    When being a decent human being comes in the way of voting Republican.

      Always has. These people just had their eyes opened because the hateful Republican rhetoric is affecting people in their orbit for a change.

      The most infuriating part is that these morons are like “I don’t care about that shit, I don’t want my taxes to go up!”

      But Republican policies have ALWAYS shifted the tax burden on the regular folks.

      A classic example is, they’ll lover your house taxes by 200$! Yaay!

      But now, your city can’t repair the roads, so the potholes fuck up your car and you have to get it repaired for 500$!

      Another good one recently was, your house taxes are going down 100$! Yaay!

      But now, after a thunderstorm that caused a bunch of huge branches to fall down everywhere, the city has no money to collect them, so you’ll have to pay 500$ to dispose of them.

      I could go on for hours with examples. Not a single Republican tax cut has ever lead to you, the average American keeping more of your money. It just looks like it if you don’t count past the number 5.
