“We don’t want our history removed. If you’re going to remove that statue, then let’s just go all over entire United States to remove every statue we have.”

I don’t need to read his book to know that his point about government being useless for solving our country’s problems is bullshit.

So the Arizona GOP’s top candidates for an actual fucking senate seat are Mrs. Chemtrails and the most racist former sheriff in America? The fuck are they putting in the water down there?

Lots of liberals I know really loved that book (I haven’t read it myself), but I am wary of anyone who touts the “government can’t fix this, only we can fix it” line. It’s like a backwards version of “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” The thing is, I honestly struggle to find a good example anywhere in…
