    Republicans Conservatives masturbate to the idea of elderly people others being denied the basic necessities in life because they were unable to earn enough for a retirement due to the uncontrollable greed of the ultra wealthy Conservatives.

    The ultra wealthy wouldn’t make enough money from this to give a shit. This type of petty, ideological driven cruelty is a hallmark of conservatism (see school lunch cuts). Keep in mind, most Democrats trend to the right of center (aka “conservative”) compared to the rest of the developed world.

      If it were true that Democrats are conservative, and conservatives want to deny people basic necessities, then we would expect Democrats to not support things like government healthcare, public transportation, or SNAP (food) benefits.

      Except they do by overwhelming majority.
