I get real personal when I debate conservatives in person, with good reason.
I’ve never had children out of wedlock
I’ve been with my wife over 20 years
I’ve never divorced
I have held a job since I was 16 meaning I’ve never been one week in my adult life where I wasn’t working for a paycheck (32 years).
I own a home
I fully fund my retirement
I self paid through college (also was a paid intern)
I was an altar boy (I know, I know)
I’ve never been arrested
So poor the day I started high school I was living in a car with my sibs and mother

(I’m trying not to brag because to me it’s been just the way I live, good luck and bad)

None of the “conservatives” I have ever had the displeasure to know or meet can meet these incredibly high standard and when confronted with their own personal weaknesses, they fold like a cheap tent.

“Yeah I don’t know how you can call yourself conservative when you don’t pay your child support and call the mother(s)of your child(ren) a ****” or whatever.
I may be a smug asshole. I don’t care. Consider the target, then destroy it.
