Saw Disabled Scooter Bound Middle Aged White Guy W/Don't Tread .. Flag. ???????

I was in Oceanside, California recently and spied this middle aged white guy who was disabled unable to walk and was using an electric scooter to get around. AMAZINGLY he was flying a large American flag AND a large "Don't Tread On Me Flag".
Somehow that image is just so inconsistent. Why do you support people who actually believe you should be euthanized if you are not fully function. Could this guy be a Libertarian as well?

Now we need top be honest the GOP does not really support disabled people. And in reality the GOP looks at the disabled as being a bunch of worthless takers.

That GOP motto should have been on his bumper sticker to complete the image of an uninformed voter.

Unfortunately, most like him feel they "paid in and should be able to collect" as if SS is some kind of savings account. He should stop getting checks when he reaches the total amount he paid.

Kind of the same logic as the Teabagger rallies that showed old white people with tea bags hanging off their hats complaining they're taxed enough already "but keep your hands off my Medicare!"

So go ahead and vote for Trump mr. scooter man. You're not a winner. Trump doesn't like winners and if you can't pull yourself up by your bootstraps under a Trump presidency, then you're inconsequential and on your own.

People are so ignorant. So ignorant

Is from Eastern KY. One of the most government dependent regions of the United States. They are delusional. They're against entitlements for everyone, but themselves.
