Quote: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." - Grover Norquist

Those that they oppose are hindrances to their goals. They don't find that you're suffering if your only job option in life cannot pay your overhead or that if you get sick it seriously means that you may die...unless they know you, then the few that do will try to help you out as decent human beings. Otherwise, die!!! They want to walk all liberals to our graves, take away all safety nets, government programs and the like...drown us in that tub. Divide and conquer each segregated group, one at a time until every last one is destroyed or deported. Their hatred goes very deep. It's their righteous cause.

You may think I'm going too far with what I just said, but I've been in heated arguments with tRump supporters, all white, all racist, dehumanizing of their adversaries, all noninclusive.

Sadly, they don't come to these conclusions freely. They are taught and programmed to think this way, that you are what you are, here to mooch off of them.

Let's face it, the criminal justice system is profitable. Pot can be a boon for state revenue if legalized or big profits for the privatized prison system if criminalized.

"You kids get off my lawn!".
The problem is, some of those kids are conservative republicans.

Expect even more pushback Mr. Trump.
