Let me see if I can explain this clearly, because there are apparently a lot of soft-brained socialist twits out there who can't understand it: 🧵

If you're forced to pay protection money to the Mafia so nothing bad will happen to your business, and something bad happens to your business, you are perfectly within your rights to demand they keep their end of the bargain. That is NOT the same as wanting the Mafia!

Likewise, when your tax money is taken by force, with the understanding that if something bad happens FEMA and other government agencies will be there for you, you are perfectly within your rights to expect and even demand it.

You're especially within your rights to complain when you see the politicians in your area jet-setting around all over the place, having not for a moment been inconvenienced by anything.

None of the people you're talking about are demanding socialism or whatever, any more than businesses in my analogy are demanding the Mafia. They just want what they're owed, promised when their money was stolen from them.

This is nothing more than sociopathic victim-blaming. And all you're really doing by making posts like this (and she is FAR from the only one) is admitting socialism is a complete and abject FAILURE and we need to remove every last ounce of it from our lives. 🔚
