    You’re on the money. I push back every time I see it. It’s always the same thing. Downvotes without response when they’re presented with facts, just like the comment you replied to.

      Yeah and I totally get where they’re coming from. I still understand it’s a bad thing but I do understand it. It’s easy to see all the problems and just want to burn it all down. Thinking that they could do better rebuilding from the ground up. It’s the same mistaken confidence and bravado that makes people anti-vaccination or anti-science. And they will go ape shit on you if you point that out.

      Life just seems easier when you have a clear cut boogyman or enemy. It allows you to justify all sorts of bad behavior. As much as we ridicule and laugh at conservatives because of it. Everyone can fall prey to it.
