    Especially when the first things they do are start taking apart consumer and environmental protections, disband social safety nets, increase taxes (tariffs) on imported goods, attack FEMA, and stop farm subsidies, all of which hurt the working class.

    Not only do people still believe the ridiculous lie, they believe it despite the mountain of evidence they don’t give a fuck about you.

      You hate the Republican party so much you support government waste over accountability for our tax dollars. That’s completely insane.

        You hate people who want to be genuinely free to the point that you support stripping freedoms from others.

        I hate freedom-haters like you. If you don’t like it, get out.

          They “are” for those people who are too stupid to understand that individual consumers don’t have the time, expertise, access to inside information on company processes and their own labs so that they don’t need to rely on regulators to make sure they’re not buying and consuming dangerous shit, and can do it all by themselves as individuals.

          The “too stupid to understand regulators are there to do what individuals don’t have the time, expertise and power to do as individuals” neatly brings us around exactly to the point the OP was making.

          (Mind you, sadly it’s not just Trumpettes who fall into the “too stupid to understand the need of regulators” category)
