What conservatives don’t understand is we know you’re full of shit because you raised us. You idealize about a time that never was and we know it because we watched it destroy you. We were all raised in broken homes because you broke them. We watched the war on drugs destroy our neighborhoods because you were the ones who were xenophobic. We know this is all fantasy because we watched you fail and we don’t want that for ourselves or anyone.

So please. Keep your fetishes in the bed room.

    The only reason the blue collar man in the meme can afford a suburban home, a large family and free time on one income is because of very large taxes on the rich and very high rates of unionization. If people have these and choose to be trad-idiots, fine, so long as other people can also have these things and be free to choose to not be trad-idiots.

      Ah yes: jealousy. The driving force of all leftists/socialists/communists.

        Dude, I honestly think you might need remedial language courses if you think that’s even close to what he said. No joke your reading comprehension is concerning. Do you understand? Do I need to dumb it down even more for you? Do you need pictures?

        It ought to be the driving force of every person you meet, at least until the playing field gets leveled a bit. Remember, the periods where the American Dream was achievable were paid for by a 70% corporate tax rate, which got tossed out for “trickle down” Reganomics. And we have indeed trickled down.

        A single person shouldn’t have enough money to buy the government of the richest country on earth, yet here we are.

        Lol, more like “you can’t have so much more than me that I end up being forced to serve you just to survive”.

        If you think that’s “jealousy”, you don’t understand what wealth is.
