    Republicans are awful people. Not every Democrat or leftist is a good person - just look at Lemmygrad and Hexbear, or turds like Anthony Weiner. But every Republican has chosen to support a party which revolves around anger and bullying those who are vulnerable.

    American conservatism is distilled cruelty.

      As a Canadian about to be homeless due to housing costs, I’ll take it

          Nah it’s Canada. Regular working people are ending up on the street in droves here due to housing and grocery prices.

          Our government cares more about easy talking points like the dude I’m debating with than actual human needs. But hey at least we can be openly gay while we freeze to death on the street lol

        Well, definitely don’t come to Florida, then. We’re having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.

        I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it’s just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.

          Yeah I would avoid Florida just due to the weather. Much more comfortable freezing to death than of heat.

        Hear you.

        I’m in the U.S.

        I finally bought a house in a horrible county about 10 years ago. I’m 62. I’ll end up living under a freeway overpass.

    I want to imagine Republicans actually care about driving out good teachers. But getting rid of education is probably just a win for them.

      We’re gonna have to see if they can hit a moving target at 20 yards before Republicans can determine if they’re a good teacher.

    Haven’t you heard? Educating children is leftist commie bullshit. They don’t need math or science or logic just like their parents didn’t have. Just keep them at home and thump the Bible at them every now and then, they’ll turn out fine.

    Every time someone like this flees, conservatives celebrate. One less vote against them and one step closer to their dream.

      Yep. A country so shitty that 35 states are unlivable. But that still gets them 70 senators and enough Governors to change the Constitution
