In 1992, I asked William F. Buckley if he didn’t think his plan to tattoo HIV+ individuals on the forearm and the buttocks was reminiscent of Nazi Germany. He doubled down on it. This IS the conservative movement.
I know I should be over it, but the speed at which the organized conservative movement became the ideological home of Marion Le Pen, Seb Gorka, Nigel Farage, Dinesh D'Souza and their ilk remains shocking to me.

@Thoughts1211851 @SueNBCBoston If anything, I am a fool for having conversed with a troll. What you think of my abilities is irrelevant. You really ought to read the study on Deliverology to understand why so much money is wasted on social services.
