Every time I say it people push back but-
Republican voters vote that way because they believe things that aren’t true. They are not responding to real problems and cannot be reached by nuanced critique

Instructive to understand what made MAGA:
"Americans think that foreign aid gobbles up a massive 25% of the federal budget, polls say. The real figure is closer to 1% ($68bn in 2023, not counting most aid to Ukraine). That’s a very modest 0.25% of GDP"

Trump is dismantling USAID, the federal agency that oversees foreign aid. Historically, USAID has saved millions of lives in Africa through HIV/AIDS prevention. Currently, they are distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza. Call your senators and representatives today. Support USAID!
