Back in my day, we had to paint our faces and wear floppy shoes to get our clown noses! Now Fox News is giving them out for free. Goddamn lazy boomers just want their clown noses handed to them!

Sounds like a participation trophy to me. I thought they hated socialism?

Nah, they love socialism for them. If they need government assistance it's ok because they're just temporarily disadvantaged millionaires, whereas all of the poor and non-white people are just lazy and want things handed to them like a bunch of commies!

Socialize losses, privatize profits.

Ik the intention of your comment isn't to imply otherwise but I think it's still important to note that "socialism for them" isn't socialism.

Also these "(right) libertarians" are as libertarian as "anarcho-capitalists" are anarchists and as the "national socialists" where socialist. They're just another case of leftist terminology being stolen and twisted by the right.

Oh, I'm more than aware of their hypocrisy. I was being facetious.
