'Starving Children As Strategy'

[sop]

"Starving kids to 'own the Libs'? While he’s building a ballroom? Really, Republicans? Fucking really?"

"How fucking dare they call themselves 'pro-life,' 'pro-family,' or 'Christian' while they’re perfectly content to starve children for political theater. How fucking dare they wrap themselves in scripture and the flag while turning hunger into leverage, cruelty into spectacle, and mercy into myth."

"Forty-one point seven million Americans rely on SNAP. Sixteen million are children — sixteen million small bodies balanced on the hinge of a congressional vote. Sixteen million futures that could be secured with a single act of conscience. One moment of courage. One spark of grace. They could find the money for SNAP tomorrow — hell, they already have the money — but they refuse.

"Why? Because suffering works for them. It’s collateral. Starvation is strategy."

"They were perfectly fine making the Trump tax cuts for the super rich permanent — no hesitation, no sermons about debt, no hand-wringing about the deficit. But food for the hungry? Sorry, kids. You’re on your own....Instead, Republicans smile for cameras, reciting their lines about 'fiscal discipline' while children go to bed hungry in the richest country on earth."
