    Some people’s minds just seem to reject the idea that you don’t have to lick any boots at all. They’ve come all the way from the western boots and at the far end of their journey just went “ooh, new boots!” and just got down on their hands and knees and got to work.

    If history has taught us anything, it’s that fascists sure have some shiny shoes.

          That’s always the issue though, you shouldn’t expect any politician to always have the right solutions, and why cabinets are needed. That’s also kinda why small government is an inadequate recipe for the complexity of human life.

          It’s definitely a lie that you need conservatives in your political offices though

            100% they don’t have the monopoly on brain power or good ideas… It’s absolutely about who you surround yourself with which is partially why I don’t care about Biden or his age, I know he isn’t like Trump where Trump is just going to surround himself with “yes men.”

      Have you considered that they have a comprehensive worldview that leads them to different conclusions than yours does? No, they just must be big dummies because they haven’t figured out this one super simple universal truth!

        If that comprehensive worldview leads people to defending russian imperialism, they really seem to be big dummies or just inhumane scum. It’s actually pretty simple.
