This is what gets me about US conservatism.
Allegedly it’s all about being good neighbours and Christian charity and reverencing veterans to a staggeringly scary degree but when it comes to the idea that neighbours might actually work together to set up systems to ensure that their neighbours don’t starve or to prevent veterans from bleeding to death because they can’t afford an ambulance to the hospital, it all falls apart.
As long as someone steps in with a temporary handout everything is fine.
