If I get a tax cut of $100 a month, the poor get fucked, and the vast majority of wealth goes up to the very rich, I'm okay with it." He doesn't really give a shit about disgusting, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, hate-filled policy because it doesn't affect him. Sure, he'll say, "Yeah, I'm against that stuff." But he doesn't really give a shit unless it affects him or his wallet directly. Until it does, Dems and Republicans are essentially the same--"invested in the status quo." He says this without really understanding or caring that one party is burning every protection for people who aren't him to the ground.
Not giving a fuck about anyone outside your manufactured isolation shell is the ultimate luxury. Save your breath.

I know. But I can’t help it - for my own sanity, if nothing else.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
