These Monsters Must Be Brought to Justice [View all]

The cruelty. The abject fucking cruelty.

Donald Trump is starving and terrorizing his own people in the wealthiest nation on earth. If the next Democratic administration does not bring the people responsible for this to justice, Democrats do not deserve to govern ever again.

Let’s start with Trump’s forced starvation of the American people and how, in the best tradition of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, he is creating a man-made hunger crisis that will kill his own citizens. Ironically, it is Trump’s voters who will bear the brunt of this. The typical red county in the United States is poorer and more reliant on food assistance than a typical blue county. The highest SNAP participation rates cluster in the rural South, Appalachia, and the Midwest — regions that overwhelmingly voted Republican — while wealthier suburban and coastal counties, which voted Democratic, have far lower rates. The typical red county is poorer and more reliant on food assistance than the typical blue county.

Republicans have been brainwashed for decades to believe in the myth of the freeloading Black welfare queen, who sits at home eating bonbons while defrauding the government and voting for Democrats.
