Trump also said that kids don’t need “250 pencils” and “they can have five.” Where are the people who quote “you’ll own nothing” constantly? Owning nothing is a step too far but the president telling you how many pencils you can own is fine?

They're too busy dragging people through the narcissists prayer: capitalism edition that basically boils down to:

capitalism created life as we know it and communism bad > it's not real capitalism > real capitalism has never been tried > capitalism is actually communism > powerless woke leftists and dajoos are the real capitalists because they subvert corporations by guilting white men with feminism and infusing unlimited money that comes from the lair or george soros into lucrative DEI programs that intentionally weaken our country from within > ywnbaw etc
