Literally the STUPIDEST analogy EVER



Are these people actually that stupid. Put aside the fact that the NFL is actually racist - compare a privately owned company selling tickets to what is effectively a show versus government policy on refugees and asylum seekers. Are they really that fucking stupid????

Right wingers are never good at comedy. They always either punch down, are stupid, or both. They really should just stop trying.

Through bonds, LID's, taxes, etc., most people don't understand just how much is publicly funded. I believe that is the case for what looks to be Mile High/Invesco/YoreTaxDollarsCo Field or whatever they call Denver's NFL stadium these days.

Too bad that the target of that meme will never dig deep enough to understand that.
