    And that’s where we realize that the two party system is hollow and doesn’t actually represent anything other than greed

    If the GOP actually stood for tradition, we would go back to single income households

    If the GOP actually stood for self-determination, anyone could change their gender on legal documents

    If the GOP actually stood for hard work and personal responsibility, taxes would be proportionately higher for the mega rich, and the working class would be getting proper compensation

    If the GOP actually stood for the 2nd amendment, Alex Pretti wouldn’t have been shot to death simply for having a gun on his waist

    If the GOP actually stood for Christianity, there would be homes for the homeless everywhere

    If the GOP actually stood for isolationism, then this country would not be practicing genocidal foreign policy

    And if the GOP actually stood for small government, well there wouldn’t be this whole… craziness

    In another world I might have agreed with conservatism, but not in this one, where the meaning itself is a living contradiction
