    It’s an issue with definitions. When the right says the government is corrupt, they mean socially corrupt. When the left talks about the corrupt, they mean fiscally corrupt.

        My favourite logical fallacy is this: big, democratic government having control is bad, there’s too little oversight and too much corruption. Therefore, it is better if a billionaire, who rules autocratically without any oversight, is better.

      The right thinks that people are socially corrupt. Not the government. They think the government shouldn’t enable that corruption. But when it comes down to it, they hate people. They don’t hate institutions.

      The right wanting to eradicate minorities has nothing to do with fiscal corruption. It’s just pure evil.
