It’s weird how all the things fucking up our country have been Republican lead- it’s almost like they don’t have people’s, or the country’s best interests at heart? Crazy coming from such flag waving patriots…
Making sure, that Putins and Xis interests are protected... The Republican party is evidently chilling for Russia and at least by coalignment helping China tremendously too. How these traitors are not rotting in prison cells is beond my understanding. But well at least it is entertaining to watch from afar.
Sure thing bubba
They literally want less government.
You've all seemingly misunderstood my comment. Oh well, downvote away.
Do they?
When Republicans are in power they never actually cut spending.

post your stupid link again so we can not click it again
What kinda stupid shit do you think I'm saying? I'm a fucking progressive, not some bootlicking GQP idiot.
Plus, it's a link to a different user's comment, clarifying my original point.
Edit: and to think, "link for the lazy" has been oft used for at least a decade.
You could've just clarified your original comment in that edit or in any of the subsequent comments instead of a link. You could've saved yourself this anger by being clearer.
Meh. I'm not here to think for others.
The definitely do not. They want the government to be involved in private medical decisions about one's own body. Conservatives love invasive and overbearing governments.
Government just small enough to fit into your bedroom and your doctor's office.

That's why they want politicians to tell us what medical procedures we can get, why they want women to not be able to leave their states, why they want governments to pick and choose what books people can read and even what nicknames you can be called! Because small Government!

That isn't really true, now or ever. It is old, crusty propaganda. It is their excuse for their actions of opposing any and all (useful and fair) government spending, but they really just want to funnel all that same amount of government money, if not more, into the pockets of the people who bribe them. They also obviously don't believe this as far as personal liberties, they want more power with which to control all finances to their own ends.
None of that is "small" it is better described as "ineffective" or how I see it, "not designed for your benefit"
They want to show the government is "failing" so they can gut it and replace it with what they want. Profit and control. They know not enough people will pay attention to notice it's republicans actively causing the failures.
That's what they write on the can but not what they put in it.
No worries. This will not go on your permanent record.
Well, I thought it was a good joke.
They want less of the "wrong" government...
