    It’s the Republican MO: everyone needs to suffer from everything I’ve ever had to deal with at a bare minimum. More is fine, but anything less than every single issue I had to deal with (whether I really did, or just think I did, thanks to a healthy victim complex) is unacceptable.

    In practice, it looks a lot like the socialism they claim to hate, but only for negativity. Hoard everything good, distribute everything bad.

      And the “suffering” is always “I worked hard for what I got” meaning they got an entry-level job working 40 hrs a week that let them buy a house and raise 2.4 kids on a single salary.
