    Very real Tweets I have received:

    Why is the government responsible for an act of God? Call your insurance company. Get what youre owed. Why is this confusing?

    I’ll take an imperfect democracy over a dictarship [SIC] every time and call it a win

    Stein? Man, if I wanted a MAGA putin puppet I’d just vote for trump

    Explain to me how student debt is somehow different from car debt, mortgage debt, and medical debt (!!!) such that borrowers should just be allowed to not pay it? Why is student debt special—especially when having a degree makes you MORE financially mobile.

    So funny that a Trumptard is talking about being duped. The MAGAt cult is a sight to behold. [Response to a suggested 3rd party vote]

          I was pointing out how stupid the argument of the highlighted tweet was.

          It’s a non argument and the opposite can also be said about the government.

          In this case, both insurance and the government have the duty to help their customers and citizens.
