Lmao my town is in an uproar because there is no bussing for the high school, but my town literally voted to disincorporate (and won!) rather than pay a double-digit yearly increase on their taxes… to pay for bussing.
More and more it seems like people just don’t want to help pay for services that are extremely helpful. Yet when those services are removed, they get all uppity about it. It’s just like brexit. Stupidity on a massive scale.
Because it’s extremely easy to convince people to make conservative decisions, but they have to actually be paying some level of conscious
attention to get behind progressive ideas.

people really hate being warned about the consequences of their actions.
“you can do whatever you want, and we’ll tell you it’ll be ok” will never not win votes.
