Tired of Conservatives

I’m tired of conservatives and their callous attitude towards everyone whose life is broken in some fundamental way, whether it’s drug dependency, psychological problems, the death of a spouse, or simply some combination of lack of skills and opportunity. I’m tired of conservatives telling everybody to get a job and stop looking for help.

I wish I could force these people to go sit for an hour and a half in a suicide ward or a soup kitchen so they could see both what broken people look like and the compassion of the people who help them.

You don’t have to be Mother Theresa to avoid being an asshole.
