I'm just sad for the US now. Hope you guys will get better times soon.

These chucklefucks always seem to choose the more expensive way of going about it in the name of saving taxpayers money. Abject morons.

So depriving children of food is a "priority" for them. I don't know how to describe that other than "disgraceful".

Gosh... Just imagine that not guaranteeing a meal to children, preventing them from eating in some cases, is what you want more than anything.

Simply blows my mind.

My Daily Reminder that this is a gold plated dystopia.

[–] OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

The second gilded age. And I'm not sure it will end as peacefully as the first.

They care about children until they’re born then they want nothing to do with them. Oh wait they also use children to pass anti lgbt legislation.

More orphans for the the orphan crushing machine

[–] arandomthought@vlemmy.net 6 points 2 years ago

The machine needs to be fed.

And I declare that voting these child-killers out of office is a 2024 priority.

[–] alottachairs@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Vote em out! not voting is complacency. Not voting is showing that this is acceptable.

I'm not saying voting is the only action needed, but it is an absolute bear minimum.

“It’s not enough that I should eat, children should starve. “ -the gop.

[–] TechyDad@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Either that or "I don't believe that anyone is starving. I just ate a large lunch so obviously nobody is going hungry."

They only recognize that something is real when it affects them personally. If it doesn't then they'll either claim the thing doesn't exist or will say it's that person's fault that they are going through that (likely for being "too lazy" to pull themselves up by their bootstraps).

Why would they alienate their voter base that mainly reside in impoverished red states? A portion of those poor brainwashed right-wingers have children too.

Can you guys see the parallel with a certain spiteful CEO who is the reason for our exodus...

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They know their voter base is too dumb to realize they are voting against their interests.

Fuck your kids, billionaires need yet another tax break. -Republicans.

this is unfortunate to say the least. Its hard to decide if Republicans have been cartoon villains all along or if they just began to be more honest. Sad thing is will it even stop folks from voting for them? lmao

[–] ProcurementCat@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'll say it again and again and again: If you assume Republicans to be foreign agents tasked with destroying the US economy, bankrupting its government, ruining its international image and killing as many Americans as possible, their actions make perfect sense.
