[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you all wasting your time debating MAGA ghouls?  They don’t care! The cruelty is literally the point. They are morally bankrupt, don’t waste your breath. Many call themselves Christians lol[/quote]

We were at our neighbors house last weekend and talked about this. They are Christian and voted for Trump. We aren’t and didn’t. They don’t like everything he’s doing.

I would say they do care. They are heavily involved with helping people and are in a big organization of like minded people who help people. They put their money where their mouth is both literally and figuratively. They did express that they don’t believe that the government does a good job of helping people and we all should be helping people.

I disagree that all people who voted for Trump are ghouls or cruel or are morally bankrupt.[/quote]

The government does a fine job if not a perfect job. There is always room for improvement, but there will be no improvement the more it is defunded. So it is a self-fulfulling prophecy.
 
The patchwork of charities and nonprofits that fills the gaps (or tries to) will never have the same impact.

I get that it is ideological to them, but vulnerable people need and want help. They aren't there to make people feel good and virtuous for 'helping' them. I think about the woman in my community who runs a small charity that supports families with kids with cancer. She is constantly posting pics of herself visiting them in the hospital and asking for money for the org. I mean that is great and all but then she turns around and supports Republican policies. To my mind she cares about the personal fulfillment of her actions than actual effective policy. [/quote]

I’m the PP and these are my neighbors and I agree with you. But they aren’t cruel or ghouls and they put a lot of time, money and effort into helping people with no corresponding social media posting. It weirds me out but they say that’s God’s plan.

As they work closely with disadvantaged communities, I doubt they completely agree with the changes. [/quote]
