Especially when the first things they do are start taking apart consumer and environmental protections, disband social safety nets, increase taxes (tariffs) on imported goods, attack FEMA, and stop farm subsidies, all of which hurt the working class.
Not only do people still believe the ridiculous lie, they believe it despite the mountain of evidence they don't give a fuck about you.
You hate the Republican party so much you support government waste over accountability for our tax dollars. That's completely insane.
Our system ~~has~~/had accountability baked into it. Rather than rely on our separation of powers and independent inspectors general, you chuckle fucks, in your infinite lack of wisdom, decided to hand our government over to a Nazi billionaire with glaring conflicts of interest.
Accountability? Puuuuuuhlease.
Lmao you think what’s happening now is going to increase accountability?
I don't hate the republican party. But the current party isn't the republican party. I disagreed with the republican party, which is different. The current iteration has people in charge who have literally no understanding or don't actually care how the government works and what is needed. They aren't reducing "waste", they are just using that as an excuse to try and get rid of anything they don't like or don't agree with. The sooner you start to understand that the better. Because you don't have enough understanding of what's actually going on to have a legitimate discussion about it. It's like someone who doesn't understand algebra trying to have a discussion about calculus.
You hate people who want to be genuinely free to the point that you support stripping freedoms from others.
I hate freedom-haters like you. If you don't like it, get out.
I don't hate anyone. You are free to be as angry as you like, no one cares.
Your ignorant speech and actions say otherwise. People do care, otherwise you wouldn't be responding, limp jackass.
Are consumer protections government waste?
They "are" for those people who are too stupid to understand that individual consumers don't have the time, expertise, access to inside information on company processes and their own labs so that they don't need to rely on regulators to make sure they're not buying and consuming dangerous shit, and can do it all by themselves as individuals.
The "too stupid to understand regulators are there to do what individuals don't have the time, expertise and power to do as individuals" neatly brings us around exactly to the point the OP was making.
(Mind you, sadly it's not just Trumpettes who fall into the "too stupid to understand the need of regulators" category)
