn’t understand algebra trying to have a discussion about calculus.

        Any system large enough is going to have waste and fraud. That doesn’t mean the system shouldn’t exist, and it certainly doesn’t mean that the system shouldn’t be handed over to the largest wasters and fraudsters on the planet.

          Are you talking about the ones that are actually reporting the waste and fraud, lmao.

          I do agree that there is a huge opportunity for waste and fraud in a large system, that’s why most have third party auditing.

        You hate people who want to be genuinely free to the point that you support stripping freedoms from others.

        I hate freedom-haters like you. If you don’t like it, get out.
