that’s a weird priority to have… even weirder to be so proud to announce it
The cruelty is the point with Republicans. The cruelty always has been the point. The cruelty always WILL be the point.
Meanwhile, they literally get free lunch. It’s some ridiculous stipend over $100 a day. Tax corporations and the 1%, no never. Starving children though, excellent idea. Can’t get kick backs from a single parent who’s struggling. Plus we can use the money we saved to give Uvalde another armored vehicle. That’ll help the children. We are truly screwed.
Very on brand for them. Especially after they denied free school lunch in North Dakota and turned around a week or so later and raised their daily meal allowance.
How dare you suggest that children and our future are more important than old millionaire boomer trolls, that uses every fiber of their being to screw everyone over so that they can have enjoy free vacations from their CEO friends?
I’m just sad for the US now. Hope you guys will get better times soon.
what they fail to understand is that for poorer communities, kids rely on these lunches for meals when their families can’t afford to buy food
I’d argue that they understand it perfectly. The cruelty is the point.
No, they understand, they just don’t care.
No, they understand and they care… They want the poor to be trapped by debt and struggling starting at a young age.
And they want those children to have jobs to pay for their own lunches.
“Toughen up little Suzie, you gotta get back to work if you want to eat.”
Fucking psychopaths
This goes kinda well with actual stated goals of some republican representatives, who want to loosen up child labor laws.
Yes, that was my point. They’re practically trying to legislate the kind of stuff that would have literally been cartoon villain conspiracies back in the 90’s. It’s insane that we’ve let them shift the discourse this far right. We’re already in dystopian late-stage capitalism with crumbling public infrastructure being used as an excuse to increase giveaways of public funds to private corporations and that’s just not right-wing enough.
To these people, freedom only counts if it’s for the owner/capitalist/investor class. How else could we claim with a straight face to be the land of the free when we have the highest prison population per capita on the planet?
but it’s their fault! /s
“those deadbeat parents should’ve got an abortion if they can’t feed their kid” --republicans probably
The Republican party serves the rich. Poor Republican voters are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires so they are cool with suffering themselves as long as other poor people are suffering. Other people deserve to suffer because of skin color, religion, “laziness”, or whatever, so they keep voting to cut services for themselves.
I think they understand, and they take pleasure in it.
Something something bootstraps.
Really putting evil front and center this time, huh.
I personally cannot stand the idea of children from low income househodls having something to eat

“It’s not enough that I should eat, children should starve. “ -the gop.
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).
“I don’t believe that anyone is starving. I just ate a large lunch so obviously nobody is going hungry.”
Exactly. Same energy as “I made a snowball in January so obviously global warming doesn’t exist and neither does the sun by the way.” Weaponized incompetence at the object permanence level.
If it was just apathy, they wouldn’t be going out of their way like this to make it worse. ~Cherri
What happened to states rights? Wasn’t that the rationale of getting rid of RoweVWade? Oh yeah, that was another lie. Of course it was.
Conservative beliefs in “state rights” are just as valid as they were when the Dredd decision was made. They want maximum cruelty to be imposed on the greatest number of people and will use whatever power they have to inflict it. Maybe today that’s state rights while tomorrow it will be federally mandated law. Whichever path allows them to exercise their will over others is the one they will choose in the moment. Every other principle they will waffle and flip flop over, but they are always consistent on maximizing their ability to hurt innocent people.
You’ve hit the nail on the head! States rights only apply to (insert conservative ideology here). It’ll be interesting to see if book banning continues to be allowed as it’s the perfect example of a law that shouldn’t be legal.
Tearing down women’s rights. Ruining queer people’s life, especially trans people. Making sure children can’t eat for free. Wow. Quite the priorities over at the Republican party.
I’m not American, I’ve just been looking from afar for a long time now. But from everything I’m seeing… it feels like they’re going to be in for quite the rude awakening in 2024.
Unless you’re Russian, you probably aren’t familiar with living in the kind of media environment we have which can cause these clearly absurd ideas to seem normal for people to have. This lunacy is within our overton window. Centrists think it’s about half right. Liberals think it’s wrong but more or less fair to hold these views. A younger and further left contingent which has almost no representation in the government (because we put elecrions upnfor sale in 2010 with Citizens United) but is growing is the only group who finds this kind of thing completely unacceptable.
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.
Malnutrition leads to developmental delays. Poor academic performance in early years means they’re less likely to go to college, and ma not even finish high school. This helps create the next generation of wage slaves that are required for capitalism to survive.
In other words, working as designed.
Why design it like that though? And I know someone’s going to say “money and power and evil” or something but that just pushes the question further back. ~Cherri
These people jerk off to the idea of hurting children. Every new policy Republicans come up with, whether its supporting
child marriagelegalized rape with 12 year olds or trying to bring back child labor, or making children too hungry to learn anything in school, makes their “moral” panic over a bunch of people who happen to be wearing dresses reading to kids even more hypocritical. Honestly I think it’s the idea of children being functionally literate that probably terrifies them the most.
Republicans ensuring the US will continue wandering the path to a 3rd world country.
Can somebody please think off the children!!
Oh wait…
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…
They know their voter base is too dumb and enraged by right wing propaganda to realize they are voting against their interests.
