No offence to the author of the meme, but your “experience” has nothing to do with the issue at hand. The subject matter here is true by definition.
Conservatives want small government, low taxes, and the dominance of the white race, because all this enables them to retain as much of their wealth as possible. Since they have no interest in anyone or anything else, this really says nothing more about the right and left than one could find in a dictionary.
I’m reminded of what the late multibillionaire Charles Koch said in an interview when asked about taxation and what he thought was fair. His reply: “I get to keep my money.”
Of course. What a thoughtful and useful response. You benefit from your country’s infrastructure, law enforcement and justice system, disease control, military defense apparatus, air traffic control, and 40+ other governmental systems that all increase your level of health, safety, and convenience, but “you get to keep your money?”
You apparently have failed to notice that you live in a society, one that requires you to think beyond your own greed and selfishness.
I would be shocked to learn that more than a tiny fraction of 1% of Americans voters consider themselves Marxists. The Republicans are hoping that propaganda like this will be effective, but that’s hard to imagine.
The typical progressive in the U.S. hopes to see this country refashion itself in the manner of the social democracies that are sprinkled all around the globe.
Glenn Close is what Donald Trump would call a “woke celebrity.” Yet what he’s deliberately ignoring is that he has virtually zero support from the entertainment industry.
Sure, you can find an occasional Clint Eastwood or James Woods. But for every one of them, you’ll find perhaps a dozen intelligent and kind people like Close who deeply resents Trump’s attempts to steal democracy from the American people and the rest of the civilized world.
I’m no expert on political demographics, but is strikes me that someone like, say Jodie Foster, who could read at age three and graduated from Yale magna cum laude, probably sees life differently from the MAGA base of carrot farmers, truck drivers, and appliance repairmen.
Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.
