The number of Trumpers I know who have either had kids on WIC or relied on SSDI / Medicaid is all of them. 🙄

As did Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family!

Of course she did. Because at the end of the day, all conservatives are dripping with hypocrisy.

Do as I say and not as I do. That’s been the republican mantra for a long time now. These ideas of independence and self reliance were always for the plebs and not for the elite. Handouts and bailouts for musk and his kind but the rest of us are on our own.

I live in Texas. I doubt my senators ( Cruz and Cornyn - the C team) even know who Ayn Rand is.

We HATE posting a link to this site but:

pardosa.bsky.social•6 days ago

That was in 2013. Since then, in becoming a Trump sycophant and enabler, Cruz has basically rejected anything Ayn Rand stood for. He can no longer be considered as either a supporter or an example of her philosophy.

Don’t blame Ayn Rand for what Ted Cruz is today.

Ayn Rand paved this road. Totalitarianism was always the natural conclusion to her ideas.

pardosa.bsky.social•6 days ago

In your opinion.

ivycohernour.bsky.social•5 days ago

No, in reality. Grow up.

Elon does

Cruz knows. Education: Princeton University (BA), Harvard University (JD)

Is ridiculous that we even have to have these conversations.

ab132.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh, the hypocrisy.

You act like republicans today are even literate lol

There are no libertarians in the middle of a health care crisis.

Libertarians were the good guys in that book. Government workers were the evil ones. Crappy book

Sadly their toxic entitlement won’t let them care or change. How do we win knowing they will do anything to stop fairness, justice and empathy- is what I ask myself

Altgov is good for showing us how is was/is and can be IMO

Everyone’s a libertarian until they get cancer.

My college ex used to say he was our generation’s John Galt. Still waiting for him to create that motor (spoiler: he won’t).

And public housing...which we don't have anymore

Done. I send him a note every day, often inspired by what I read on bluesky. Thanks for today's inspirational quote.

I read she grew old and died smoking cigarettes through her tracheostomy while collecting social security.
