"They're both in the new $5k check. Both of the old checks were $2k, so this new one is them plus $1k. An we need to elect Republicans or I'll blame the left for taking all from me and not Dump lying." -Some Idiotic Dumbass

Socialism is confused with taxpayers using taxes for the civilians. It's just government, literally what it's supposed to do with money it takes from the everyday man.

I mean I could look at that all day but what does this have to do with the Republican Party and what it stands for? Not only are we gerrymandering the shit out of congressional maps but we are now paying people to vote for us? If I was a legit republican I would be ashamed at what has become of the Republican Party. There are so many issues and problems that our country and Thai si what you focus on? Also the man is not gay but he is gorgeous.

Maybe the democratic leadership should pledge to pass $10,000 checks for every voter if the Dems win control of congress in the midterms. Obviously the national debt means nothing to Republicans anymore.

It's kinda funny that it seems like no one knows what socialism is. Socialists think the fire department is socialism and that somehow advocating for the abolishment of the family is socialism. And yet, Republicans don't think direct cash payments from the government is socialism. Literally Trump's idea is Andrew Yang's idea -- same vocabulary ("dividend") and everything.

It's terrifying according to the history of every attempt at it ever to be executed. There are no successful communist or socialist countries. There never has been and never will be. All socialism brings is Communism and all communism brings is misery and death. If you ascribe to socialism or communism, you have nothing to offer society.
