Helping people is good to conservatives too... so long as you mean one guy helping an old lady cross the street. Once you apply that idea to anything more than one individual's actions within the confines of the community in which they live then conservatives start opposing the idea. I've never heard a logical explanation as to why that is.

Because somehow enough people were convinced anything that wasn't democracy was communism but also that capitalist fascism is actually democracy

You can't just give everyone a social safety net, then black people and gays would benefit and we can't be having that in our christian values nation. Its better if we all suffer instead to avoid helping the wrong people.

yet somehow helping everyone has always been a bad thing to do

Except when you're at church pretending to listen to what the preacher is saying about the gospels

All they know is that they lived through the Red Scare

Are living in the Red Scare. It never ended, even though the Cold War did. They're still preaching the same anti-USSR propaganda to the kids today that they were in the 60s. You need look no further than the Republicans calling Obama a communist because he took a course on Communism in college. You know, the one that every college student was required to take during the Cold War and that every Republican politician also took.

Who's gonna lead it? You?

All these armchair revolutionaries.

That's true now, but wasn't always true, and the baby boomers voting differently would have prevented it
