Well, that’s good. A whole lot of the fucking media has not been much help, that’s for sure.

And I bet that 34 percent are the same knuckle-draggers that think the Big Gubbermint never did them no good anyhow, even if very many of them desperately depend on that very government…the “small government” propaganda is pervasive and it fucking works.

I’m sure almost everyone knows someone in their lives like this - they may even work directly for the government or directly for a major company that relies entirely on government and they will still be deep in denial and vote for Republicans reliably and preach the gospel of “small government” and bitch about people “on the dole”, etc…

I remember asking someone that worked for Raytheon who was going on like this - “don’t you work for the government, in truth?” This almost caused him to short out, he got so angry. Pretty simple question, really. Why so angry? He went on and on - “it’s not government, it’s the private sector!, etc.” for a while, and I let him. Then I just asked him if he really thought Raytheon would survive without any government contracts. Also, why did he need a GOVERNMENT security clearance to do his job? What’s that all about?

I could tell it really hit home. I mean, it’s fair to ask, though. These kind of people are the types that will just start up with this dogma, completely unprompted, and I don’t really know what they expect? People either getting triggered? Or giving a high-five and a “megadittoes!!!” whoop? But then they cannot field the most simple of questions that point out the disconnect…
