Cutting off your own arm to "own the libs". Nice job! Glad to know some people are so proud to vote against their interests. Keep it up!
Also I'm sure this LITERAL EXACT SAME GUY: "what Democrats don't understand is that socialism can't work because everyone at the end of the day is selfish and our country should run based on that assumption" also: "utilitarianism is evil and what the Nazis did if you believe in that you can excuse any terrible action with 'its for the greater good'." (That's a common type of excuse for anti-abortion people)
Oh yes, Daddy Trump, do me harder!
This reminds me of a poll around the time of the Brexit vote. They polled Tory voters (I think) with various Brexit scenarios, eg would you still support Brexit if it made your life worse, made your grandkids' lives worse, etc etc. They all came out for majority would still support it... With one exception. They wouldn't support it if it meant Jeremy Corbyn (leftist leader of the opposition at the time, although he was also a brexiteer) becoming prime minister.
I wish I could find that poll. If only so I can check I'm remembering it correctly.
