Hang on, so they don’t view their state government as a government but the federal government is the government? What is it with Americans oblivious to the fact that their state government is a government?

Lots and lots of propaganda.

Is it hyperbole to say Fox News and the like are destroying the US? The more I hear from their viewers the more this seems the case

I value my mental health too much to engage with that subreddit but I get your point

Bit reductionist and more libertarian. For most, social programs are fine as long as their use is limited to themselves and those that pass their purity tests.

Granted, the only thing conservatives value is the power to make those they see as the outgroup suffer. That's conservative values in a nutshell.

So instead of trying to help people by providing basic needs, let's have the government oppressed the poor while sustaining white supremacy! That's so much better!

[u/canttoast → u/[deleted]]

So by using the government you can restrain the government? Do you see the contradiction here?

I think your confusing underprivileged with oppression

I had no idea they were mutually exclusive. Thank you your words of wisdom here

Why should the government be responsible for governing people wahhhhhh

That's how you sound like

[u/canttoast → u/[deleted]]

Nah, this just means you have poor thinking comprehension :)

Just because there is a government doesn't mean people should be able to use majority to violate people's rights

Oh no, how dare the government violate people's rights by helping them! How dare they!

[u/canttoast → u/[deleted]]

Oh so just letting people suffer and do nothing is the other alternative? F*** off with that. It's neither one or the other, it can both. The world isn't black and white. If you think use a little critical thinking, you would realize that.

What rights? Who are you hurting? You're acting as if we are sacrificing one set of people for another. That's not the case.
