This is why Trump voters call Democrats far left evil socialists. [View all]

We gave them social security, medicare, medicaid, healthcare (Obamacare), unions, workers rights, minimum wage, 40 hour work week, overtime pay, unemployment insurance. Dam, we are evil.

I wish you could see me in action when I talk to a Trump voter. It is a thing of beauty. They go silent.
