Why Are Republicans So Relentlessly Cruel to the Poor?

"I found much that was alarming about being a citizen during the tenures of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. But, whatever I may have seen as their limitations of character or intellect, neither was anything like as humanly impoverished as Trump is: ignorant of government, of history, of science, of philosophy, of art, incapable of expressing or recognizing subtlety or nuance, destitute of all decency, and wielding a vocabulary of seventy-seven words that is better called Jerkish than English.” Philip Roth

The right wing is willing to, "take the credit" for installing their guy.
 
And my best friends stay out of my bank account.

How great is this? We have moved Billo_Really from being a money grubbing Progressive, happy to have money taken from everyone's bank account and giving to others, to demanding people STAY OUT OF HIS BANK ACCOUNT.

What? Oh riiiigggghhhhttt. Erase that. I just noticed that he said for everyone STAY OUT OF HIS bank account. Missed that, sorry, let me restate. Billo_Really demands HIS bank account remain pristine but everyone else's bank account if free game!

Makes sense to me.

Interesting article and much of it chimes with what we see in the UK.

It has to be coated with a thin veneer of religion to make it acceptable but in essence right wing politics is based on a selfish me me me doctrine. DISCUSS
Republicans in China switched economy to capitalism and instantly eliminated 40% of the entire planets poverty. How is eliminating poverty cruel to the poor?

dear, they went from a command economy to a mixed market economy; just socialism nurturing capitalism, like usual.
 
Empathy requires you to be able to understand and identify with how someone feels. There is simply no space in my head that's batshit crazy and evil enough to understand, let alone identify, with trying to conquer and convert the world by blood and terror. Sorry.
I think its batshit crazy that anyone would think a religion could conquer and covert the rest of the world at the point of a gun. Especially a religion with no army, no navy, no air force, no bases, no nukes, etc. I mean, how could that possibly happen, unless it was "us" who were trying to take over the world, because we have "all" of those things.

1) Who in the hell told you you were qualified to think?
2) What makes you think being a religion automatically precludes the desire to conquer and convert the rest of the world by force? Certainly not human history.
3) What makes you think modern military accoutrement are required to conquer and convert the world? Again, not human history.
4) What is there about radical fundamentalist Muslims and their behavior that makes you think they're subscribing to ANYONE'S definition of logical and sane, let alone yours?
 
Ah, yes. Lest we all forget, leftists constantly equate being told they're dumbfucks with people being blown to little, bloody bits while trying to grocery shop.
We "constantly equate being told" were "dumbfucks with people being blown to little, bloody bits"?

You make less and less sense with every post.

Let me dumb it down for you, Sparkles. You leftists are whining crybaby snowflakes who snivel and kvetch endlessly about how you're "victims", and usually by trying to draw comparisons between yourselves and actual, suffering human beings.

In case you missed it, I was cruelly mocking your attempted guilt trip for "attacking" you.

That clear enough, or do I need to break out the Crayolas and draw you a picture?
 
Those are the advantages hanging around with the homeless.
Is that a question, or a rhetorical statement?

If it was a question, it would have had one of those curly hook-shaped symbols the literate like to call "a question mark".

It was an insult, skid mark. He was insulting you and the quality of any person who would choose to be friends with you.

Makes sense to me.

And coming from you, that means absolutely nothing.
