    Republicans & Conservatives would constantly cry, “They’re destroying the _______.”

    The government? They’re just really in love with the government, this is what they’re known for?

    No. The answer to that fill-in-the-blank is, “They’re destroying the COUNTRY.” Government /= country, it’s not even fucking close. This reminds me of when I’m “quoted” but they change the words. 😂 Changing words changes the whole context, usually to make me look worse & their arguments (artificially) look better.



  • Correct. 🙂 Reminds me of when I wanted new tires & I was complaining about how some tires were rated for a criminally short life. I wondered which ones lasted the longest.

    The mechanic then remarked that sure, they can make tires that last a hell of a long time & never puncture. But the ride would be so terrible because the tires would be tough, stiff, would work your suspension harder, and it would cost a fortune to boot. It’s not worth it. There are multiple material, usage considerations when making a product. Really makes you appreciate the experts in their various fields.
