I think i finally get how this works. To get paid leave, single payer health care, etc. we just need to expand congress to approximately 350 million seats.

This would be the most funny way to achieve direct democracy

Once again, conservatives believe in hierarchy. Separate rules for separate people. That's it. That's the whole thing.

They don't see "the congress guy gets paid leave and the bartender does not" as contradictory. They see that as the rule of hierarchy being applied consistently and fairly.

Like, imagine if someone told you your alphabetically sorted bookcase was wrong because you had the colors all mixed up. The worldview they're applying doesn't even intersect with more typical ideas about fairness.
