Man, Republicans sure love shooting themselves in the foot and tripling down on the worst types of policy.

I wish this was the case, but they'll just drum up another culture was issue. My dad is like this with our conservative party. He'll complain about parks being rezoned for clear cutting, about insurance rates being uncapped, about electricity prices going up, but when it comes time to vote he votes for the party responsible for all this because "Trudeau is a socialist".

Yeah. It's a literal cult. Its a very bad situation all over the world, the right-wing conservatives of every country are losing their minds right in front of everybody.

I dunno, my conservative neighbors love this type of shit. They're convinced that everyone who has student loans is a freeloader who went to college to study underwater basket weaving.
