    theres only one party that thinks hunger is a political issue.

    True. But it’s not the one you think. 🇨🇳

    the regressive party strikes again

    We’re going to see soaring poverty in red states, with government officials saying the lazy stupid people are at fault and we’re better off without them.

    We’re going to see soaring poverty in blue states, with government officials saying they just don’t have permission or money or professional capacity to do anything and they’re just really sorry about it. Thoughts and prayers.

    And then we’re going to hear how bad things wouldn’t be happening if you’d just voted for the correct party, despite neither party dominant state seeming to have any solution, save to accelerate mortality among the lower classes.
