I mean you still haven't addressed how posting this was a bunch of BS?
You said they did it secretly? Not true
You characterized it as "Their programs": Not true, it was pretty much every government program.
You characterized it like it was some nefarious scheme, and when multiple people posted that it is pretty normal, and required to keep the government functioning, you ignored it.
You're intentionally acting in bad faith, which as I said, kind of makes me understand why you like PP.
And in the end, isn't that what you're asking for? For us to understand your point of view?
I do. You're motivation is grievance, and sticking it to the Libs.
Nothing more nuanced, or important. You're just childish.
And yeah, opinion pieces are good to read. What isn't cool is when someone intentionally presents them as fact and then ignores anyone who calls them out on it.
Perspective is cool. Misinformation is not.
