    I’m a Conservative. My Disabled Son Needs Medicaid to Live.

    Then stop being a conservative. Who votes against their own self interest so hard? Who is enough of a cunt to accept social welfare while also taking a view that opposes it?

      Stupid people are normally conservative, not all consertives are stupid of course, some are grifters :)

      "I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. - John Stuart Mill

      How is she stupid, see 3

      These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

      1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

      2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

      3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

      4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

      5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
