He also devolved into ignorant pseudo-libertarians along the lines of "keep your dirty government hands off my Medicare".

Or the angry misguided asshole who:

1. complains about taxes.
2. votes republican.
3. complains about the current state of roads and the like.

Or the lazy asshole who doesn't vote, lets the other types of assholes elect their republican asshole, sees the state of the roads and schools, etc, and goes bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL.

What do all of these have in common? Myopia, and the stubborn refusal to do the bare minimum on a consistent basis, once a year, or even once every couple of years. No sir, that would be soiling their purity undies. Better to vote once in a lifetime, twenty fucking years ago, then say "nothing changed".
