A convo I’ll never forget: a well-off Republican explaining how they were scamming WIC benefits and rationalized it with “c’mon everyone is scamming the system” and “about time I got something for my taxes.” Many “conservatives” believe if you aren’t cheating in some way, you’re a sucker.
Cranthemius Gilderthorpe (he/him/his)I’m a defense attorney that specializes in white collar cases. Most of my clients are conservatives. And almost all of them are chock full of reasons why they’re different from everyone in the system. “I’m not a criminal.” “You stole $4 million.” “You know what I mean.” “Yup.”
