If only they had voted for the candidates who wanted a strong social safety net, rather than the ones that wanted to fuck everyone who isn’t part of the 0.1%, maybe they wouldn’t have to worry now…
Helping people is good to conservatives too… so long as you mean one guy helping an old lady cross the street. Once you apply that idea to anything more than one individual’s actions within the confines of the community in which they live then conservatives start opposing the idea. I’ve never heard a logical explanation as to why that is.
They reserve the right of the individual to be an egoistic, uncaring asshole.
After reading your comment again: you meant how they applaud the individual act but can’t explain why they don’t want it to be a applied to the whole community? In that case I agree, no logical explanation.
You can’t just give everyone a social safety net, then black people and gays would benefit and we can’t be having that in our christian values nation. Its better if we all suffer instead to avoid helping the wrong people.
That sounds like socialism, which is the same as communism, since they don’t understand that either. All they know is that they lived through the Red Scare, and grew up thinking evil Soviet Communists were going to nuke the world…
All they know is that they lived through the Red Scare
Are living in the Red Scare. It never ended, even though the Cold War did. They’re still preaching the same anti-USSR propaganda to the kids today that they were in the 60s. You need look no further than the Republicans calling Obama a communist because he took a course on Communism in college. You know, the one that every college student was required to take during the Cold War and that every Republican politician also took.

And the idea of a safety net has been around for a long time, in various forms, yet somehow helping everyone has always been a bad thing to do.

I mean, isn’t the explanation pretty simple:

Because somehow enough people were convinced anything that wasn’t democracy was communism but also that capitalist fascism is actually democracy

This should be carved into America’s tombstone.
Except when you’re at church pretending to listen to what the preacher is saying about the gospels
bernie was who we needed - instead we got trump ala hillary

Thinking voting could save a country like America is so out of touch it’s cringe. America needs revolution.
Who’s gonna lead it? You?
All these armchair revolutionaries.
The same people who are going to “vote”, could.
