Except that there is no such thing as “self-reliance.”

Everything was made by someone else. Even if you live off the grid in the woods of Montana, someone else made the axe that you use to chop down firewood. Someone else made the clothes that you wear. Someone else mined the ore that went into the cast-iron pan that…

Except conservative voters are the biggest freeloaders.  They have a belief brown people are taking up the lions share of social programs so they want to do away with them.  But exempt themselves, red states seek all sorts of exemption from the laws they pass.

Every single Trump supporter thinks they’ve achieved all their success on their own, with nobody’s help. It’s part of the psychosis, and it’s rooted in low self-image. The most arrogant people are the ones with the most fragile self-confidence. 

Ok except “rugged individualism” explains the “success” of a very tiny minority of the wealthy. There is nothing wrong with self-reliance but most people who think they are really are not.

Yeah, that’s the trap right there: it’s not so much that the rich and well-off don’t work hard. They frequently do, especially among the Top 2-10% who form the core of our finance class, elite corporate attorneys, doctors and the like. Anyone who makes partner at an elite corporate firm has essentially sold off the…

You mean like the deficit exploding trillion dollar giveaway to the rich that was the Republican tax bill?

I don’t know, you really think that many young voters are enthused about tax cuts and amped up military spending?

Good troll, I bet you feel pretty great right now :)

Rugged individualism is hot garbage invented by rich, straight, white men to provide an origin myth for their power and success so that they don’t have to be faced with the truth that they arrived where they are by standing on the necks of people of color and women.

He could be economically anxious. Or part of America’s forgotten middle class. Maybe he’s a victim of the opiod crisis. Or involuntarily celibate. But really I’m sure he was polite to his neighbors and a fan of country music.

Your trolling is mediocre, like your racist president and all your white supremacist heroes.

“We don’t know if this was racist”

Everything in America is racially motivated. Everything in American history is racially motivated. If the races were reversed, the killer wouldn’t have been arrested “without incident”. Faux News and the rest of the mainstream White supremacist media would have been blaring this story 24/7 and White people’s president…

For a long time I’ve been saying we can expect to go to war about the time the Mueller report comes out.

So many suspected she’d paid her brother’s bail. It’s not a good look to align yourself with multiple child rapists. 

Honestly, I’m disappointed he was only pistol-whipped and someone didn’t do us all a favour and just ended the fucker.

Grown ass people following kids around who got shot or witnessed the shooting when they were just trying to go to school. Yep, this sounds like America.

This is another case of penis fights. Men finding ways to whine about them not being the biggest. In Utah lots of white men are so sad because they want to be in charge of the airforce base or the church or the polygamists or the desert or the deer or the sun or the water or the mined or the farmers or the moab…

I’m all for more gun control, and I also happen to enjoy going to the shooting range! And I don’t recall anyone texting me “hey poop face stop shootin’ them guns at the range, you’re ugly!”

Yeah, people said the same thing about Baby Boomers 50 years ago.
