It just all goes to prove that you must be very careful about the gods you choose to worship.

I imagine that socialism is looking pretty good in West Virginia right now.

Remember that Mao and Stalin both grew up in rural and small town settings.

The funny thing is that these people are likely to be fed, and likely by Liberals.

Mao's Great Leap Forward was fit the literal definition of progressivism. Laissez-faire capitalism fits the literal definition of liberalism.

What's the literal definition of hunger?

Why are these West Virginians hungry?

Who made them hungry?

Do you want to see these people fed?

I can tell you, after watching MAGA for a decade, that the classical response of that movement is to say let them starve.

It's just that they never expected it to be them.

Never in their wildest, selfish, dreams.

"Only the weak will fail".

What famous MAGA said that?

I suggest these folks start setting fur traps, stringing fishing lines, and eating squirrels and such.

And don't forget your bootstraps. Now get to work.

You guys just love taking shots at these people and letting them know that you take pleasure in their suffering. And then you wonder why they have as much disdain for as you as you do for them and consistently vote against people they associate with your ilk.

It's a good point.

But the bill has come due.

It is really hard not to say "I told you so" when we literally told them so.

These people voted for an obvious conman, grifter, felon, rapist, insurrectionist who has endangered my loved ones and is in the process of destroying the country I love

All to punish trans kids

Biden tried working with them, Biden tried investing in red areas

They chose Piggy over a normal human being.

Fuck them, I hope they all starve.

They started the disdain first. They convinced themselves that dems are pedophile protectors. They stripped the rights from women. They tried to overthrow the government.

They deserve disdain and worse
