re: #96 engineer dog

they’ve been convinced that A means they will have to personally pay for the hypothetical laziness and irresponsibility of some hypothetical undeserving person

the demonization of victims is the gasoline for a large part of this kind of politics

And of course, when they need that assistance it is different. It is always different. It’s true for red states who hate that gov’t money while fighting for it. It’s true on the small scale. I recall so many wingnuts here decrying gov’t health benefits, but then claiming they had earned the ones they received.

It’s true in the abortion fight too. Ask most OB gyns who perform abortions, and they will tell you of the woman on the protest line, who saw them secretly, but her case was different.
