    It isn’t even “Ate my face” so much as folks who were sold a bill of goods by conservative propagandists

    • Family Values!
    • Christian schools!
    • No crime!
    • Patriotic Unity!
    • Entrepreneurship and an Honest Work Ethic!

    only to get there and discover

    • Spousal Abuse! Child Abuse! Rape! Intense Misogyny!
    • What kind of nerd needs an education? Get a job you stupid kids!
    • Lawlessness!
    • Deep misanthropy wrapped in the American Flag!
    • Scams! Price gouging! Poverty!

    Turns out a liberal is just a conservative who has been mugged by reality.
