The best things in our country are Socialist - public schools, parks, playgrounds, libraries, museums, roads, bridges, etc.

Getting rid of any Socialist influences means a society where the ONLY priority is making money for some rich guy. Want to have a picnic at the park? Go make money. Want your kid to go to school? They have to make money. You can't afford it anyway.

The only people who can enjoy leisure time are rich people, because leisure is expensive, and only rich people can afford it.

But you're trying to explain this to people who believe the best things in our country are strip clubs, Disneyland amusement parks, Caribbean Cruises, luxury SUVs, and gold toilets.

Sure but where do they drive those SUVs? How do they get to strip clubs and Disney land?

Yes, they all have an airport in their backyard that leaves from their house and lands within Disneyland, removing any need to drive, sorry I forgot that.

Do you think they're capable of joining those dots?

They clap with their fingers spread.

Valid. I just saw that Trump had said that he has no use for Libraries and Museums. Of course not, he's a Sociopath, he doesn't have even the slightest understanding of art or beauty of any kind.

Not to mention that he can't read
