Through comments, I learned about other big myths Americans believe about foreign aid:
1/ it's risen past 1% in recent years, esp. due to Ukraine - false, max is about 0.5% in 2022 $80B
2/ it's used mostly *not* for humanitarian aid - nope
3/ It's mainly about military objectives - nope

It’s wrong to allow someone like this to be in charge of our country, and decisions that impact all our lives!
If people would have simply done their jobs to hold him accountable he wouldn’t be!
It’s wrong, and now we are all going to pay the price!

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US
We are the only highly developed nation without it
Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation
US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

Hey MAGA, remember when Donald Trump freed 5000 Taliban without even speaking to the Afghani government - then the Taliban took over the Afghani government? Then he struck a deal to get out of there and blamed Joe Biden for the Chaos he left behind, I do!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "owning the libs" is NOT acceptable criteria for selecting members of a Presidential cabinet that will affect the lives of millions.
Picking family members, sex offenders, and Russian assets is proof that trump remains a threat to America.

The media’s outrage isn’t that Kash Patel promised a vendetta against Hunter Biden.
It’s that Joe Biden protected his son from Kash Patel’s vendetta?

To recap, the guy nominated Ambassador to Israel does not recognize Palestine and the guy picked to lead the military gets drunk a lot and yells stuff like "Kill all Muslims".
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
