    Using taxes for healthcare - bad. Using taxes to get rid of brown people - good. The mental capacity of some people is amazing.

      “But if we use taxes for healthcare, some of my tax money would go to brown people and other people I hate. How is that fair at all?”

      Honestly, this is a strawman. There are so many reasons this is bad, we don’t have to pretend they are logically inconsistent if they aren’t actually. If you believe taxes should only be used for national defense/sovereignty/enforcing individual liberties on a national scale, then that is completely consistent. I’m not saying it’s good, but if people are here illegally and their kids are getting free public education, then they are using resources “meant for Americans/legal residents” and they are “stealing” them. Wanting to stop that isn’t inconsistent with not wanting M4A. M4A is good, and what Trump is doing is bad, but it’s bad policy, not inconsistent.

      Well see, using the money to hurt brown people makes healthcare cheaper somehow. You can’t just use the money for healthcare because that helps Brown people too. And we can’t have that
