I don’t have kids, but I’ll gladly pay to support public schools because good schools = good perception of my community.
And good perception = better services & quality of life for me!
This individualistic mindset doesn’t let people see the forest through the trees.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

Dark woke is blue pilling Republicans into thinking intentional government spending on infrastructure is cool.
The administration is putting up signs that say, "President Donald J. Trump" and "Rebuilding America's Infrastructure" at worksites funded by the 2021 bipartisan bill.

She isn’t the first person to let childlike wonder like souvenir collecting manifest into a manic moment.
Losing the ball clearly set something off deep down & rational emotional regulation washed away.
So the Dad became an avatar for her pain.
Just sad stuff.

Medical research repression, cloaked as a righteous anti-pharmaceutical holy war, remains the GOP’s most tactically harmful campaign.
Ignoring world-changing findings to stroke the egos of an elite few too lazy to conduct actual research is LUNACY.

National Guard deployment makes zero impact on crime prevention.
No job creation, grocery store installation, housing construction, school activity investment - nothing that addresses root causes.
It’s a headline stunt to feed the GOP’s over-militarization obsession.

Funny how the GOP supports the electoral college because it supposedly balances rural & urban influence.
But it’ll gladly dismantle geographically-logical districts, forcing reps to blend different community needs unnecessarily.
And all to appease a wannabe autocrat.
