Where did you get that idea? When have communists ever been willing to "stick together" with right-wing conservatives?
Of course you haven't "tolerated" anything. Conservatives have tried to push all dissidents into second-class status for as long as they have been around. "Tolerating" someone else does NOT include passing legislation to criminalize the lifestyles of others.
Or, you know, you guys can secede so that you can have slavery and work around that pesky bothersome constitution. That worked so well for you last time.
Should be interesting to see how your country functions without taxation. I'm sure everyone will be more than happy to go out on the weekends and maintain your infrastructure. And when people lose their jobs, I'm sure you won't mind when they rob you just so they can put food on the table. When your house is burning, you can feel free to negotiate with whatever private firefighting business is in town to see if you can reach a deal on putting out the fire. I'm sure they'll be willing to negotiate a low fee with you.
As for the ACLU, I do like my civil liberties so I think we'd all be glad to keep them around.
How do you intend to pay for those cops and military since you've gotten rid of taxes? We'll go ahead and keep a national guard to protect ourselves from direct aggression. Enjoy funding your foreign wars without the tax income of 2/3 of the country's taxpayers, as the majority of those with higher education voted blue this year, as did the celebrities you malign.

Enjoy that. They'll still sell to us when we want them, but we won't have to keep subsidizing them with tax cuts while still paying for their products. Thanks.

We'll also keep the majority of educated Americans, thanks.
I fail to see why you'd want these people, but you seem thrilled to have them, so that's fine. Since red states take more from the government than they pay into it, I'm sure you'll be happy to keep subsidizing them. Blue states cost less than we pay in taxes, so maybe our bleeding hearts will be willing to send you something when you come knocking. Also, Alaska is the #1 biggest tax draining state in the union. Enjoy your maverick.
We clearly win there.
Sounds good to us. While you're pissing off the world and making enemies, we can go about our business unnoticed. Sounds awesome.
You're going to give job security to your way of life? What?
YAY theocracy. Sounds like Judeo-Christian hell.
No thank you. We'll take rational atheism though. Islam and Scientology are both right-wing, thanks.
Don't worry. You aren't paying the bill. You're a drain on the tax system.
Great. I'll actually be able to find a parking space and our gas will be far cheaper.
So while half your population is dying from treatable illness, we'll just have to "settle" for the standard of healthcare that third world countries like Canada (and the rest of Europe) enjoy. Oh darn.
We'll keep almost all of the decent music created in the last 100 years. Damn all those stupid lefty musicians!
You can practice a proven failure of an economic system, and we'll actually use taxes to help the people.
Of course those things don't offend us. What offends us is what YOU are trying to turn them into. If you'd stop embarrassing us, we'd be more proud of those things.
In general, yes. But the world doesn't need another Iran, so it's probably a bad idea.
Ha, I would take that bet in a heartbeat
