      I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I’m absolutely not a psychologist, psychiatrist, or anything similar, but it’s starting to show that all of them have forgotten where they came from or the stories of where their family members came from. Most of these people were raised by Depression-Era parents who, without exaggeration, suffered and died due to lack of affordable food options. I’m sure some Republicans even experienced that same problem themselves in their childhood.

      I used to believe the ignorance of how important providing basic nutrition to the next generation is was based on a lack of life experience, and that may be true for some, but there’s no way every single one of them has no surface-level knowledge of true hardship. They have heard about it, read about it, and some have witnessed it firsthand.

      So to answer the question, it’s either a part of some long-term plan to control the public for their means (which is evil) or they are selfish pricks (which when you are in government, makes you evil). Unfortunately, it’s looking like both.

        I do not understand where this push from the right came from.

        This is incredibly cruel and inhumane.

        So, you do understand.
