So conservatives hate drug companies now. They see them as "Gov. monopolies"

I saw them calling them "Gov. monopolies" in the comment section of a YouTube video about vaccines and found this kind of a fascinating take for conservatives. So I just pretended to be a conservative in a youtube comment section and blamed these Gov. monopolies on Citizens United and was stunned how many anti-vaxxers agreed and wanted Citizens United ended. LOL Maybe we need to fight smarter against these people?

a bunch of people who don't know what Citizens United is. They gave it such a friendly sounding name they probably think it's a Democratic idea.
