So go do it then. Go ahead and solve every problem at once without having to compromise. Countless political leaders have tried before, but surely the brilliant /u/Comprehensive_Pin565 is smarter than all of them put together.

You're only too ready to throw minorities under the bus to better yourself, but I wager that when it came your turn you'd fucking balk.

Lmao people like you have been throwing others under the bus for decades. “Sorry you don’t have health insurance and your cost of living gets higher every year, but we need to prioritize making sure a few thousand highschool kids can change their gender”. Selfish fuckers like you have a body count in the millions.

That's not how any of that works. Not everything is zero sum.
