    These are people who don’t want rights, they want privileges. They don’t want equality, they want hierarchy. They can’t say “gimme gimme”, they say “take America back”.

    From who? Americans. They want to take what you have. Now that Republicans control the Federal Government they will start to take from each other.

    This literally happened during the first Trump administration. Does no Trump supporter remember how they all fought for attention and sucked so badly?

        Two legs good, four legs bad.

        Edit: actually think I got that backwards.

        Four legs good, two legs bad. And if I remember correctly, there was an amendment for ducks/chickens/etc to be good. Haven’t read that book in like 35 years.

      I remember the hilarious part where they all campaigned for years on “repealing Obamacare”. Then they had House and Senate majorities + the Presidency, and guess what didn’t get repealed?

      It was like that silly video where a dog is barking viciously at another dog, looks super serious and mean, and then the barrier between them is removed and they both act real cool immediately. Then, barrier back in, vicious barking again…

        For a while, there were a surprising amount of people who wanted to repeal Obamacare, but keep the Affordable Care Act.

        Letting it be called Obamacare was probably a misstep for his administration. It’d likely be less disliked if it wasn’t tied to his name, and they went with something like “Americare: Because America Cares for you”.

          Republicans are the ones that nicknamed it that, to try to make their supporters hate it as much as a Black man, even if it hurts them.

        2016 - It will be so easy, it’s the worst law in history. We’re going to repeal and replace it in the first week.

        2024 - I have concepts of a plan.

        How fucking dumb is half the country… At least that fucking dumb.
