It isn't even "Ate my face" so much as folks who were sold a bill of goods by conservative propagandists

  • Family Values!
  • Christian schools!
  • No crime!
  • Patriotic Unity!
  • Entrepreneurship and an Honest Work Ethic!

only to get there and discover

  • Spousal Abuse! Child Abuse! Rape! Intense Misogyny!
  • What kind of nerd needs an education? Get a job you stupid kids!
  • Lawlessness!
  • Deep misanthropy wrapped in the American Flag!
  • Scams! Price gouging! Poverty!

Turns out a liberal is just a conservative who has been mugged by reality.
