Americans when ~20k people are murdered each year (most of which don't take place on public transit): "The subway is unsafe because there's too much crime."
Americans when ~40k people die in car accidents each year: "This is literally the pinnacle of freedom! I feel so safe inside my personal tank!"

If I had a nickel for every prominent Republican who did something cartoonishly evil relating to pet dogs, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
According to Pew Research, the increased preference for Democrats at lower income levels and increased preference for Republicans at higher income levels only holds up until the highest income bracket, at which point there is a slight preference for Dems again.
Party preference apparently also only changes significantly based on income in non-college grads, with college grads maintaining a preference for Dems at all income levels.
According to their methodology, about 10% of the people they surveyed were classified as "upper income", so it can more or less be said to consist of the top 10% of earners (though the classification is adjusted by local cost of living, so it's not that clear). Given that this bracket is probably mostly made of college-educated professionals, it seems that education trumps income considerations for this specific bracket. So basically the preference for Dems/Reps based on income is only mostly true, with a spike in support for Dems amongst relatively wealthy college-educated professionals.
So his argument is basically "it's not bribing people for votes because I never intended to actually pay the bribes"? And it worked?
The cherry on top is that the judge who made the ruling is actually a Democrat.
If this keeps up we might get a Part 3 to this meme.
