After, just like all the first world nations who had universal healthcare followed by famine.

Can’t avoid it.

Today I had to queue only five hours for my bowl of government issue gruel. Today was a good day. This is just how things are here in Europe.

Hey! This fancy pants is getting gruel while the rest of us eat bark! Which is totally fine thanks to inexpensive modern healthcare, but it’s still shit to eat!

He’s playing to his base: Conspiracy-minded fundamentalist Christians who are driven by fear, and have already ingrained associating the word famine with the book of Revelations.

There is a not insignificant number of his most hardcore cultists who literally believe that Trump is a messianic figure: not literally Jesus, but a man chosen by God to do his will, and all of his failures and troubles are caused by people who are literally possessed by demons.

The rest of his rhetoric is … these days, standard conservative demagoguery = anything I don’t like or agree with is communism.

He’s the angry fascist hype man for supply side Jesus.

Not sure God would have chosen such an asswipe.

I’m not a Christian, but iirc, that’s a thing with several prophets: they argue they’re bad vessels for god’s message because they gamble or something and god proves to them that he chose them and they’ll do it.

I did always assume they at least disavowed their former sinning ways though.

I don’t care what he needs. We need justice.

Well, separating his [REDACTED] from his [REDACTED] using the famous French invention called [REDACTED] would definitely be justice

It’s kind of already happened. Three hundred and fifty-odd free evaluations!

I wish we had that level of care. /s
