    My maga family members actually believe that. They think there were/are tens of thousands of government workers doing literally nothing and collecting pay checks. I don’t understand it at all, they are not stupid people but they always fall for and buy in on the dumbest aspects of the right.

        Do you know the difference between an idiot and a wise person?

        The wise person learns from the idiot.
