    Don’t forget helping the poor bad. I’m pretty sure they hate the poor more than any other category. They don’t help the poor, just like american jesus intended.

      conservatives help the poor by personal, direct giving. there’s lots of data on charitable giving broken down by party affiliation.

        Which usually includes implied “follow my religious beliefs to be eligible.” A big difference between personal giving and allowing a social safety net is the decision to limit who gets your money. Which I do get; I want my team dollars going to stuff that helps everyone, like welfare, education, transportation, etc, not to military industrial complex or subsidies for already massive and union busting billionaires.

        Still, on the conservative side it tends to aim more towards extremely limited targets, usually filtered through a lens of bigotry.

          there’s a pretty big difference between what you are saying, “i don’t like the way they help”, and what the person i responded to was saying, “they don’t help and hate the poor”.
