Please say this is self-deprecating irony.
It's funny that my views are apparently extremely unpopular around here because they seem fairly mainstream IRL even among my friends who are all going to vote for Harris. I don't think I would offend anyone by saying something similar at a group dinner (though some people might disagree) but I would be a little more circumspect and feel out the audience first if there were people I didn't know. Different bubbles, I suppose...
From what I'm reading it seems like you think helping people is a bad thing.
I don't think helping people is a bad thing. I'm generally in favor of a relatively high level of help (I vote for centrist Democrats, not Republicans) but I think that sometimes it is justified and appropriate to help less rather than more.
Spoken like a true centrist.
