I don’t understand how you can say “you have to have a kid even if you can’t support it” when it comes to abortion and then say “I don’t want my taxes to help pay for your kid’s food” when it comes to food assistance. The consequence is obviously going to be food insecurity for kids, why would you not want your tax money to help fix that? 8.4% of US kids are food insecure.
Evergreen George Carlin quote: “Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”
And then he told people not to vote… Get out and vote people! They do.
Yeah his take on that matter was spectacularly off base, even for comedy purposes
Well, it makes perfect sense when you realize these people view kids as nothing more than instruments of economic growth - forcing parents to work in conditions they don’t want to, to make ends meet. And nowadays, even lowering working age and working conditions for the kids themselves to force them to work as well. They are purely pro-capitalism and they want the kids to be forced to be born so there will be a steady supply of meat for the grinder. It’s that simple.
“I ignore infant mortality rates in the poorest states” “wow someone who shares my views”
I like the part where she admits she doesn’t give a shit about infant mortality rates in poor areas
It was never about the sanctity of life for most of them.

Illegal immigrants literally keep food on your table, because they are the majority of farm workers.
Why would Emily Miller post this? Only thing I can think of is that she’s communicating to her base and warning them it’s satire because she’s unsure they (and herself, apparently) are smart enough to realize their stances are comically evil.
i just confirmed this is a real tweet
inb4 they aren’t mocking anyone, they’re just a moron too
John Fugelsang is a pretty well known comedian / actor / podcaster and is definitely liberal. He’s been critical like this of republicans for as long as I remember.
I think the formatting leaves it to sound like a punch line
How can’t we not love the Orphan Crushing Machine?
I was kicked out of r/selfawarewolves (but not r/leopardsatemyface) and hope there are Lemmy equivalents or similar communities I can find. That was good day to day copium.
something something leopards eating faces…
More like highlighting the hypocrisy of evil.
It would be so amazing if someone like that suddenly would turn around and realise they’ve had harmful or stupid believes and change them. But I’ve never seen that happening. At most they switch from one extreme viewpoint to another. But it always has to hurt people.
