I Wonder If GOPPERS In Flooding Pennsylvania/NY Understand The Importance Of Government.

[Moral Compass]

3. It is actually worse than that...

Many of these fools are actually public employees or members of the military who for some reason don't see that those tax dollars pay their salaries and create the organizations that they serve.

I know a customs agent who is utterly anti-government. Bet she thinks she's a libertarian. The cognitive dissonance makes my head ache.

An acquaintance that I know works for FEMA and is a specialist in radio communications and often travels to what most of us consider the armpits and assholes of the world. He's a right winger who would probably term himself a libertarian. He wouldn't know what actual libertarianism is if it bit him sharply on the ass. He will be able to retire at 55 with a federal pension. He is already getting a small VA payment per month for some small percentage of defined disability. I guarantee you he is incapable of perceiving the disconnect and he reliably votes for whatever Republican runs for whatever office.

These people don't think. A lot of people don't think. And it isn't getting better.

Very few people actually have any understanding of how our system of government is supposed to work and are completely okay with the grotesque abuses of power that Trump and his appointees commit on a daily basis.
