#MisfitMemo: May Day!

Welcome to the #MisfitMemo, a weekly rewind of some of our best (worst?) tweets and posts! We tend to do a lot of damage on Twitter in one week, so this is just a sampling of what went down last week. Hope you enjoy!

May Day brought out the apologists for socialism. You know the ones, they scream that TRUE socialism has never been tried, y'all!

I think maybe there are special chapters of Marx that only they get to read.

Chapters like "Chapter 34: LOL, you thought I was serious?!"

Someone has to do the crushing. Someone has to keep everyone else in line. Someone has to write the rules and make the decisions.

The number of people in my mentions who think socialism and dictatorship are mutually exclusive is alarming. https://t.co/XdJIF9yaoF

In a move totally unlike Rex, he expressed his true feelings.

Man, I really, really fucking hate commies. Break a leg and puncture a lung and get hit by a bus, #MayDay2017! Cheers, you motherfuckers.

People unnecessarily freaked out because they are clueless about the Constitution. Just another day on Twitter!

So nobody involved seems to understand how the Constitution is amended. POTUS has absolutely no role in the process. https://t.co/dJegqe2mxf

@kylegriffin1 Everyone commenting here is fully aware that the President cannot alter the constitution, right? Just checking.

We were told you must have some arbitrary amount of experience being poor to be able to comment on personal responsibility. Alex had some words...

And don't @ me with your sob story. I heard every excuse in the book before I was 7 years old. Whatever you imagine goes on in dirt poor ...

— Alexandra F. B. (@VerumVulnero1) May 3, 2017

places is barely half the story. I fucking lived it, I don't need you to make excuses for anyone that doesn't deserve excuses.

The (terrible) ACHA was passed in the House and apparently the only appropriate response was, "ZOMG WE’RE GONNA DIE!!!"

AHCA rearranges the deck chairs on the ship that's been sinking for years and only now "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" https://t.co/CRCS3N1Lzh

Opinion: using hearts instead of brains is what has fucked up our healthcare system. https://t.co/t575op8mep

— CDP □⚾□ (@cdpayne79) May 5, 2017

I can't find a single objective article about the AHCA. It's all either hysteria or MAGA.

'You want people to die!' No, I want the federal govt constrained to its Constitutional limits. State govts can 'save lives' if they want.

Sounds like she's not hustling hard enough, tbh https://t.co/BjJoqm7u7h

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) May 4, 2017

Gruber himself chimed in to admit that, yes, Obamacare is flawed, but it's Trump's fault! We kid you not.

This is why I refuse to take the left's concern seriously. They aren't serious people.

In case you forgot, we don’t trust or like the government. And you shouldn't either.

The fear is legit not bc of what is or isn't going to happen but bc the govt has too much power, and everything seems possible.

— Dan (@danieltobin) May 7, 2017

Worst part of modern times, the lack of frontiers. Everywhere on earth is run by meddlesome busybodies who think they know better than you.

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) May 4, 2017

If changing a federal healthcare law has such an effect on you why can't you see that the federal govt being involved at all is the problem?

'Just make sure that government money keeps flowing.' - All politicians
'That "government money" is ours, you bastards.' - Us https://t.co/uejAQs0Kpv

Weird how every single government dietary guideline is completely wrong. Maybe we should assume this is the case with everything else too. https://t.co/t251svRA12

Daryl summed things up quite succinctly...

You create your own reality

Will all the sudden Twitter experts in French politics maintain interest or nah? #FrenchElection

Getting told pregnancy is violence by people who literally support dismembering or poisoning babies.

You have the freedom to practice your religious beliefs but we'll force you to violate them if someone else feels entitled to your service. https://t.co/Xj76lmrFGm
