While annoying, its always interesting watching Republicans run these logical theoretical loops to explain how ACTUALLY they dont WANT children to starve, they should just be allowed to (or the same for whichever issue) while arguing thats not a thing republicans do and its actually our fault for just never actually talking to one for more than two minutes.

My Dad wants to kill protestors. My high school best friend thinks healthcare should be a premium commodity. I could go on, but these aren't obscure abstractions I'm extrapolating, they're sentences these people have said out loud to me (or in text.)

If you tell me poor children shouldn't be provided lunch, I'm going to think you're an asshole because you just told me you dont think poor children should be provided lunch. Jerk off about the free market and all these high concept solutions (that any other time most people would LOUDLY bemoan because it would require way more organized action than providing school lunch) all you want, children are still starving because you won't just let us feed them.
