You know what I don't want to hear, ever? What a "decent guy" (or "nice guy" or "good guy" etc.) Paul Ryan is. No, he isn't. He has relentlessly promoted and worked to advance devastating, bigoted, harmful politics. His ideology is malice, and he is a chillingly indecent person.

In the Paul Ryan paradigm of Us vs. Them, the Takers vs. the Makers, the concept of "the working poor" does not exist. His life has been dictated by inherent privilege and family connections, which we're not meant to note while admiring his shiny bootstraps.

In sum: Fuck Paul Ryan. And anyone who tries to tell you that he's a decent man or a principled conservative or whatever euphemism is employed to try to obfuscate the vast and reverberating harm he's done with the power he acquired via privilege, at least as much as "hard work."
