    Just like the the LDS are “pro-family.” What they mean is they are “pro-control.” The only reason these assholes have a family is societal pressure and they only reason they value it is because they think they have control over them. Guess what you fucking nut bags, if all you have is hoard of garbage piling up in your garage there is no reason your children need to stick around or listen to a word you say. That is, if your idea of connection is spouting racist, fascist, bullshit constantly.

    The difference between myself and a republican my age is they are still hoping that magical payday will come when mom and dad die.

      Yep. Not LDS but years of propaganda that ‘your’ family is ‘people you get to own’ has done real damage. Family values create a fun little hierarchy that many people have been taught to feel entitled to, it’s theirs for ruling over, and taking this socially acceptable power trip AWAY from people who’ve grown to expect it causes BIG EMOTIONS. They don’t seem to see family or societal obligations as real relationships, just requirements to fulfill so they can enjoy a little power. They fundamentally don’t understand that you have to be kind to people and support them if you want them to stay.
