"He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”

This is Conservative mentality; that for someone to succeed, someone else needs to suffer.

Their binary thinking is primitive and childish, and their resentment and desire to see people suffer is the only thing that drives Conservatism.

They're bad people. They've always been bad people. Trump's simply empowered them to share their rottenness openly.

Note: the Conservatives in this article live in a hurricane-devastated region and relied on government support before the hurricane hit.

I have always maintained that most conservatives, most white trash, most racist buck-toothed hillbillies are completely comfortable with a social welfare state. Even support it.
I believe you would be actually amazed at how many conservatives on this very forum likely collect disability payments, Medicare, social security, and a host of other publically funded services.

I maintain that Contards do not want "undeserving" people tapping into those benefits. . And generally, that means the "darkies". Because to the conservative mind, the "darkies" cannot be trusted and do not deserve access to publically funded services. That is what resentment against the social welfare state boils down to

Don't take my word for it - there are about 14,643,753,674,374 examples on this forum of rightwingers complaining that blacks only vote Democratic "to get free stuff". There has rarely ever been a clearer expression of racial resentment than that.

America's case of Right Wing Disease has gotten far, far worse since Nixon/Reagan, I'm thinking we lost the patient

I believe almost every Conservative poster on these boards collects some kind of government assistance.

That's why they all pretend to be wealthy, own businesses, and are successful, but never verify those claims.

It's because to be Conservative is to lie. The entire belief system hinges on lies. It always has.
