Only one in ten American voters want a bigger military budget. Congress keeps approving massive spending increases anyway, as it did when it voted for a nearly $1 trillion military budget last week.

    I do not want an aircraft carrier. I do not want dead palestinian kids. I do not care about our tactical interest in the middle-east nor do I feel threatened by fucking countries like motherfucking Venezuela.

    I want healthcare to take care of people I care about who need medicine.

    That’s it, that’s ALL i am asking of my country in return for the massive amount of money I pour into the country from my paychecks.

    And you know what? I guarantee if you said this to about 90% of conservatives who voted for Trump without contention or condemnation of any characters or storylines, they would agree with you. This is why the media empire is trying to pry us apart with social/cultural war.
