At some point California needs to say ‘no taxation without benefits from taxation’ or something more catchy and stop paying federal taxes entirely.
Many people are already complaining about never going to be able to draw from social security and wishing they could stop paying entirely into that system he’s fucking up, too.
Let’s just go ahead and see.
California needs to secede and start up the NCR.
Proportional representation would go a long way toward fixing many of this country's issues.

Conservatives don't care about addressing or preventing crime. Because they fundamentally believe that bad things can't happen to good people, ergo if anything bad happens to you then you deserve it, they're ultimately a-okay with just having cops execute suspects on the spot.
Exactly, if you prevent crime in the first place, there's no criminals to be tough on.
Conservatives don't want to actually prevent crime, they just want to be able to loudly and visibly abuse and imprison an out-group.
The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. Don't waste your time and breath.
