Is *that* really a route you want to go down, Trumpettes?

“Education used to be a privilege,” he (Rep. Paul Mosley) told Hank Stephenson of the Arizona Capitol Times. “People used to believe getting an education was something you had to be privileged to get, that you had to work hard to get. Now we basically force it down everybody’s throats.”

What else is something you "had to be privileged to get"?

* Voting
* Being able to read (How much will they miss that?)
* Access to clean drinking water
* Indoor plumbing and sanitation (Ironic, considering how big they are when it comes to policing bathrooms)
* Not dying from infections that start out as minor (And to think they hate "Obamacare&quot

Trump supporters, if feudalism and these hierarchies of privilege came back today and in full force; I can guarantee to you that you will not be kings, you will not be lords, you will not be dukes or counts, you won't be knights, and you certainly won't be freemen. I would say about 96% of you would be the serfs.
